AI startup Anthropic is sounding the alarm on AI’s potential to reshape the workforce — and not in a good way, CNN reported May 29. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, told CNN in an interview that AI is on track to disrupt the white-collar labor force at an unprecedented pace. He warned that U.S. unemployment could rise to 20% within one to five years. Entry-level, white-collar roles could be hit hardest, with up to half potentially eliminated as AI grows more capable, Mr. Amodei told Axios.
