According to Anthropic (@AnthropicAI), Claude's strong ability to automate higher-skill tasks could lead to a 'deskilling' effect, where workers are left with more routine, less complex work. This trend underscores the importance for businesses to rethink job design and workforce development strategies, as AI automation changes the allocation of skilled versus routine tasks. While Anthropic notes that the long-term evolution of jobs remains uncertain, companies should prepare for shifts in required skill sets and explore opportunities for upskilling and job enrichment as advanced AI systems become integrated into workflows (source: Anthropic, Jan 15, 2026).
