Anthropic CFO says AI isn't replacing workers. It's changing what they do all day.

Anthropic CFO Krishna Rao says AI now writes 90% of the company's code — and it's changing what white-collar workers do all day.

Rao, on an episode of Patrick O'Shaughnessy's "Invest Like the Best" podcast published Wednesday, described a workplace inside Anthropic where AI systems increasingly handle the execution layer of knowledge work — from software engineering to financial reporting — while humans shift toward oversight, judgment, and strategy.

"We've hired a lot more people because of that," Rao said, adding that he sees Claude as a productivity "accelerant."

"That actually means that we can get a lot more done, and that even as we grow the team, those people are more productive as they come up the curve on how to use Claude within our company. And I think that's starting to be true across many companies as well. "

The comments offer a glimpse into how one of Silicon Valley's leading AI companies believes artificial intelligence will reshape white-collar jobs: not necessarily by eliminating workers outright, but by automating large portions of their day-to-day tasks and turning employees into supervisors of AI systems.
