At the end of May, the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, seemed to open the door to a sensitive subject, warning that half of the entry -level jobs could disappear within five years due to AI and push us to unemployment up to 20%. But Amodei is far from alone to share out loud that he plans a bloodbath of the workforce. A new WSJ History Emphasizes how the other CEOs also emit disastrous predictions on the impact of the employment of AI, transforming the use of condemnation into something of a competitive sport.
Several of these predictions were presented before the comments of Amodei. For example, during the annual JPMorgan investor day earlier in May, her chief of the consumer bank, Marianne Lake, projected on the AI ”would be”enable“A reduction in the workforce by 10%. But they arrive quickly, and more and more sudden since. In a note last month, Andy Jassy of Amazon warned the employees to expect a smaller workforce due to the “Once in life“The technological change that is underway. The CEO of Thredup said at a conference last month that AI would destroy” much more jobs than the average person thought. “In order not to be outdone, Jim Farley of Ford may have presented the most radical complaint to date, saying last week that the AI” will literally replace Half of all white collars In the United States “
This is a spectacular change compared to the previous public statements prudent of managers on the movement of employment, notes the newspaper. Indeed, the point of sale notes that if certain technology leaders – including powerful IA companies – have proposed that fears are exaggerated, the growing warning chain suggests that massive restructuring arrive, whether people are ready for them or not.
