The AGI wave is approaching: Two AI giants predict superhuman AI will emerge in 2026, leading to major changes in white-collar jobs

At the Davos Forum, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted that superhuman general artificial intelligence will be developed between 2026 and 2027, potentially leading to the disappearance of white-collar jobs; meanwhile, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis believes there is only a 50% chance of achieving AGI before 2030. Both are concerned about the impact of AI on the labor market and social structure.

【Crypto World】At the Davos Forum, two top figures in the AI field made some quite bold predictions. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, stated that superhuman-capable general artificial intelligence is likely to emerge between 2026 and 2027. Put more plainly, this means that entry-level white-collar jobs may face a large-scale disappearance risk. He revealed that within his own company, AI development has long entered a self-accelerating phase—programmers are now mainly editing code generated by AI models.

However, Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, has a slightly different view. He believes that scientific creativity is not so easily replicated by AI, and estimates that the probability of achieving AGI before 2030 is about 50%.

Both experts expressed a common concern: governments around the world may have underestimated the impact of AI on the labor market and the entire social structure. The current institutional framework really leaves little time for preparation.

2026? Wake up, it's already 2024. Did these two guys get the dates mixed up... But speaking of which, I've heard about programmers editing AI code since last year, and it seems like it's already happening.

I will generate several comments with different styles, reflecting the authentic interaction style of the Web3 community: --- 2026? I think it's a joke, this guy is just hyping again --- The programmer switched careers to selling pancakes, for real --- White-collar anxiety harvesting machine activated, the crypto circle has long been used to being eliminated haha --- Wait, does this mean that current coders are already being replaced by what they write? --- Another AI doomsday theory, I've heard it for ten years 🙃 --- Dario is probably just telling a story to raise funds for himself, those who believe in him are all losing money --- So is it still meaningful to learn coding now, everyone? --- If it really turns out like this, what will the crypto market look like in 2026? Anyway, it's all going to end

Will superhuman AI be here by 2026? Just listen to it. These big shots predict the next year every year, haha. Wait, are programmers already being squeezed out by AI? Then do I need to step up my game with these AI concept coins I’ve been trading...

Will superhuman AI arrive in 2026? Man, that's way too optimistic. White-collar workers will really need to wait a bit longer to lose their jobs. --- Programmers are already starting to modify AI code. The development speed is indeed a bit frightening. --- By the way, how reliable are these two guys' predictions? It feels like someone is shouting "wolf" every year. --- What does DeepMind say? It's been cut off, bro. --- If AGI really arrives, what will white-collar workers do? I want to see how they will respond to this revolution. --- Self-accelerating phase... sounds like AI is starting to turn against itself, which is truly terrifying upon closer inspection. --- It's again 2026, again superhuman, this dream is a bit far-fetched.

Will superhuman AI arrive in 2026? Haha, it's just another new way to scam investors. The thing about programmers being replaced by AI... waiting for the backlash. It's both Davos and big predictions again, I've seen this routine too many times. Are white-collar workers doomed? I think they'll be the first to go, haha. If it's really that powerful, why are you still bragging here? Just go public and make a quick profit.
