OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Talks About AI Replacing Some Jobs But Not Doctors

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, recently spoke at a big banking conference in Washington. He talked about how artificial intelligence is quickly changing the job market. Sam said that nobody really knows exactly what will happen next because AI is a new and powerful tool. Still, he thinks that some jobs will completely disappear as AI becomes more common, while new types of jobs will also appear. He believes people will be able to use AI to do their current jobs better and faster.

Sam gave customer support as an example. In the past, calling customer support could take hours and involved talking to many people. Now, AI bots can answer calls quickly and solve problems much faster than humans. He believes that in jobs like these, AI may completely replace human workers and that he does not mind when an AI helps him with customer support.

However, Sam also talked about the limits of AI. For example, even though tools like ChatGPT are becoming better at diagnosing health issues and some doctors in the UK are already using AI to help with paperwork and offering diagnoses, Sam said he still wants a human doctor for medical decisions. He feels it is important for humans to be involved in important areas like healthcare.

At the same time, governments are making plans to regulate and encourage the growth of AI technologies. This shows that AI will keep becoming a bigger part of our daily lives. Sam's advice suggests that people whose jobs might be affected by AI should start thinking about ways to adapt or learn new skills. While AI might change many industries, some jobs will always need a human touch.
