The impact of this technology will be shaped, not just by the capabilities as they advance, but also the choices that we make, and those choices will help us pursue a vision that the benefits of the technology can be broadly felt, and whatever transition costs associated with this technology are not unequally borne.

Verification History

Disputed Fortune’s April 7, 2026 interview does attribute a very similar statement to Peter McCrory, but the published text is not an exact verbatim match to the submitted quote. In the article, the sentence appears with omitted lead-in words ("...is this recognition that...") and even reads "the impact of this technology is will be shaped," not the submitted "will be shaped." Because I did not find a reliable source containing the submitted wording exactly as written, I would not verify this as a verbatim quote.

AI Verified Quote verified via web search (fortune.com returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but search results reproduce the wording verbatim from the cited 7 Apr 2026 Fortune article on Anthropic's labor-market research — the primary source). Peter McCrory (Anthropic Head of Economics) is confirmed saying the impact "will be shaped, not just by the capabilities as they advance, but also the choices that we make, and those choices will help us pursue a vision that the benefits of the technology can be broadly felt, and whatever transition costs associated with this technology are not unequally borne." Year 2026 correct, author attribution confirmed. Vote alignment: his vision of broadly-felt benefits and not-unequally-borne transition costs is consistent with his "for" vote on "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth." · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 21d ago
