[SPEAKER_00]: This is a news.com newsflash. [SPEAKER_00]: News.com has learned that Clark made the remarks during a televised conversation about AI's implications for employment. [SPEAKER_00]: Dario Amade, CEO of Anthropi, one of the world's most powerful AI creators, warned that the technology could wipe out half of all intramural white-colored jobs and spike unemployment to tens of twenty percent in the next one to five years.

[SPEAKER_00]: Amade said he's speaking out in hopes of drawing government and fellow AI companies into preparing, and protecting the nation, reports have noted. [SPEAKER_00]: It has been reported that major companies are already slowing early for your hiring, and economists have observed the notable decline in junior roles across sectors like technology, finance, law, consulting and other white collar professions.

[SPEAKER_00]: A niche ramen, LinkedIn's chief economic opportunity officer, also noted that AI is increasingly threatening the types of jobs that historically have served as stepping stones for young workers who are just beginning their careers, according to reports. [SPEAKER_00]: For instance, AI tools can be used for simple coding and debugging tasks that junior software developers perform in an entry-level position.

[SPEAKER_00]: It has been reported that lawmakers have yet to completely grasp the dangers AI reportedly poses to early career employment. [SPEAKER_00]: On the other hand, CEOs are afraid to talk about it because using an AI tool instead of hiring a young person from the job market is more cost effective. [SPEAKER_00]: Almost overnight, business leaders see the savings of replacing humans with AI and do this on Max.

[SPEAKER_00]: They stop opening up new jobs, stop back filling existing ones, and then replace human workers with agents or related automated alternatives, reports of one. [SPEAKER_00]: While President Donald Trump has been quiet on the job risks posed by AI, Steve Bannon predicted on his war room podcast that AI job killing will be a major issue in the twenty twenty eight presidential campaign.

[SPEAKER_00]: Anthropics CEO Amide also commented on how oblivious the workforce is to the reportedly impending job apocalypse, saying, most of them are unaware that this is about to happen. [SPEAKER_00]: It sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it. [SPEAKER_00]: During the conversation, Carp said that the kind of AI that Palantir is doing can be net-accretive to the workforce in America, but only if we work very, very hard.

[SPEAKER_00]: However, he also added that the industry has to ensure that AI has an overall additive effect. [SPEAKER_00]: We have to will it to be, because otherwise we're going to have deep societal upheavals that I think many in our elite are just really ignoring. [SPEAKER_00]: Carpset. [SPEAKER_00]: Those of us in tech cannot have a tenure to what this is going to mean for the average person. [SPEAKER_00]: Knowledge, Knowledge, Unfilter.
