Anthropic Report Warns AI May Widen Gap Between Rich and Poor Countries

AI startup Anthropic has warned that the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence could deepen global inequality. Based on analysis of over one million interactions with its Claude AI chatbot, the company found that wealthier countries are adopting AI far faster than low-income nations.

The report shows that richer nations use AI for productivity and enterprise tasks, while poorer countries rely mainly on free versions for education. Experts warn this imbalance could lead to long-term divergence in economic growth and living standards.

Anthropic plans to expand its presence in India, its second-largest market for AI usage.
