Anthropic CEO says AI will gut junior jobs by 2030

Anthropic’s Dario Amodei just doubled down on a stark warning: half of all entry-level white-collar roles could disappear within five years.

‍

- Most exposed fields: law, finance, consulting, and admin — where AI already handles “repetitive but variable” tasks.

- Who’s at risk: junior analysts, paralegals, and assistants may be cut first, while senior roles remain safer (for now).

- The forecast: unemployment spikes of 10–20% in some sectors as companies automate instead of hiring.

AI isn’t just climbing the corporate ladder — it’s kicking out the bottom rungs.
