Exclusive: AI's ability to displace jobs is advancing quickly, Anthropic CEO says

• The speed of that displacement could require government intervention to help support the workforce, executives said.

What they're saying: "As with most things, when an exponential is moving very quickly, you can't be sure," Amodei said. "I think it is likely enough to happen that we felt there was a need to warn the world about it and to speak honestly."

• Amodei said the government may need to step in and support people as AI quickly displaces human work.
• Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark, who oversees the company's policy operation, added "you need some kind of policy response at the scale of disruption we expect in the next five years."
