Summary
Concerns about artificial intelligence primarily revolve around the potential for mass layoffs and increased income inequality, rather than speculation about an AI bubble, according to Steven Greenhouse in The Guardian. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years, potentially raising US unemployment to between 10% and 20%.
