AI CEO Warns Robots Will Steal Your Entry-Level Job, Live Forever Instead
KEY POINTS
- •Dario Amodei, former OpenAI VP, co-founded Anthropic in 2021 with his sister and six others aiming for safer AI.
- •Amodei warns at 2024 NYT DealBook Summit that AI could eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs in five years.
- •Anthropic pursues cautious model growth, criticizing peers for reckless ‘yolo’ risk-taking amid ongoing AI arms race.
Dario Amodei, Anthropic's outspoken CEO and former OpenAI defector, casually predicts AI will erase half of entry-level white-collar jobs by 2030—because who doesn't want a robot stealing their first paycheck? Born in 1983 to a leatherworker dad from an Italian island and a library renovator mom in Silicon Valley's cradle, Dario marched through Caltech, Stanford, and Princeton before switching physics to biophysics after his dad died. He co-founded Anthropic with his sister Daniela and six ex-OpenAI pals, all roommates once, determined to build AI that won’t yolo-risk-catastrophe their way like some other big leagues (looking at you, Sam Altman). When not predicting doom, Dario daydreams that AI might unlock a 150-year lifespan—basically the Terminator going vegan. At December's NYT DealBook Summit in Paris, he hinted that while others hit 'code red' panics over ChatGPT quirks, his Anthropic team just quietly keeps on innovating and side-eyeing those reckless gamers. If Dario’s right, next decade's job market looks like a mix of Mad Max meets Silicon Valley with an AI twist.
