Dario Amodei, chief executive of Anthropic, has warned that artificial intelligence could replace a large share of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next one to five years, raising fresh concerns about the future of work.
Amodei stated in a recent interview that artificial intelligence is advancing faster than many corporations and legislators realize. Modern AI systems can now perform tasks often handled by junior personnel—including summarising papers, generating ideas, and preparing financial reports.
He says that artificial intelligence has grown significantly in just two years and is becoming more advanced across many sectors, including financial, advisory, and technological sectors.
He cautioned that while the technology could lead to significant advancements in medicine and science, as well as less expensive energy, it might also reduce opportunities for young professionals starting their careers.
The News Chronicle gathered that Amodei thinks companies progressively automating early-career jobs that typically help people get experience and establish careers could lead to a severe employment problem.
He also stated that it is impossible to halt artificial intelligence development, given the great number of businesses running ahead in the field globally.
Instead, he pressed governments to focus on controlling the change through reskilling, artificial intelligence training, and laws that allow employees to profit from increased productivity.
Likewise, recent studies by the International Labor Organization and the International Monetary Fund caution that AI is likely to transform millions of jobs worldwide, especially in highly digitized countries.
