Anthropic CEO Predicts AI Could Cut 50% of Entry-Level White-Collar Jobs
- On June 5, 2025, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei cautioned that artificial intelligence has the potential to eliminate up to 50% of junior roles in white-collar professions across the U.S., particularly impacting industries like technology, law, and finance.
- This warning arose amid recent large workforce reductions and a 27.5% decline in jobs in developing markets, driven partly by AI adoption and automation.
- Amodei and AI expert Tim Kapp emphasized that job displacement is happening faster than new roles emerge, urging immediate policy and workforce adaptation efforts.
- Amodei warned that many workers remain uninformed about the imminent risk of job losses, predicting that without intervention, U.S. unemployment could increase to between 10% and 20%.
- Their warnings suggest governments and AI companies must urgently prepare workers and adjust policies to mitigate the significant economic and social disruption ahead.
