\"Anthropic Anthropic\u2019s chief financial officer Krishna Rao says artificial intelligence now writes 90% of the company\u2019s code, but still the AI giant is hiring more people than ever. According to a report by Business Insider, speaking on Patrick O\u2019Shaughnessy\u2019s Invest Like the Best podcast, Rao explained how AI is transforming white-collar work inside one of Silicon Valley\u2019s leading AI companies. Rao said Anthropic\u2019s AI systems, including the Claude Code can now handle most of the execution layer of knowledge work ranging from software engineering to financial reporting while the humans now focus on oversight, judgement and strategy. \u201cWe\u2019ve hired a lot more people because of that,\u201d he explained, calling Claude a productivity \u201caccelerant\u201d that enables teams to accomplish more as they learn to integrate AI into their workflows.<\/p>\n

Inside Anthropic\u2019s AI-driven workplace<\/p>\n

As per Rao, more than 90% of Anthropic\u2019s code is written by Claude Code, and the company\u2019s finance team also uses AI to produce financial statements that \u201c90 to 95% ready\u201d before human review. Reports that once took hours now take about 30 minutes. \u201cIt\u2019s accentuating and accelerating the talent we already have,\u201d Rao said, emphasising that Anthropic values \u201ctalent density\u201d, a smaller, highly skilled workforce empowered by AI tools.<\/p>\n

The changing nature of white-collar work <\/p>\n

The comments made by Rao offer a glimpse into how AI is reshaping while-collar jobs. Rather than replacing employees outright, AI is automating routine tasks and is also turning workers into supervisors of AI systems. \u201cEveryone kind of becomes a manager,\u201d Rao said, describing teams that deploy \u201cfleets of agents\u201d working across projects simultaneously.The approach of Anthropic is different from other companies that have used automation to justify layoffs. Rao argued that productivity gains from AI could actually lead to more hiring, since \u201cthere\u2019s no shortage of work to do.\u201d His remarks come amid a growing debate among economists and executives over whether AI will ultimately reduce or expand employment.<\/p>\n

Anthropic is hiring for a role that will be ‘the face of Anthropic’<\/p>\n

Recently, Anthropic announced that it is looking for a new kind of leader, an \u201cApplied AI Claude Evangelist.\u201d The role, described as \u2018the face of Anthropic\u2019, will be central to promoting its chatbot Claude among venture capitalist, startup founders, and accelerators. The Claude Evangelist will work directly with the startups to help them adopt Anthropic\u2019s products. Responsibilities include leading developer onboarding, creating demos and tutorials, and sharing feedback with internal teams. A significant part of the job involves live events, with one task being to \u201cdesign and run hands-on technical sessions that move developers from curiosity to active building within a single event.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthropic\u2019s chief financial officer Krishna Rao says artificial intelligence now writes 90% of the company\u2019s code, but still…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39677,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[17660,2992,53,2798,7992],"class_list":["post-39676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anthropic","tag-ai-in-software-development","tag-ai-productivity","tag-anthropic","tag-claude-code","tag-krishna-rao"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
