AI CEO says technology ‘moving very quickly,’ could soon replace more jobs
AI CEO says technology ‘moving very quickly,’ could soon replace more jobs
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei doubled down on his warning that artificial intelligence could soon cause mass unemployment, even as the technology’s current capabilities lag behind many predictions.
Amodei, who runs one of the world’s leading AI labs, warned that the technology is advancing “very quickly” and has already begun replacing jobs at Axios’ AI+ DC Summit on Wednesday.
“This is already happening,” Amodei said.
Amodei’s comments come as recent data points to a labor market that is weakening quicker than expected. The unemployment rate hit a three-year high last month, and the economy is adding relatively few jobs compared to recent years. It is unclear whether the labor market slowdown is related to AI technology, though.
In many cases, AI remains more about its promise than its current returns. Apple, for example, found that an AI-powered Siri assistant wasn’t up to its quality standards, and in several cases, the use of AI chatbots has been linked to mental health spirals.
This isn’t the first time Amodei has sounded the alarm about AI’s potential to wipe out jobs. In May, Amodei warned that the AI tools that Anthropic and other companies are racing to build could eliminate half of entry-level, white-collar jobs and boostunemployment to as much as 20% in the next one to five years.
“When an exponential is moving very quickly, you can’t be sure. This could happen faster than I imagine, this could happen slower than I imagine, or something very different could happen,” Amodei said on Wednesday.
“But I think it is likely enough to happen that we felt that there was a need to warn the world about it,” he added.

Amodei also suggested the government may need to step in and support people in adapting to the AI revolution, perhaps by taxing AI companies’ gains.
Some critics have suggested that Amodei’s repeated warnings sometimes serve more to burnish his image as a responsible leader in the field or to elevate his technology’s market position.
But Amodei argued on Wednesdaythat many people are underestimating AI.
“I think there’s a little disconnect here, where people will sometimes say, ‘Oh, you’re worried about what AI is going to do to jobs, but AI can’t do this, AI can’t do that,’” he said. “Well, we’re talking about today’s AI. The technology is moving quickly.”

.... for the copier industry, I think discussion about how AI empowers copiers in the office workplace is being promoted by all OEMs in one way or another.
It is almost expected in most press releases with the promise of greater productivity and less man hours to complete a task.
How AI will effect manpower levels in the copier industry is unknown. I think back office staff are most at risk.
I think most people agree that the copier/ print industry particularily amongst service techncians is greying with old age.
I do not think even with a modern very reliable copier, you can ever replace a sales or service person being onsite to cater to a customers needs. Unboxing, assembling, delivering, integrating and troubleshooting cannot be done without human hands.
I do think that those people who earn a living from touching a keyboard all day are at risk.
AI consumes vast amounts of water and electricity stressing out the environment.
If AI starts causing massive job losses especially among entry level positions, society is going to suffer some real dislocations.
A favorite resort of the foreign residents of Yokohama during the summer months is the island of Enoshima. It is about twenty miles away, and is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Japanese, on account of certain shrines that are reputed to have a sacred character. Doctor Bronson arranged that his party should pay a visit to this island, as it was an interesting spot, and they could have a glimpse of Japanese life in the rural districts, and among the fishermen of the coast. "But as we are in for it," he continued, "we must make the best of the situation, and hope to go through in safety. Many a strong ship lies at the bottom of the sea, where she was sent by just such a storm as we are about to pass through, and many another has barely escaped. I was once on a ship in the China seas, when the captain told the passengers that it would be a miracle if we remained half an hour longer afloat. But hardly had he done speaking when the wind fell, the storm abated, and we were safe. The typhoon is to these waters what the hurricane is to the West Indies; it is liable to blow at any time between April and September, and is often fearfully destructive. OPIUM-PIPE. OPIUM-PIPE. "Surely your ladyship knows Dr. Bruce!" Hetty said with a vivid splash of colour on either cheek "A little time ago I understood that Dr. Bruce----" "I require that everywhere a strict investigation shall take place into the conduct of the soldiers with regard to the life and property of the civilian population. "Where were they buried?" They all pressed forward. "Count out. That's the only fair way," shouted the boys in the center. "Now, there's three loaves o' bread for the Sargint," said Harry, laying them down on a newspaper. "There's three for the Corpril; there's three for me; there's three for you." "'T?un't peas, thick 'un," Vennal would break in uproariously, "it's turnips—each of 'em got a root like my fist." At this moment of perplexity, some medicine, that she had obtained from Edith, occurred to her, and, with a feeling of confidence, and almost of extacy, she took a phial from a shelf in a cupboard where she had placed it, and, pouring out the contents in a large spoon, hesitated an instant ere she administered it. "Let me see," said she; "surely it was a large spoonful Edith told me to give—yet all that was in the phial doesn't fill the spoon. Surely I can't be wrong: no—I remember she said a large spoonful, and we didn't talk of any thing else—so I must be right." But Mary still hesitated, till, hearing a sudden noise in the court-yard, which, she conjectured, was her mistress returned, and as the child was getting worse every moment, she leaned back its head, and, forcing open its mouth, compelled the patient, though with difficulty, to swallow its death. The draught was taken; the rigid muscles relaxed, and for a minute the child lay motionless in her lap; but in an instant after, Mary could scarcely suppress a shriek at the horrid sight that met her gaze. The eyes opened, and glared, and seemed as if starting from the head—the fair face and the red lips, were blue, deepening and deepening, till settling in blackness—the limbs contracted—the mouth opened, and displayed a tongue discoloured and swollen—then came a writhing and heaving of the body, and a low, agonized moan: and, as Mary looked almost frantic at this dreadful sight, Edith's words, when she had given her the phial, "that there was enough there to kill," suddenly occurred to her—and then, too, came, with a dreadful distinctness, the remembrance of the true directions which Edith had given. It was nearly noon the next day, when the under-sheriff entered the room to ask if their opinions were yet unanimous. The galleyman still refused. "That for ye, coward," said Tyler, striking him with the flat side of his bared weapon. Oakley aimed another thrust which was again turned aside, and the smith, now flinging down his sword, seized upon his right hand and wrenched the dagger from its grasp. After a short struggle, Oakley fell heavily on the pavement with the blood streaming from his mouth and nostrils. HoME萝拉泷泽第4部资源
