They\u2019ll be helpful assistants that will free workers from mundane drudgery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Of course, lines like those \u2014 which were often intended to reassure nervous workers and give cover to corporate automation plans \u2014 said more about the limitations of the technology than the motives of the executives. Back then, A.I. simply wasn\u2019t good enough to automate most jobs, and it certainly wasn\u2019t capable of replacing college-educated workers in white-collar industries like tech, consulting and finance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That is starting to change. Some of today\u2019s A.I. systems can write software, produce detailed research reports and solve complex math and science problems. Newer A.I. \u201cagents\u201d are capable of carrying out long sequences of tasks and checking their own work, the way a human would. And while these systems still fall short of humans in many areas, some experts are worried that a recent uptick in unemployment for college graduates is a sign that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/30\/technology\/ai-jobs-college-graduates.html\" title=\"\">companies are already using A.I.<\/a> as a substitute for some entry-level workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Thursday, I got a glimpse of a post-labor future at an event held in San Francisco by Mechanize, a new A.I. start-up that has an audacious goal of automating all jobs \u2014 yours, mine, those of our doctors and lawyers, the people who write our software and design our buildings and care for our children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOur goal is to fully automate work,\u201d said Tamay Besiroglu, 29, one of Mechanize\u2019s founders. \u201cWe want to get to a fully automated economy, and make that happen as fast as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The dream of full automation isn\u2019t new. John Maynard Keynes, the economist, predicted in the 1930s that machines would automate nearly all jobs, creating material abundance and leaving people free to pursue their passions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That never happened, of course. But recent advances in A.I. have reignited the belief that technology capable of mass labor automation is near. Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/05\/28\/ai-jobs-white-collar-unemployment-anthropic\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">recently warned<\/a> that A.I. could displace as many as half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the next five years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mechanize is one of a number of start-ups working to make that possible. The company was founded this year by Mr. Besiroglu, Ege Erdil and Matthew Barnett, who worked together at Epoch AI, a research firm that studies the capabilities of A.I. systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mechanize.work\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">attracted investments<\/a> from well-known tech leaders including Patrick Collison, a founder of Stripe, and Jeff Dean, Google\u2019s chief A.I. scientist. It now has five employees, and is working with leading A.I. companies. (It declined to say which ones, citing confidentiality agreements.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mechanize\u2019s approach to automating jobs using A.I. is focused on a technique known as reinforcement learning \u2014 the same method that was used to train a computer to play the board game Go at a superhuman level nearly a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Today, leading A.I. companies are using reinforcement learning to improve the outputs of their language models, by performing additional computation before they generate an answer. These models, often called \u201cthinking\u201d or \u201creasoning\u201d models, have gotten impressively good at some narrow tasks, such as writing code or solving math problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But most jobs involve doing more than one task. And today\u2019s best A.I. models still aren\u2019t reliable enough to handle more complicated workloads, or navigate complex corporate systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To fix that, Mechanize is creating new training environments for these models \u2014 essentially, elaborate tests that can be used to teach the models what to do in a given scenario, and judge whether they\u2019ve succeeded or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To automate software engineering, for example, Mechanize is building a training environment that resembles the computer a software engineer would use \u2014 a virtual machine outfitted with an email inbox, a Slack account, some coding tools and a web browser. An A.I. system is asked to accomplish a task using these tools. If it succeeds, it gets a reward. If it fails, it gets a penalty. Then it tries again. With enough trial and error, if the simulation was well designed, the A.I. should eventually learn to do what a human engineer does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s effectively like creating a very boring video game,\u201d Mr. Besiroglu said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mechanize is starting with computer programming, an occupation where reinforcement learning has already shown some promise. But it hopes that the same strategy could be used to automate jobs in many other white-collar fields.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019ll only truly know we\u2019ve succeeded once we\u2019ve created A.I. systems capable of taking on nearly every responsibility a human could carry out at a computer,\u201d the company <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mechanize.work\/blog\/how-to-fully-automate-software-engineering\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a> in a recent blog post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">I have some doubts about whether Mechanize\u2019s approach will work, especially for nontechnical jobs where success and failure aren\u2019t as easily measured. (What would it mean, for example, for an A.I. to \u201csucceed\u201d at being a high school teacher? What if its students did well on standardized tests, but they were all miserable and unmotivated? What if the A.I. teacher learned to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reward_hacking\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reward-hack<\/a> by feeding students the correct answers, in hopes of improving their test scores?)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mechanize\u2019s founders aren\u2019t na\u00efve about the difficulty of automating jobs this way. Mr. Barnett told me that his best estimate was that full automation would take 10 to 20 years. (Mr. Erdil and Mr. Besiroglu expect it to take 20 to 30 years.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">These are conservative timelines, by Silicon Valley standards. And I appreciate that, unlike many A.I. companies working on labor-replacing technology behind closed doors, Mechanize is being candid about what it\u2019s trying to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But I also found their pitch strangely devoid of empathy for the people whose jobs they\u2019re trying to replace, and unconcerned with whether society is ready for such profound change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Besiroglu said he believed that A.I. would eventually create \u201cradical abundance\u201d and wealth that could be redistributed to laid-off workers, in the form of a universal basic income that would allow them to maintain a high living standard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But like many A.I. companies working on labor-replacing technology, Mechanize has no novel policy proposals to help smooth the transition to an A.I.-driven economy, no brilliant ideas about expanding the social safety net or retraining workers for new jobs \u2014 only a goal of making the current jobs obsolete as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At one point during the Q&amp;A, I piped up to ask: Is it ethical to automate all labor?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Barnett, who described himself as a libertarian, responded that it is. He believes that A.I. will accelerate economic growth and spur lifesaving breakthroughs in medicine and science, and that a prosperous society with full automation would be preferable to a low-growth economy where humans still had jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf society as a whole becomes much wealthier, then I think that just outweighs the downsides of people losing their jobs,\u201d Mr. Barnett said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hey, at least they\u2019re being honest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/06\/11\/technology\/ai-mechanize-jobs.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years ago, when I started writing about Silicon Valley\u2019s efforts to replace workers with artificial intelligence, most tech executives at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[213,123,392,424,7525,782],"class_list":["post-31965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-computers-and-the-internet","tag-google-inc","tag-labor-and-jobs","tag-mechanize-ai","tag-start-ups"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>This A.I.
