The head of Chatbot Claude has commented on the future of AI and wants to make it clear to everyone what is coming for humanity.
Who is the expert? While ChatGPT from OpenAI and Gemini from Google are among the most well-known AI assistants, there are other competitors in the industry. One of them is Claude, which has been trained to “provide safe and accurate answers”.
The development of Claude is closely linked to Dario Amodei. As a former Vice President of Research at OpenAI, he decided to leave ChatGPT and founded Anthropic to realize his own vision of an AI tool. Today, Claude is considered one of the most significant AI applications in the world (via golem.de).
In a recent interview with Axios, he discusses the future of artificial intelligence and how it can be dangerous for job seekers.
AI Threatens Entry-Level Jobs
What does the CEO have to say about the future of AI? In the interview, the CEO warns about the advancement of AI. As the head of a chatbot, he sees how quickly development is progressing and how artificial intelligence is improving.
He wants to stop sugar-coating development and clearly states that AI will become a threat to job seekers. In the areas of technology, finance, law, consulting, and other office jobs, AI could, in his opinion, take over half of entry-level jobs within 5 years.
This could lead to an increase in the unemployment rate to 10% to 20% in the USA. According to lbbw.de, it currently stands at 4.2%. Artificial intelligence could thus lead to a growth in the unemployment rate between 138% and 376% if the CEO’s predictions come true.
How can this be prevented? For the CEO, it is clear that the development of artificial intelligence cannot be stopped. The competition among countries in the global market is simply too great: “Even if progress in the USA were to be slowed down, China would continue to forge ahead,” says Amodei in an interview with Axios.
He further explains: “You can’t just stand in front of the train and stop it […] The only thing that works is to steer the train – to steer it 10 degrees in a different direction than it was going before. That is feasible. That is possible, but we need to do it now.”
He holds society accountable and explains that everyone should now start working with artificial intelligence and learn how to use it. But government education is also required, believes the CEO.
The CEO also mentions an AI tax, which should add an additional 3% tax on any product where AI is used for any task. This could help to finance transformation processes, even though this tax would not be in the economic interest of the CEO.
The CEO firmly believes that AI can be a revolution in the job market. But what if artificial intelligence no longer listens to humans? This scenario has already occurred: Researchers have just proven that AI does not fully obey anymore: ChatGPT prevents its own shutdown to continue working
