OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discussed the potential of AI to aid in knowledge discovery and tackle intricate business problems, likening AI’s emerging role to that of junior employees. He highlighted a study indicating a decline in jobs involving AI-completable tasks, with companies like Shopify and Duolingo increasingly relying on AI instead of human workers. This shift points towards AI adopting responsibilities traditionally held by humans, raising concerns about workforce impacts as AI technologies evolve.
"You hear people that talk about their job now is to assign work to a bunch of agents, look at the quality, figure out how it fits together, give feedback, and it sounds a lot like how they work with a team of still relatively junior employees."
"I would bet next year that in some limited cases, at least in some small ways, we start to see agents that can help us discover new knowledge, or can figure out solutions to business problems that are kind of very non-trivial."
