Anthropic CEO: AI could wipe out half of entry-level jobs


AI's rise could result in a spike in unemployment within one to five years, Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, warned in an interview.

He added that AI companies and the government need to stop "sugarcoating" the risks of mass job elimination in fields including technology, finance, law, and consulting. Amodei's chilling message comes after the company recently revealed that its chatbot Claude Opus 4 exhibited"extreme blackmail behavior" after gaining access to fictional emails that said it would be shut down. OpenAI, for example, says on its website that its API and ChatGPT business products undergo routine third-party testing to "identify security weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors."
