And then you like dig into what the model actually does and it has failed in sort of unexpected or unusual ways.

And so that's like the type of assessment that we've built.

Can you be attentive to the very specific decisions that need to be made along the way that are very consequential for the validity and veracity of the results that you find?

Yeah.

So I think what, again, what makes it really challenging is we've had the largest non-recessionary labor market slowdown on record that, you know, it's very hard for young people to graduate into a labor market that doesn't have sufficient churn or opportunity for them to get a foothold.

But one of the things that we did see in this report from March was that young workers in these high AI exposed roles where cloud is being used to automate specific tasks have had somewhat weaker job finding rates.

Exactly.

And there's a recent paper about the rise of remote work maybe being sort of the actual cause of this type of fact.

Another team at the Anthropic Institute, Societal Impacts, recently ran this very large scale qualitative survey, 81,000 people around the world, asking them questions about hopes and fears that they have with respect to AI.

Unsurprisingly, concerns about

the impact on the labor market and on the economy rose to the surface.

My team dug into those data a little bit more to try to answer some of these specific questions.

And what you see is that young workers at least express concern about job loss at twice the rate as do more senior workers.

And fears about job loss more broadly are more elevated for workers who are in these roles that we identify as being most exposed to displacement effects

So there's a bit of a gap between perception and maybe what you see in the hard data.

But, you know, that was something that was true even in recent years on other dimensions.

So it's an important thing to pay attention to.

Yeah.

So I think the tension that you express is exactly the one that I don't have a strong handle on at the moment.

One thing that we do see in our data is when businesses do embed cloud capabilities in automated ways through the API,
