The AI jobs apocalypse, long predicted by tech leaders and AI critics alike, has never felt closer<\/a>. A major job market disruption has been rumored for years now, but given the latest swings on Wall Street and major layoffs roiling the tech industry<\/a>, the alarm bells are starting to go off.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s looking likely that not every profession will be hit in the same way, nor to the same extent \u2014 a topic that frontier AI companies have been studying intensely<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last week, while the company\u2019s CEO was engaged in a major fight with the Pentagon<\/a>, Anthropic released its latest findings<\/a> about the \u201clabor market impacts of AI.\u201d The company found that while \u201cAI is far from reaching its theoretical capability\u201d and \u201cactual coverage remains a fraction of what\u2019s feasible,\u201d many occupations are at higher risk of \u201cAI displacement.\u201d<\/p>\n

By taking into consideration \u201ctheoretical [large language model] capability and real-world usage data,\u201d the team concluded that computer programmers, customer service reps, data entry keyers, medical record specialists, and market research analysts were at the highest risk since they were the \u201cmost exposed\u201d to AI\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n

Other affected occupations include investment analysts, software quality assurance, and information security analysts, as well as computer user support specialists.<\/p>\n

Anthropic found that workers in these most exposed professions are \u201cmore likely to be older, female, more educated, and higher-paid,\u201d highlighting gaps around gender, education, and more as the effects of AI on the job market come into focus.<\/p>\n

The finding echoes previous research that similarly found<\/a> women-dominated occupations are more vulnerable to AI disruption in the workforce.<\/p>\n

On the other end of the spectrum, the least exposed categories include professions that rely on a physical presence, and include cooks, mechanics, lifeguards, bartenders, dishwashers, and dressing room attendants, according to Anthropic \u2014 noble careers, but not ones known for paying particularly well.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>here\u2019s nothing particularly new about the conclusion that programmers are far more at risk from being made redundant by AI tech. Silicon Valley titans have been laying off thousands of workers as they continue to double down on their sizable investments in data centers.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Twitter founder and Block CEO Jack Dorsey laid off nearly half the staff at his fintech company<\/a>, citing \u201cintelligence tools we\u2019re creating\u201d that are allowing for \u201csmaller and flatter teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the next year, I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes,\u201d Dorsey wrote in a statement on X-formerly-Twitter<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

But how much advancements in AI tech are really<\/em> contributing to the layoffs remains a subject of heated debate. Former Block employees, for instance, have come forward to claim that the Dorsey-led layoffs<\/a> were more likely an instance of \u201ccorporate downsizing\u201d after a rash of pandemic-era overhiring.<\/p>\n

As Anthropic itself admits, we are still nowhere near AI\u2019s \u201ctheoretical capability,\u201d meaning the wave of job losses may not be due to AI automation. Then there\u2019s all of the noise that could make it extremely difficult to gauge how many jobs were actually lost to AI or due to other, unrelated factors, like rising geopolitical instability, for instance, triggering economic uncertainty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the company\u2019s foreboding forecast highlights a rapidly changing labor landscape as colleges and universities face an existential threat<\/a>, undermining the value of degrees. Computer science and computer engineering students, in particular, could be in deep trouble<\/a> as employers continue to double down on AI.<\/p>\n

Instead, according to Anthropic\u2019s analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data, they\u2019d be better served becoming electricians, registered nurses, lawyers, and accountants \u2014 the occupations expected to grow the most between 2024 and 2034.<\/p>\n
