Speaking in Sydney, Sam Altman said AI has not produced the feared "jobs apocalypse," with fewer white-collar roles displaced than he had expected.
OpenAI's CEO said the company got many 2022 technology forecasts right but misjudged AI's social and economic effects, especially how much work would still require a human element.
Altman acknowledged some companies are replacing jobs with AI, yet argued human interaction remains vital and the labor market is likely to be reshaped rather than hollowed out.
His remarks come as OpenAI prepares for a U.S. IPO reportedly targeting a valuation of about $1 trillion, sharpening attention on how AI's commercial rise is affecting employment.
