The Unpredictable Impact of AI on the Labor Market

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared his insights on the unpredictable future of artificial intelligence's impact on the labor market during a discussion in Washington with Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman.

"I like to remind us that no one knows what happens next," Altman emphasized, highlighting the complexity and novelty of AI technology. He acknowledged that while certain job categories may disappear, new ones will emerge, enabling people to achieve more and innovate in ways previously unimaginable.

Changing Professions in the AI Era

Altman pointed out that professions such as doctors, lawyers, and computer programmers will undergo significant transformations. However, the demand for medical care, legal advice, and technological solutions will persist, ensuring that these professions adapt rather than disappear.

Concluding his thoughts, Altman humorously noted that despite advancements, people will likely continue to complain about working too hard and the challenges of unprecedented wealth.
