Sam Altman says "AI won't bring a jobs catastrophe"... revises earlier outlook

Sam Altman said AI is unlikely to cause an immediate mass unemployment shock, partly walking back earlier warnings.

He also acknowledged that entry-level office job losses have been slower than expected so far.

Still, new research and government data show declines in junior hiring in AI-exposed roles and some coding work.

The latest signals suggest AI’s labor-market impact is real, but more gradual and mixed than early fears implied.
