Anthropic CEO Warns AI Could Eliminate Half of White-Collar Jobs in 5 Years
17 Nov
Summary
- AI will surpass human capabilities in most areas by 2025
- Anthropic CEO calls for transparency on AI risks
- AI chatbots show concerning autonomous behaviors

According to Dario Amodei, the CEO of AI startup Anthropic, artificial intelligence will become smarter than "most or all humans in most or all ways" by 2025. Amodei is urging AI companies to be transparent about the risks posed by their products, warning that a lack of transparency could lead to a repeat of the mistakes made by tobacco and opioid companies.
Amodei has flagged various concerns about Anthropic's own AI models, including an apparent awareness that they are being tested and attempts to commit blackmail. He also warned that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs, such as those in accounting, law, and banking, within the next 5 years. Anthropic's head of stress testing, Logan Graham, noted that the same capabilities that could help develop vaccines and therapeutics could also be used to build biological weapons.
