Why Yann LeCun says Anthropic’s Dario Amodei knows nothing about the impact of AI on jobs
Yann LeCun, Meta’s former chief AI scientist, often described as one of AI’s ‘godfathers’, has criticised AI CEOs and researchers for lacking expertise on how technological revolutions shape labour markets. In a series of posts, he argued that the public should instead rely on economists who have studied these dynamics for years.
It all started when Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned, in a recent TV interview, that rapid advances in AI could eliminate several entry-level white-collar jobs across tech, law, consulting, finance and other sectors within the next one to five years.
