Anthropic cofounder says studying the humanities will be 'more important than ever' and reveals what the AI company looks for when hiring | Fortune
""I continue to believe that humans plus AI together actually create more meaningful work, more challenging work, more interesting work, high-productivity jobs," Amodei added. "And then I think it will also open the aperture to a lot of access and opportunity for many people." That doesn't mean the future employment landscape will require a technical background. Indeed, the release of Anthropic's latest AI-coding tools sparked a massive selloff among tech stocks this past week as the technical expertise needed to write and maintain code is expected to fall sharply."
""The things that make us human will become much more important instead of much less important," she told ABC News. "And what I mean by that is when we look to hire people at Anthropic today, we look for people who are great communicators, who have excellent EQ and people skills, who are kind and compassionate and curious and want to help other people.""
AI is expected to augment human labor rather than replace most jobs, with the number of roles AI can perform without human help described as vanishingly small. Humans working with AI can create more meaningful, challenging, interesting, and high-productivity jobs and expand access and opportunity. Demand for deep technical coding expertise is likely to decline as AI coding tools improve. Hiring priorities will favor communication, emotional intelligence, kindness, compassion, curiosity, and collaborative tendencies. Soft skills, critical thinking, and communication are predicted to become more valuable for young people entering the workforce.
