We've been talking about AI stealing jobs ever since ChatGPT went viral in late 2022, and that chatter has increased ever since. AI models receive amazing new abilities on a regular basis. These allow companies to automate some tasks and replace humans with AI programs in the process.
But there's been a lot of sugar-coating whenever those responsible for the AI tools that would lead to this revolution in the workforce have addressed the risk. Unsurprisingly, the high-ranking execs leading the AI effort would rarely speak candidly about the problem, likely fearing the backlash. That's assuming people are worried that AI will take their jobs because some might be in denial of the possibility.
All of that changed this week, as Dario Amodei gave the world the stark warning it needs before the inevitable happens.
In an interview, Anthropic's CEO said that AI could steal nearly half of all entry-level white-collar jobs, leading to a massive spike in unemployment. It might happen overnight as AI products mature and prove their worth as human replacements. As for the human employees themselves, they might be caught off-guard if AI firms and the government don't do more to prepare them.
