Which jobs are at risk from Anthropic AI?
Many companies hire people to run their browsers smoothly. These include-
- Junior Security Analyst: Their job is to scan the basic code and find all the shortcomings. Anthropic’s AI did this work for 4 thousand dollars i.e. about 3.5 lakh rupees.
- Manual Quality Assurance, Bug Testers: They run the app and software repeatedly to check that it is not crashing. In the present case, the AI generated more than 50 crashing inputs, which is a tiring task for a human.
- Bug Bounty Hunters: Their job is to detect security flaws. AI can do this work 24 hours.
- Basic Code Reviewers: Their job is to fix mistakes in the code.
What will people do if AI does everything?
The question is arising that what will people do if AI does all the work. There is also concern that people may lose their jobs. However, such cases have not come yet. In the near future, it may be seen that people doing these jobs will have to work with AI. It remains to be seen whether companies will be completely dependent on AI or whether humans and AI will work together.
