Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI advancements may lead to a significant loss of entry-level white-collar jobs in the near future, with potential unemployment rates of 10-20% in the U.S. by 2030. The tech journalist Chris Stokel-Walker corroborates this by noting companies are already reducing workforce in favor of AI, particularly impacting office roles. Stokel-Walker is cautious about the hype around these developments but acknowledges the importance of agentic AI. The article stresses the need for governments and individuals to prepare for major changes in employment and economic relationships.
