Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) would take over a large number of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next one to five years, raising concerns about a possible employment crisis in sectors such as finance, consulting and technology.

Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Amodei said AI systems are advancing at a pace that many people, businesses and policymakers may be underestimating.

According to him, tasks traditionally assigned to junior employees, including summarising documents, brainstorming ideas and preparing financial reports, are increasingly within the capabilities of modern AI systems.
