Jensen Huang responds to Anthropic CEO's warning that AI will cut half of white-collar jobs

Jensen Huang counters Anthropic's Dario Amodei's AI job loss forecast with stark disagreements on AI's impact on employment.

: Nvidia's Jensen Huang disagrees with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's grim forecast that AI will destroy half of white-collar jobs within five years. He argues that AI should be developed safely and responsibly in the open, rather than claimed as exclusive by any single company. Huang criticizes Amodei's view of AI's expensiveness and power, implying that it leads to fear-driven monopolistic claims by Anthropic. Despite Huang's optimism about new AI-related jobs, Amodei maintains concerns about significant job losses and advocates for AI transparency and ethical standards.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang challenged Anthropic's Dario Amodei’s caution about AI's effect on white-collar employment. At the VivaTech event in Paris, Huang expressed skepticism about Amodei's warnings that AI advancements may soon erase half of such jobs. He suggests that Amodei's stance implies AI development should remain exclusive to companies like Anthropic, which Huang finds problematic.

Huang elaborated on his disagreements by pointing to the need for open and transparent AI advancement that involves broad participation rather than secretive processes. He underscored the necessity to handle AI with care to prevent monopolistic control that supposedly claims only a handful of firms can develop AI safely.

Anthropic has drawn attention both for its safety-focused approach and controversies like the legal case with Reddit over alleged content scraping. Despite past affiliations with OpenAI, Anthropic now faces scrutiny regarding its AI training methods and data use policies. This reinforces the increasing demands from industry leaders and policymakers for regulation and transparency.
