Davos 2026: Tech Leaders Discuss AI’s Risks, Opportunities, and Future
AI was already a major topic of discussion at Davos last year, with the launch of DeepSeek, a Chinese model that matched ChatGPT’s performance at a lower cost. This year, the conversation has broadened to focus on how the technology is being implemented, the risks it carries, and its impact on work and society. Here is what tech leaders have been saying.
Details:
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella urged leaders to focus on “doing something useful” with AI, stressing that real value comes from improving outcomes for people, industries, and countries, not just building advanced models.
Nadella warned that AI adoption will be uneven globally due to gaps in capital, infrastructure, and energy, arguing that access to power, grids, and telecom networks will largely determine which countries win the AI race.
He also criticized Europe’s inward-looking approach, saying competitiveness depends on producing AI-powered products that succeed globally.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said the next few years are critical as AI approaches human-level capabilities, warning that poor governance could lead to loss of control after AGI.
Amodei argued that restricting advanced AI chip sales to China is one of the most important steps to slow geopolitical rivals and buy time to manage AI risks, warning of “grave” consequences if the U.S. loses its AI lead.
On jobs, Amodei reiterated his view that AI could eliminate up to half of entry-level white-collar roles, noting early signs of disruption in software development, even if broader labor impacts are still limited.
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis struck a more optimistic tone, predicting that AI will create new, more meaningful jobs, even if internships and entry-level roles temporarily decline.
Hassabis advised students to focus on mastering AI tools rather than traditional internships, saying this could give them a multi-year advantage in the job market.
He warned that once AGI arrives (possibly within five to ten years) the job market will enter uncharted territory, raising questions about purpose and meaning beyond employment.
Hassabis also cautioned that geopolitical competition is pushing companies to rush safety standards, calling for international agreement on minimum AI safety rules to ensure the technology develops responsibly.
The Davos discussions highlight a growing split between urgency, caution, and optimism as AI moves from experimentation to shaping the global economy.

ANTHROPIC
Anthropic Study Finds AI Is Changing Jobs, Not Ending Them
A new study from Anthropic suggests AI is reshaping how people work rather than triggering a mass job collapse, with most use focused on assisting workers instead of fully replacing them.
Details:
The findings come from the latest edition of the Anthropic Economic Index, which analyzes AI's role in the job market and economy.
The report is based on an anonymized sample of 2 million real Claude conversations from last year, across both free and paid users.
Researchers found that AI is mostly taking over parts of jobs rather than entire roles. Nearly 49% of jobs now use AI for at least a quarter of their tasks, up from 36% in early 2025.
The study examined whether people were using AI to automate tasks completely or to collaborate with it while working. Results showed a near-even split between automation and augmentation, with a slight tilt toward augmentation.
Job impact varies by role, with some occupations seeing de-skilling as AI takes over routine tasks, while others experience upskilling as AI frees time for higher-value work.
Productivity gains are highest in complex tasks, but those same tasks still require strong human oversight and judgment.
While Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has warned that AI could eliminate a large share of entry-level white-collar jobs, the study itself presents a more gradual picture of change. AI is altering how work gets done, but the evidence so far points to evolution rather than a full-scale job apocalypse.
