Anthropic Warns AI Boom May Widen Global Inequality

Anthropic Warns AI Boom May Widen Global Inequality

Anthropic, a company that makes AI tools, has found that richer countries are using AI much faster than poorer ones.

This could make the gap between rich and poor countries even bigger.

In richer countries, people use AI for work and business, while in poorer countries, it's mostly used for education.

Anthropic is opening an office in India, which is a big market for them, but they warn that without help, the AI boom might not help everyone equally.

They think AI could make work more productive in rich countries, but it's not clear if this will happen everywhere.

A recent study also showed that many companies using AI haven't made a profit from it yet.
