AI predominantly employed by businesses for work automation: Anthropic report
Anthropic, a leading firm in the AI industry and OpenAI's rival, has released a report highlighting the potential risks of increased AI usage in the workforce. The report, released on Monday, was based on an analysis of traffic from Anthropic's application programming interface.
According to the report, Anthropic's artificial intelligence software, Claude AI, is predominantly used by businesses for automation, with 77% of usage focusing on this area. The report states that automation patterns often include full task delegation in the usage of Claude AI, particularly for administrative tasks and coding.
Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, has previously predicted that AI could wipe out 50% of entry-level jobs. However, Sarah Heck, Anthropic's head of external affairs, was careful to note that the report shows something new is happening, but did not confirm or deny Amodei's prediction.
Peter McCrory, head of economics at Anthropic, stated that the increase in automation could be due to new model capabilities or people becoming more comfortable with large language models. The report from Anthropic also highlights the risk of potential mass layoffs and worker displacement due to the increased use of AI, as well as the risk of upending livelihoods.
Anthropic, a firm that sells AI tools to companies for tasks such as software development, research, and writing, has also released more sophisticated tools that can write and debug code on a user's behalf. These tools, along with Claude AI, are making it easier for businesses to automate tasks, potentially leading to job displacement.
It's important to note that the person who has presented particularly bleak prospects for workers regarding AI-driven mass layoffs in recent months is not explicitly named in the provided search results. However, the report from Anthropic serves as a reminder of the potential impact of AI on the workforce and the need for careful consideration and planning as AI continues to develop and become more integrated into our daily lives.
