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.”

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
