During a recent conference in Australia, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, acknowledged that his earlier predictions about AI leading to widespread job losses were overstated. He expressed relief that the anticipated impact on entry-level jobs has not occurred as he had expected, stating, “I’m delighted to be wrong about this.” Altman has long warned about the potential for AI to disrupt the job market, having previously claimed that AI could handle 40% of work tasks in the near future. However, he now recognizes that the situation is more nuanced and has initiated a $250 million program through the OpenAI Foundation to assist workers facing disruptions due to AI. Despite this shift in narrative, OpenAI continues to develop and sell powerful AI technologies that could potentially replace human jobs, raising concerns about the company's role in the evolving job landscape. Altman's change in tone appears to be an effort to mitigate fears while still positioning OpenAI as a leader in the AI field.
