  • The OpenAI chief economist argued the key issue is how jobs are structured and how specific tasks within them will evolve as AI spreads.
  • Speaking at the European Central Bank’s annual retreat, he said a better understanding of that shift is needed to guide advice on labor-market trends rather than broad optimism or pessimism.
