Part 8/10:
Altman’s views extend beyond technology to societal shifts. He recently declared that he no longer uses Google Search, relying instead on ChatGPT. This signifies a fundamental change in how we access information. He also remarks that the current era is the most exciting in history for youth: a 25-year-old in Mumbai today might wield more influence than any prior generation, thanks to AI.
Conversely, he acknowledges the darker side—entry-level jobs are vanishing rapidly. Experts warn that AI could eliminate up to 50% of white-collar roles within five years, risking high unemployment among young workers. While Altman remains optimistic, lamenting the loss of traditional job paths, the disruptive implications of AI-induced unemployment are undeniable.
