Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns that AI-driven job losses are a structural inevitability, not a temporary pain. He predicts half of entry-level white-collar jobs could be affected within five years, with unemployment rising to 10-20%. He proposes short-term safeguards like salary protection and tax incentives, and long-term solutions including universal basic income funded by taxing AI companies. Tech leaders are shifting from warning to promoting benefit-sharing as several AI firms prepare for IPOs.
