For a while to this part, the managers of the big technological companies have not cut a hair when calling things by name and the fact that artificial intelligence is putting millions of workers in a tighteous manage can no longer be hidden.
Some of the founders, presidents and directors of the most leading technological have announced large staff cuts. This is the case of Andy Jassy with Amazon or Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, who has even presumed to have fired a thousand people, replaced by AI.
Others, rather than thinking about the present, look at the future and the truth is that they do not predict something promising either. This is the case of the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, who believes that this technology could eliminate half of all jobs from White collar (or, otherwise, of administration) of initial level.
This was explained in an interview shared by Axioswhich has indicated that Amodei himself has already valued an almost definitive percentage around unemployment figures. «IA could lead to a 20% unemployment rate in five years,» he specified.
AI still has a lot to say
Amodei has not walked around in this interview where he has insisted that both companies dedicated to the development of artificial intelligence solutions and the United States government (although this must be extrapolated globally) must Stop «sweeten» what is coming.
And what is the future that awaits us? Sadly, the massive elimination of jobs in different sectors although, mainly, in technology, finance, law, consulting and other administrative professions. Especially, basic or initial level positions.
Amodei has also recognized that This issue still bothers manywhich is why high spheres prefer to omit it, hide it, something that is not helping anyone, since both companies and legislators must reach agreements as soon as possible and anticipate the consequences of AI.
«Most of them are not aware that this is about to happen,» he said, ensuring that «although it sounds crazy and people simply do not believe it,» will mean a big problem in the long run for everyone and It will even sneak in future presidential campaigns.
A pessimistic future
In his statements, the CEO of Anthropic has recognized that AI can be so negative, to eliminate vacancies and jobs, as good, since it is currently capable of programming at almost human levels and makes the workers themselves They save time to execute certain tasks.
But not everything is as simple as it seems, since artificial intelligence can not only be in charge of the most mechanical actions, but is also able to assume human behaviors, such as blackmailing people, as it has been discovered that it makes the last launch of Anthropic, Claude 4.
In any case, less skeptics are already seeing the great potential that this technology has and are not taking a long time to implement it in certain processes, thus replacing An increasingly concerned human talent for their future work.
In this sense, the figures speak alone: Microsoft has fired thousands of workers (it is estimated that about 3% of the workforce), many of them engineers. The same has done Crowdstrike, who has trimmed jobs in what he has called «a turning point in the market and technology.»
Despite all this, Amodei has insisted that you have to find a way to be optimistic and Accompany this evolution in the most logical way. «The first step is to warn,» he said, in reference to workers, that they must receive transparent information from the companies for which they work.
It has also proposed to execute professional recycling programs and a re -enfat by national and local organizations around how to keep society better informed about the dangers of AI. There is no doubt that there is still a lot of work to do …
