For quite some time it has been said that advances in artificial intelligence could end up impacting the loss of employment in many professions. In general, criticisms made by different experts, but not of the responsible people who create these new AI models.
So it is surprising that Dario AmodeiCEO of Anthropic, has launched an important warning in which he basically comments that artificial intelligence could eliminate half of the initial level office jobs in the next five years.
Comment that this mainly affect the technological sectors, finance, law and consulting, with unemployment rates close to 20 %.
In their statements with axios, he asked that both the government and technology companies stop “sweetening” reality and begin to prepare for what is coming.
He adds that most people are not aware of the magnitude of the problem and that the important thing is to raise awareness and thus avoid an uncontrolled labor crisis: «It seems crazy, and people simply do not believe it.»
While it speaks of data properly from the United States, obviously these advances in artificial intelligence could also be extrapolated to other countries.
Clarify that in recent years Massive dismissals have been seen in many technological companies, because artificial intelligence is replacing functions that previously made people.
While there are many companies that continue to say that AI serves to support workers, Amodei clarifies that this help has the days counted And that he believes that these systems will soon stop complementing humans and will begin to replace them.
So, to fight what is coming, Amodei states that you have to make it very clear on the part of governments what are the jobs at risk.
He also suggests that the workers themselves specialize in artificial intelligence so that they can manage it instead of being replaced by it.
In any case, he affirms that universal basic income would be the best solution when artificial intelligence is so advanced that most of the jobs have been replaced by machines.
