Part 7/9:
The advent of superhuman AI coding agents will inevitably reshape the economy and society. Altman predicts significant shifts: some jobs will evolve or disappear, but new opportunities will arise in the process. The cost of AI-driven services and manufacturing is expected to plummet, making products cheaper and more accessible, while resources like land and luxury goods could become even more valuable due to scarcity.
This transition will unfold gradually, but its impact will be impossible to ignore. Increasingly sophisticated AI will automate many junior coding tasks, freeing humans to concentrate on strategic design, innovation, and research.
