For years, white-collar jobs have been about execution, up until the emergence of Artificial Intelligence, which is now changing how we work. On a recent episode of the Invest Like the Best podcast, Anthropic’s Chief Financial Officer, Krishna Rao, explained that AI now powers a significant portion of internal workflows at the company, including most of its coding work.
“90 plus percent of our code is actually written by Claude Code,” Rao said, referring to Anthropic’s AI coding assistant. “A lot of Claude Code's code is written by Claude Code.”
According to Rao, Anthropic’s finance operations are increasingly relying on Claude as well, particularly for generating financial statements and preparing monthly reviews. In many cases, he said, the work is already “90 to 95% ready” before employees step in for review and interpretation.
“What used to take hours to produce now comes down to 30 minutes,” he added.
But beneath the discussion around AI-generated code is a larger change that is reshaping how many white-collar jobs operate. Instead of carrying out every task manually, workers are supervising AI systems that generate the work first. Rao described teams using “fleets of agents” across projects simultaneously, while employees focus more on reviewing outputs, making decisions, and steering the direction of the work.
