Amodei stated at Davos in January 2026 that Anthropic expects to need fewer junior and intermediate staff as Claude writes 90% of code
At the World Economic Forum in Davos (January 2026), Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei disclosed that Claude AI now writes over 90% of code for new Claude models and features autonomously. He stated: 'I can see it within Anthropic, where I can look forward to a time where on the more junior end and then on the more intermediate end we actually need less and not more people.' Amodei revealed some Anthropic engineers have stopped writing code entirely: 'I have engineers within Anthropic who say I don't write any code anymore. I just let the model write the code, I edit it.' Engineering lead Felix Rieseberg confirmed Claude AI produced virtually the entire Cowork macOS agent codebase during a ten-day sprint. Amodei separately predicted that within 1-5 years, half of all entry-level white-collar jobs will be gone.
