Google DeepMind launched an AGI institute and opened with an economics essay graded by 51 AI raters.

The DeepMind Institute is a venue for Google and DeepMind researchers to publish AGI ideas explicitly flagged as not Google's official view. The opening essay by Julian Jacobs and Alex Imas evaluates 11 policies across welfare, agency, feasibility and durability, tiered by severity: expanded unemployment insurance and an enhanced EITC for mild disruption, an EITC converted to a Negative Income Tax for moderate displacement, and Universal Basic Capital granting direct ownership stakes in publicly managed portfolios as the structural backstop. The methodology is the part to argue about. The authors used 51 AI agent raters trained on real economists to score the policies.
