How many people may be made jobless by the AI? Goldman Sachs warns dire consequences

AI's rapid use has steadily reshaped employment across many industries, prompting companies to restructure their workforces, leading to large?scale layoffs and job displacement. By early 2025, more than 14 million jobs worldwide had been lost directly to AI?driven technologies. It is being predicted that up to 800 million roles could be at risk by 2030. Tech giants Microsoft, Amazon, and Google together cut about 49,000 positions since 2023 due to AI efficiency gains. Not only IT, across other sectors like Manufacturing & logistics, Retail & customer service, AI-automation has also displaced several jobs, leading to a rise in mental?health claims among displaced workers. Amid this, a new report by Goldman Sachs suggests that the machine-led disruption could be far-reaching.

Anthropic launches Claude Cowork, a version of its coding AI for regular people

If you follow Anthropic, you're probably familiar with Claude Code. Since the fall of 2024 , the company has been training its AI models to use and navigate computers like a human would, and the coding agent has been the most practical expression of that work, giving developers a way to automate rote programming tasks. Starting today, Anthropic is giving regular people a way to take advantage of those capabilities, with the release of a new preview feature called Claude Cowork . The company is billing Cowork as a simpler way for anyone not just developers to work with Claude. After you give the system access to a folder on your computer, it can read, edit or create new files in that folder on your behalf. Anthropic gives a few different example use cases for Cowork. For instance, you could ask Claude to organize your downloads folder, telling it to rename the files contained within to something that's easier to parse at a glance. Another example: you could use Claude to turn screenshots of receipts and invoices into a spreadsheet for tracking expenses. Cowork can also navigate websites provided you install Claudes Chrome plugin and make can use Anthropic's Connectors framework to access third-party apps like Canva. Cowork is designed to make using Claude for new work as simple as possible. You dont need to keep manually providing context or converting Claudes outputs into the right format, the company said. Nor do you have to wait for Claude to finish before offering further ideas or feedback: you can queue up tasks and let Claude work through them in parallel. If the idea of granting Claude access to your computer sounds ill-advised, Anthropic says Claude cant read or edit anything you dont give it explicit access to. However, the company does note the system can take potentially destructive actions, such as deleting a file that is important to you or misinterpreting your instructions. For that reason, Anthropic suggests it's best to give very clear guidance to Claude. Anthropic isnt the first to offer a computer agent. Microsoft, for example, has been pushing Copilot hard for nearly three years, despite seemingly limited adoption . For Anthropic, the challenge will be convincing people these tools are useful where others have failed. The fact Claude Code has been universally loved by programmers may make that task easier. Anthropic briefly made Cowork preview only available to users of its pricey Claude Max subscription. That changed on Friday when the company expanded access to include customers of its $20 per month Pro plan. If you want to try Cowork for yourself, you'll need a Mac with the Claude macOS app installed. Update 01/16/26 2:30PM ET : Updated to reflect Claude Cowork is now also available to Claude Pro customers.

WPL 2026: Different People Keep Standing Up, Which Is A Huge Positive, Says Devine On Gujarat Giants' Performance

The Ashleigh Gardner: Gujarat Giants' all-rounder Sophie Devine admitted her side had fallen short in the field in their narrow loss to defending champions Mumbai Indians, but has drawn encouragement from the fact that different people are standing up to perform for the side, which she thinks is a huge positive. The Ashleigh Gardner-led Gujarat Giants, who have four points currently, are seeking a win after suffering their first defeat of the season to MI. It was probably one of those games where we certainly werent at our best, particularly in the field. But to think that we pushed the Mumbai Indians so closely and nearly snuck across the line again in that final over, there are still plenty of positives, said Sophie in a chat with the broadcasters, ahead of the clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the DY Patil Stadium here on Friday. I think the batting has been outstanding. We actually spoke about it post-game - weve been able to score big totals, but theyve all come in slightly different ways. Weve had real strengths in different phases, and different people keep standing up, which is a huge positive, she added. She also said the challenge of containing opposition line-ups on high-scoring surfaces is huge, but added that GG were building confidence within the group. With the ball, we know its always going to be tough on these kinds of wickets, quick outfield and short boundaries. So weve got to keep finding ways to restrict teams. It would be nice to have an easier game, but we know thats not going to be the case against RCB tonight. It really grows confidence within the group, she added. Devine singled out Anushka Sharmas composure at number three in the opening match as a boost to the squad and spoke of the enjoyment of opening the batting alongside Australia batter Beth Mooney. Even in the first game, the way Anushka went out there at No.3, it gives other players confidence that theyre good enough to be here and can perform at this level by backing their strengths. Im really enjoying batting with Moons (Mooney) again. Ive played a lot of cricket with her at the Perth Scorchers, and having someone at the other end youre really familiar with brings a lot of confidence and calmness to my game, she said. Devine singled out Anushka Sharmas composure at number three in the opening match as a boost to the squad and spoke of the enjoyment of opening the batting alongside Australia batter Beth Mooney.
