Experts cast doubt on Anthropic report detailing how AI has altered work at the company
Anthropic claims AI will shift how work gets done and labor demand - but some experts are skeptical of the vision
L ast year, the Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, warned that artificial intelligence could eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs and that in six months it would be writing 90% of code . Neither of those predictions came to pass.
Now, in a report Anthropic published on Thursday, the company said it was hiring fewer junior technical workers and that human attention has become the new “bottleneck” as it increasingly relies on its Claude AI agents.
Anthropic says AI has changed the way work gets done, and as a result, restructured employment at the company. The report suggests its changes foreshadow the future of work more broadly: as more companies adopt AI agents, software engineers could face a tougher job market while entry-level tech workers struggle to build necessary skills and experience.
