Anthropic CEO Warns Emergence of AGI Will Lead to Mass Job Cuts

2 min read
  • The CEO of Anthropic has stated that human-level AI could emerge within the next five years.
  • The heads of Anthropic and Google DeepMind believe that entry-level office jobs will be the first to be affected.
  • The companies warn that governments are underestimating the speed and scale of the coming changes.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that artificial intelligence could surpass humans in most tasks in the coming years. In his opinion, this will create serious risks for labor markets and social institutions.

Speaking at a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Amodei noted that the timeline for the emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is shrinking. At the same time, the window for adapting public policy is quickly closing, the expert believes.

According to him, AI systems could reach or exceed human levels within the next five years. Amodei stressed that he finds it difficult to imagine a scenario in which this process would take decades.

He cited the use of AI to automate its development as one of the factors accelerating this process. At Anthropic, he said, engineers are increasingly moving from writing code to editing the results generated by models.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis expressed a more cautious position. He noted that automation is easier in programming and mathematics than in the natural sciences, where results require experimental verification.

At the same time, Hassabis estimated the probability of AGI appearing by 2030 at approximately 50%. The expert pointed to the gap between the growth of computing power and the ability of AI to create fundamentally new theories.

Both leaders agreed that entry-level office workers will be the first to feel the impact. Amodey previously predicted that up to half of such positions could disappear within five years.

The participants in the discussion identified the key risk as the unpreparedness of states for rapid economic and social change. According to Amodey, in the absence of coordinated action, the speed of AI development could lead to systemic failures.

We previously reported that the head of Anthropic called the export of Nvidia chips to China “analogous to the supply of nuclear weapons.”

ABC Also Pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s Predecessor After Controversial Comments

The post ABC Also Pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s Predecessor After Controversial Comments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jimmy Kimmel (Photo by Media Access Awards Presented By Easterseals/Getty Images for Easterseals) Getty Images for Easterseals The shock decision by ABC to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely” after the late-night host’s remarks about the killing of Charlie Kirk has created a rare moment in modern TV media: A major show abruptly taken off the air, with its network forced into crisis-management mode. Rare, that is, but not unprecedented. What might go unnoticed by many people reacting to the news about Kimmel and his potential cancellation is that this is not the first time ABC has made such a move. In fact, a version of the same thing happened to Kimmel’s predecessor program — Bill Maher’s Politically Incorrect, which once had Kimmel’s slot and which ABC cancelled in the wake of a firestorm around comments Maher made in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. (Notice, by the way, that I said cancelled “in the wake of” and not “because of.” More on that in a moment.) Here’s what happened: Less than a week after 9/11, Maher and a panel were talking about then-President George W. Bush’s use of the word “cowards” to describe the hijackers. “We have been the cowards,” Maher interjected, referencing the practice of “lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly.” But Maher then went even farther over the line: Actually staying in an airplane as it hits a building? “Not cowardly.” You can read more about the ensuing uproar in this ABC news story from 2001, which includes a statement that Maher issued through his publicist: “In no way was I intending to say, nor have I ever thought, that the men and women who defend our nation in uniform are anything but courageous and valiant, and I offer my apologies to…
