Summary
The prediction was stark: artificial intelligence advancements would wipe out jobs en masse. “Half” of all entry-level white collar jobs would vanish, Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, said in May 2025. But a year later, the mass carnage hasn’t shown up. Even as AI capabilities have rapidly advanced and AI companies have hurtled towards trillion-dollar stock market debuts, economic transformation hasn’t kept pace, similar to previous tech revolutions, economists say. Despite the lack of mass job devastation, a shift is still under way: AI is changing the nature of work, with employers increasingly expecting job seekers to have AI skills. Data from a recent Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research analysis shows that AI hasn’t yet caused major job displacement.
