Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is warning that AI could end up causing a mass elimination of jobs in technology, finance, law, and consulting, among other professions, as well as wipe out half of all entry-level white collar jobs.
Amodei, who leads one of the world’s most powerful AI companies, told Axios that “most” lawmakers “are unaware that this is about to happen.”
The Anthropic CEO said AI companies and the government need to stop “sugar-coating” what will happen next, which he warns could be a mass erasure of jobs in a variety of fields, and the axing of half of all entry-level white collar jobs, which Amodei says will lead to a 10-20 percent spike in unemployment in the next one to five years.
