Behind the Curtain: A white-collar bloodbath

Dario Amodei — CEO of Anthropic, one of the world's most powerful creators of artificial intelligence — has a blunt, scary warning for the U.S. government and all of us: AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years, Amodei told us in an interview from his San Francisco office. Amodei said AI companies and the government need to stop "sugar-coating" what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting, and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs.
