AI Displacement Threatens US Workforce Stability: Experts Warn of Up to 20% Unemployment by 2028
Published on 7.8.25
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is having a profound impact on the US job market, with major tech companies warning of significant job losses. According to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, up to 20% of Americans could be unemployed within five years due to AI displacement.
The impact is particularly felt by college graduates with white-collar jobs in tech, finance, law, and consulting, who are more likely to be unemployed than others. Ford CEO Jim Farley has warned that artificial intelligence will replace half of all white-collar workers in the US, while Amazon's Andy Jassy has expressed concerns about AI leading to job cuts.
Companies like Microsoft have already begun cutting jobs as they invest in AI development, with around 9,000 positions eliminated. Procter & Gamble is also announcing a 7,000-job cut, primarily affecting non-manufacturing roles. These job losses are expected to be far-reaching and affect various industries.
As companies prepare for a smaller corporate workforce due to AI, policymakers will need to address this issue and mitigate its impact on American workers.
