The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, has doubled its warning that artificial intelligence could soon cause mass unemployment, even if the current abilities of technology are lagging behind many forecasts.
Amodei, who runs one of the best AI laboratories in the world, warned that technology is progressing “very quickly” and has already started replacing jobs at the AI + DC of Axios on Wednesday.
“This already happens,” said Amodei.
Amodei’s comments come as recent data indicate a Labor market that weakens faster than expected. The unemployment rate reached a three -year summit last month, and the economy adds relatively few jobs compared to the last years. It is not clear if the slowdown in the labor market is linked to AI technology.
In many cases, AI remains more on its promise than its current yields. Apple, for example, noted that an SIRI assistant powered by AI was not up to its quality standards, and in several cases, the use of AI chatbots was linked to mental health spirals.
This is not the first time that Amodei has sounded the alarm on the potential of the AI to eliminate the work. In May, Amodei warned The fact that the tools of AI that anthropogenic companies and other companies run to building could eliminate half of the entry -level and white and booster work Unemployment 20% in the coming at five years.
“When an exponential moves very quickly, you cannot be sure.
“But I think it is enough to happen so that we thought he needed to warn the world,” he added.
Amodei also suggested that the government should intervene and help people adapt to the AI revolution, perhaps by taxing the gains of AI societies.
Some criticisms suggested The fact that repeated AMODEI warnings sometimes serve more in BURNISH its image as responsible leader in the field or to raise the position of the market for its technology.
But Amodei discussed Wednesday that many people underestimate the AI.
“I think there is a little disconnection here, where people will sometimes say:” Oh, you worry about what AI will do for jobs, but I can’t do this, I can’t do this “,” he said. “Well, we are talking about today’s AI. Technology is playing quickly.”
