A new labour-market analysis from Anthropic argues that headline estimates of AI disruption may be overstating near-term real-world impact. The data suggests a wide gap between what large language models can theoretically do and how much work is actually being automated today. Still, occupations with higher observed AI coverage appear likely to see weaker employment growth over the coming decade, and while there is little evidence so far of a major effect on overall unemployment, there are early signs that hiring has slowed for younger workers in more AI-exposed roles.
