According to Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, if we do not act with vision and strategy regarding AI regulations, we could face a 20% structural job loss in the coming years.

Not due to economic crisis.

Not due to pandemic.

But due to the massive adoption of generative AI in offices, companies… and governments.

This has already started: and it is not science fiction.

Many companies are already replacing human staff with software.

• Administrative assistants
• Writers and journalists
• Financial analysts
• Customer service personnel

All are being replaced by models like Claude or GPT, which draft reports, process data, and assist customers more efficiently —and at a lower cost— than a human.

We are not talking about futuristic robots.

We are talking about invisible code, installed on desks and servers, making decisions every day.

The uncomfortable silence

“Political leaders are avoiding this conversation. There is no real awareness of what is coming.”

— Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic

Governments are not acting with the urgency that this requires.

Companies, instead of investing in talent, adopt a cold logic:

if AI does it cheaper… go ahead.

The result: risk of a massive, silent, but deep labor crisis.

Where is the conversion plan?

This is where we are failing.

To say that “AI is just a tool” is no longer enough.

If that were true, we would already see:

• National reskilling programs
• Educational reforms in universities
• Corporate labor transformation plans

But no.

Neither the public nor the private sector is doing enough.

And time is running out.

McKinsey confirms it: disruption already has a date

According to a study by McKinsey & Company, up to 800 million jobs will disappear by 2030 due to automation and AI.

In advanced countries, between 20% and 25% of the workforce will have to completely reinvent itself.

And we are not talking about laborers or delivery people.

We are talking about lawyers, accountants, designers, analysts, communicators.

The future of work is being rewritten… without us.

Are we prepared?

AI will not wait for us to come to an agreement.

This is not a simple technological revolution.

It is a total reconfiguration of the concept of work.

The question is not if it will happen.

It is when.

And, above all:

What are we doing TODAY to ensure it does not run us over?

Conclusion: It is not time for panic. It is time for policies.

AI can be an ally for jobs

But without a human strategy… it will be a threat.

It is time to act:

• Rethink education
• Reform labor models
• Prioritize digital adaptation policies
• Invest in talent… before blind automation

Because if we do not design the future of work,

others will do it for us.

And they may not do it with everyone in mind.

What would you do if your job were among the first to disappear?

Leave me your thoughts in the comments. This is not a technology issue.

It is an issue of labor justice and collective future.
