Anthropic Researchers: How AI Will Create A Radically Better 2030s

The gist

1. AGI-level models matching human capability across most tasks are likely within 2 to 3 years, making now the key moment for career and business decisions.
2. Generalists who find high-impact problems will have an edge over narrow specialists, since AI will increasingly handle the execution side of work.
3. Biology is seen as the highest-impact domain for AI over the next 6 to 24 months, with lab infrastructure and supply chains as a strategic gap for entrepreneurs.
4. Bio risks remain dangerously offense-dominant and Douglas and Marwell say hundreds of billions in defensive infrastructure are needed before wide capability release.
