It shocked stock markets and went viral around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Citrini called it a \u201cthought exercise in financial history, from the future.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The authors describe how rapid AI adoption would lead to mass white-collar layoffs, triggering a deflationary spiral and perhaps even a systemic economic collapse. And while this apocalyptic scenario was denounced by most other AI, tech, financial and business experts as being unrealistic \u2014 with potential ulterior motives \u2014 leaders like  Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have doubled down on their predictions that mass layoffs are coming.<\/p>\n<p><span data-bsp-pv=\"4f8e492c-6f2f-390e-bc61-f176d3a37ab9\"\/><span data-bsp-pv=\"0000019d-b750-debb-a5dd-b754efde0000\"\/><br \/>Meanwhile, the app Resume Builder released a survey in February proclaiming that 57 percent of workers are now \u201cjob hugging,\u201d or clinging to their current jobs. Seventy percent fear being replaced by AI, and another 63 percent of respondents are worried about layoffs in the next six months.<\/p>\n<p>So what should organizations and cyber professionals be doing \u2014 and not doing \u2014 as AI is rolled out to more staff and incorporated into more processes?<\/p>\n<p>One negative example comes from The Plain Dealer, Cleveland\u2019s largest newspaper. According to sources, articles were drafted by artificial intelligence under the title \u201cAdvanced Local Express Desk.\u201d While the process included editors reviewing content before it was released, anonymous Plain Dealer journalists demonstrated that editorial quality and staff morale were harmed in the process. Critics also claimed that guardrails, such as thoroughly fact-checking and consistent editing, were often absent.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line was that the end product for clients got worse when AI agents replaced writers, akin to a restaurant watering down the soup.<\/p>\n<p>Even among those who disagree with Anthropic\u2019s Amodei about AI\u2019s job-killing future and the timelines for AI to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.govtech.com\/security\/how-to-upskill-for-cybersecurity-and-stay-ahead-in-the-age-of-ai\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Upskill for Cybersecurity and Stay Ahead in the Age of AI https:\/\/www.govtech.com\/security\/how-to-upskill-for-cybersecurity-and-stay-ahead-in-the-age-of-ai Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237915,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/erepublic.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/2063429\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5094x2476+0+112\/resize\/1440x700!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ferepublic-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Ffd%2F46%2F1862611f4cc281faf43877bd6f8d%2Fadobestock-1245464865.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57],"class_list":["post-237914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237914"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237914"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":237916,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237914\/revisions\/237916"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
