Sam Altman: AI Won't Cause "Jobs Apocalypse

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman now says artificial intelligence probably won't cause a global "jobs apocalypse." This is a shift from his previous predictions. Altman, a leading authority on AI, had been among those warning the technology could eliminate many white-collar jobs. He previously predicted AI might replace "30 to 40%" of all work tasks. However, in a recent interview, Altman stated his fears were overblown. He said he thought there would have been more impact on entry-level, white-collar jobs by now. He now believes many jobs require a human component that AI cannot replace. This matters because it offers a new perspective on the future impact of AI on the job market.
