Hard Fork · The Ezra Klein Show: How Fast Will A.I. Agents Rip Through the Economy? · 27 Mar 2026 podcast

And ones that don't may end up having to make like really, really hard decisions involving laying off workers.

The difference with this AI stuff is it maybe happens a lot faster than previous technologies.

I think many of the anxieties people might have about this, including at Anthropic, is the speed of this going to make all of this different?

Does it introduce sheer points that we haven't encountered before?

I would guess it is higher, but not by much.

And what I mean by that is there will be some disciplines today which actually AI has come in and completely changed and completely changed the structure of that employment market, maybe in a way that's adverse to people that have that specialism.

But mostly, I think three years from now, AI will have driven a pretty tremendous growth in the entire economy.

And so you're going to see lots of new types of jobs that show up as a consequence of this that we can't yet predict.

And you will see graduates kind of flood into that, I expect.

I mean, one thing is just the phenomenon of the kind of micro entrepreneur.

I mean, there are lots and lots of ways that you can start businesses online now, which are just made massively easier by having the AI systems do it for you.

And you don't need to hire a whole load of people to help you do the huge amount of schlep work that involves getting a business off the ground.

It's more a case of if you're a person with a clear idea and a clear vision of something to do a business in, it's now the best time ever to start a business and you can get up and running online.

for pennies on the dollar.

I expect we'll see tons and tons and tons of stuff that has that nature to it.

I also expect that we're going to see the emergence of what you might think of as the AI to AI economy, where AI agents and AI businesses will be doing business with one another.

And we'll have people that have figured out ways to basically profit off of that in the forms of strange new organizations.

Like what would it look like to have a firm which specializes in AI to AI legal contracts?

Because I bet you there's a way that you can figure out creative ways to start that business today.

There'll be a lot of stuff of that flavor.
