Anthropic, the maker of the AI chatbot Claude, says it has built an early warning system to track which U.S. jobs are most exposed to artificial intelligence — and its initial findings suggest many white-collar roles sit near the front lines.

The company's new research comes as fears mount that AI is taking work away from young job-seekers. Older white-collar workers are fretting about their long-term job security in the face of ever-capable generative AI tools and recent layoffs from corporations such as Amazon and Block that have cited AI. 

Anthropic's researchers tracked the gap between AI's capabilities and how the technology is actually being used by workers across professions. The analysis found "limited evidence that AI has affected employment to date."

Early fears that AI is responsible for rising joblessness among young college grads may also be overblown, the researchers said, noting only "suggestive evidence that hiring of younger workers has slowed in exposed occupations."

But despite the finding that AI has so far had little measurable impact on the labor market, the researchers said the technology could eventually have a seismic effect on many professions, from lawyers to sales reps.
