The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, believes that the continued integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into society will result in the creation of newer, more advanced jobs. Although some current positions may become obsolete, Altman is confident that better-paying, more innovative roles will emerge to replace them.
Speaking at an event organized by Economic Times, Altman stated that in two generations, we can adapt to any amount of labour market change. He went on to say that there will be new better jobs that are difficult to imagine today, and that as people are given better tools to work with, their performance will also improve.
Altman’s comments come amid growing concerns over the impact of AI on the labor market. Some experts fear that the rise of AI and automation will result in the displacement of millions of workers, particularly those in low-skilled positions.
However, Altman is confident that the shift towards AI will ultimately be beneficial for the economy, saying that the floor lifts up, expectations lift when people are given access to better tools and technologies.
While it remains to be seen exactly what types of jobs will be created in the wake of increased AI integration, Altman’s optimistic outlook offers a refreshing perspective on the future of work. Indeed, as AI continues to reshape our world, it’s clear that new opportunities will emerge – and those who are willing to adapt and embrace change will be well-positioned to thrive in the years ahead.
