Will AI Wipe Out Millions of Jobs? CEO Warns of Mass White-Collar Unemploymen

In a recent interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei issued a stark warning about the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the job market. He projected that AI could eliminate up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years, potentially raising unemployment rates to between 10% and 20%. Amodei emphasized the urgency for policymakers to address these challenges proactively.

This perspective aligns with broader concerns in the tech industry. For instance, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted that while AI is transforming job roles, individuals risk losing employment to others who adeptly leverage AI tools.
