With artificial intelligence advancing by leaps and bounds, the debate on its impact on employment is more alive than ever. Are you going to leave us without work? Are we going to be replaced by algorithms? According to Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, those questions are not the most important.
What we should be asking is: What new employment opportunities will bring AI? Because if something is clear the founder of ChatgPT is that Artificial intelligence will not only transform how we work, but also what it means to work.
In an interview on YouTube with the creator of technological content Varun Mayya, Altman was blunt: «There will be totally new work classes that we had never seen before. «His message, far from being alarmist, focuses on the creative and transforming potential of these technologies.
How artificial intelligence will change employment, according to Sam Altman
Although certain traditional positions, such as those related to customer service or repetitive tasks, can be affected, Altman puts an optimistic reading on the table. Artificial intelligence can expand existing sectors and enhance human talent. A good example, in your opinion, is the graphic design.
With the arrival of AI -based tools, designers have not been replaced, but empowered. «Taste still matters a lot and, when we have computer tools, they could do more and do better,» he says. Thanks to the automation of technical tasks, these professionals can focus more on the creative part, taking their work to another level.
Computer today
For Altman, this could even translate into better remuneration and greater demand. «Maybe there was much more demand for graphic design in the world than we could allow to cover.»
Another of the emerging professions that he stands out is that of the Prompts engineer. This increasingly quoted profile is responsible for formulating effective instructions to obtain the best results of the generative AI models. Knowing how to talk to a machine, apparently, is becoming a key skill in the future labor market.
What the OpenAi CEO proposes, in essence, is A new way of thinking about employment, more fluid, more creative, and more collaborative with technological tools. It is not about competing with AI, but about working with her. For those who prepare, form and maintain an open mentality, this change can be a huge opportunity.
From his position at the head of this company behind Chatgpt, he has been one of the most influential voices in the debate on the future of work. Although he does not deny the challenges, he insists that the true impact of AI will be to unlock human capacities that were so far limited by technical or economic barriers.
And although fear of change is understandable, Altman believes that we are entering an era of unprecedented labor exploration.
