"I don't know what the exact percentage is, but there's some AI washing where people are blaming AI for layoffs that they would otherwise do, and then there's some real displacement by AI of different kinds of jobs."
"We'll find new kinds of jobs, as we do with every tech revolution. But I would expect that the real impact of AI doing jobs in the next few years will begin to be palpable."
Sam Altman highlighted the phenomenon of AI washing, where companies blame layoffs on AI rather than other factors. A study showed that 90% of executives reported no impact from AI on employment. However, some tech leaders predict significant job losses due to AI, with estimates suggesting up to 50% of entry-level jobs could be affected. Altman expects job displacement alongside the creation of new roles as AI technology evolves, indicating a complex relationship between AI and the labor market.
