Anthropic CEO Predicts Software Engineering Obsolescence

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned at the World Economic Forum in Davos that AI could render software engineering effectively obsolete within the next 12 months, saying engineers now rely on Opus to generate most code. Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu reiterated the warning on Feb. 7, 2026, urging attention given Anthropic's advanced coding tools. Amodei said broader job losses across industries may follow.
