Anthropic CEO : AI may cause millions of white-collar jobs, calls for tax on AI companies

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, recently sounded the alarm: AI is evolving rapidly: two years ago it was a smart high school student, now it's a top college student, and the future is even more immeasurable; Quantity of white-collar jobs: Entry-level white-collar jobs in finance, consulting, and tech, such as document summarization, brainstorming, and financial reporting, are bearing the brunt of AI's impact on the job market. ; crisis timeline: the next 1 to 5 years could see a huge impact of ai on the job market unemployment rate spike? Amodei is concerned that the unemployment rate could climb to 10%-20%. In the face of this potential crisis, Amodei and Anthropic have come up with some initial ideas to deal with it: first, "measuring" the impact: Anthropic has launched a tool called the "Economic Index", which is a tool to measure the impact of AI on the job market, and to measure the impact of AI on the economy. The first is to "measure" the impact: Anthropic has launched a tool called the "Economic Index", which seeks to track the speed and extent of AI's impact on the economy and jobs, and to steer it towards "augmenting rather than replacing": wherever possible, AI systems should be designed to supplement human work, rather than replacing it altogether. But he admits that this may only be a short-term solution Education and adaptation: helping workers learn how to use AI and improve their adaptability is very important Government intervention: this is the most central part. Amodei thinks governments need to think about how to act. He even made a controversial suggestion, "Find a way to level the economic playing field, such as ...... taxing their own AI companies."
