‘Delighted to be wrong’ – Sam Altman changes tune on AI job apocalypse fears
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the “jobs apocalypse” from AI eliminating entry-level white-collar roles has not yet materialised, adding he expected more impact after ChatGPT’s 2022 launch. He said OpenAI tested AI-written email/Slack replies but reverted some to humans. The remarks come as firms cut jobs tied to AI investment and expand AI hiring, including Anthropic’s 40+ London roles.
