Beating AI News Flash: Anthropic’s latest economic scenario model shows that in the most extreme case, if AI can independently complete the vast majority of knowledge-based jobs and spread rapidly, the U.S. annual GDP growth rate could reach 15%, with the economy doubling roughly every 4.5 years. By 2030, U.S. GDP could hit $44.4 trillion, 32.4% higher than in a scenario without AI. Anthropic emphasized that this is a conditional extreme scenario, not a formal forecast. Earlier, Elon Musk put forward a more radical assessment: he recently stated that combining AI with humanoid robots will drive the global economy to more than double in less than 10 years, and views the mass production of humanoid robots as a key milestone for this shift. The two views share clear logical alignment: Anthropic’s calculation focuses on the economic impact of large-scale automation of knowledge work by AI, while Musk extends AI’s capabilities to the physical world, arguing that after humanoid robots enter mass production, automation will expand from the digital realm to real-world production. However, Anthropic clarified that its current model does not yet include humanoid robots with superhuman capabilities. The firm’s survey of 10,980 U.S. respondents found that their typical expectation only translates to a 10% higher GDP in 2030 than in the no-AI scenario, with only around 10% of respondents offering judgments close to the extreme scenario.

Citadel Securities has submitted comments to U.S. regulators, urging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to oversee event contracts related to U.S. listed companies. The market maker stated that trading platforms should not evade the SEC’s regulatory jurisdiction by self-certifying with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The dispute over regulatory authority for event contracts is intensifying. Currently, some U.S. prediction markets launch such contracts under the CFTC framework, and as event contracts gradually cover financial assets like stocks, the regulatory boundary between the SEC and CFTC has become a key focus of the market.

Beating AI Express (Dongcha News) reports that OpenAI is currently secretly developing a screenless AI hardware prototype in Shenzhen, with a planned launch in 2027. An industry insider said the project is under extremely strict confidentiality, with OpenAI engineers not even carrying mobile phones during their business trips to Shenzhen. Judging from its form and timeline, this is likely OpenAI’s first consumer hardware being developed in collaboration with Jony Ive’s team, though this has not been fully confirmed. Bloomberg previously revealed that the device is a portable screenless smart speaker, shaped like a donut, roughly the size of a hockey puck, equipped with a camera, microphone, lights and moving parts, priced at an estimated $300 to $400 and scheduled for a 2027 launch. OpenAI began tapping into China’s supply chain as early as last year. The Information reported at the time that Luxshare Precision had secured assembly contracts for at least one OpenAI device, and OpenAI had also approached GoerTek to source speaker modules.
