Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang criticized Anthropic head Dario Amodei over his recent claims that 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs could be wiped out by artificial intelligence, causing unemployment to jump to 20% within the next five years. Huang disagreed with Amodei’s predictions when he was asked about it during VivaTech in Paris, where he said that he “pretty much disagree[s] with almost everything” the Anthropic CEO said, according to Fortune.
Amodei (and much of the rhetoric coming from Anthropic’s team) is much more pessimistic about the future with AI. Huang, clearly, is much more optimistic. But it seems like we need to be aware of these disputes within the industry and be sober about the possibilities. Amodei and Huang may both be right.
