Altman cautions that although AI will displace some jobs, it will also create new roles, with the real impact expected to become palpable in the coming years.

While some firms (Amazon, HP, Duolingo, Salesforce) point to AI as justification, experts caution that automation is unlikely to replace most jobs by 2030 and CEO statements may reflect incentives rather than reality; the debate underscores uncertainty about AI’s true impact on the labor market.
