Altman and Amodei revise AI job loss predictions amid IPO preparations

Prominent AI leaders Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic are revising their earlier, more dire predictions about AI's impact on white-collar employment. Both executives now suggest that AI may not lead to widespread job elimination as previously feared, with Amodei even proposing that automation could expand job roles and increase productivity. This shift in perspective comes as both OpenAI and Anthropic are reportedly preparing for significant IPOs, with some analysts suggesting this recalibration might be influenced by upcoming financial events. AI
