The CEO of the company that builds AI just told the world: customer service will be gone in 24 months. And the room applauded.
I was at that AI Summit. Four hours. Efficiency, automation, scale, disruption.
Not once did anyone ask: what happens to the customer?
That silence is not a gap in the agenda.
That silence is the problem.
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic: Half of entry-level white-collar jobs — including customer service — will vanish in 24 months.
He's right. But precise about what: the transaction disappears. The connection doesn't.
Scarcity creates value. Genuine human connection is about to become the scarcest thing in business.
