‘AI could displace jobs at a massive scale’: Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah warns
Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah has just issued a warning that artificial intelligence could replace human workers on a massive scale if governments and societies fail to prepare for the technology’s rapid growth. Speaking at the Vatican during an event focused on the ethical impact of AI, Olah described the current phase of AI development as “a scary moment” because of how quickly the technology is advancing.
The discussion took place during the presentation of Pope Leo XIV’s first AI-focused encyclical, where technology leaders and religious representatives discussed the future risks and responsibilities linked to artificial intelligence.
