Billionaire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is bullish about an AI future, but he advises all workers to follow one piece of advice to avoid being the technology’s latest victim.

Overview

  • Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could eliminate up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next one to five years in sectors such as finance, law and consulting.
  • He predicts U.S. unemployment may climb to between 10% and 20% if mitigation strategies are not implemented.
  • Amodei criticized industry leaders and the government for downplaying the scale of AI’s impact and called for greater transparency and public awareness.
  • Anthropic’s release of its new Claude 4 chatbot highlights the intensifying race among tech firms to deploy more powerful large language models.
  • Figures like Mark Cuban and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang counter that AI will also generate fresh employment opportunities and favor workers who adopt AI tools effectively.
