Jim Farley, CEO of Ford, estimated that it [AI] would eliminate "literally half of all white collar workers" in a decade.

Dario Amodei, the CEO of the AI company Anthropic, said that AI could drive unemployment up 10 to 20 percent in the next one to five years and "wipe out half of all entry level white-collar jobs".
