""As with most things, when an exponential is moving very quickly, you can't be sure," Amodei said at the event. "I think it is likely enough to happen that we felt there was a need to warn the world about it and to speak honestly." Amodei said that government intervention may be necessary to support individuals whose occupations are displaced by AI, and Clark emphasized that Anthropic predicts a substantial "scale of disruption" in society due to AI within the next five years."
"Anthropic raised $13 billion earlier this month at a $183 billion valuation. The AI startup released a report earlier this week that suggested that AI has the "potential" to displace workers. The majority of businesses using its chatbot, Claude, were automating tasks instead of helping people accomplish them. Claude had 30 million monthly active users globally as of the second quarter of this year. "Given clear automation patterns in business deployment, this may also bring disruption in labor markets," the report stated."
Anthropic leaders warn that AI is likely to displace jobs and that rapid exponential progress creates significant uncertainty about timing and scale. The company calls for honest public warning and anticipates a substantial scale of disruption in society within the next five years. Executives argue that government intervention and policy responses will be necessary to support individuals whose occupations are displaced by AI. A company report indicates many businesses deploying its Claude chatbot automate tasks rather than augment worker productivity, increasing potential labor-market impacts. Claude reported 30 million monthly active users in Q2 and the company recently raised $13 billion at a $183 billion valuation.
