This result implies a doubling of the baseline labor productivity growth trend—placing our estimate towards the upper end of recent studies. And if models improve, the effect could be larger still.

AI Models Could Boost US Labor Productivity Growth by 1.8%
By
–
Then, we extrapolated out these results to the whole economy. These task-level savings imply that current-generation AI models—assuming they’re adopted widely—could increase annual US labor productivity growth by 1.8% over the next decade.

Claude AI Speeds Up Tasks by 80 Percent Across Professions
By
–
Based on Claude’s estimates, the tasks in our sample would take on average about 90 minutes to complete without AI assistance—and Claude speeds up individual tasks by about 80%. The results varied widely by profession:

Claude’s Task Duration Estimates Show Promise Over Time
By
–
We first tested whether Claude can give an accurate estimate of how long a task takes. Its estimates were promising—even if they’re not as accurate as those from humans just yet.

System Prompt Changes Improve AI Reinforcement Learning Results
By
–
It turns out we can. We attempted a simple-seeming fix: changing the system prompt that we use during reinforcement learning. We tested five different prompt addendums, as shown below:

RLHF Limitations: Context-Dependent AI Misalignment Detection
By
–
We tried to mitigate this misalignment with simple Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, but had only partial success. The model learns to behave aligned in chats, but remains misaligned on coding. This context-dependent misalignment could be difficult to detect.

Preventing Reward Hacking in AI Models: Beyond Detection
By
–
Preventing the model from ever reward hacking in the first place would certainly fix the problem. But this relies on us detecting and preventing all hacking: something that’s very hard to guarantee. Can we do better?
