OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman has been speaking in Washington this week at the Capital Framework for Large Banks conference, and he's had some worrying things to say about the interaction between AI and the job market. Speaking to the crowd during a fireside chat with Federal Reserve vice-chair for supervision Michelle Bowman, Altman seemed keen to pre-load his responses with a proviso:
"A thing that I like to remind people in our company of is, no-one knows what happens next. There's a lot of these really smart-sounding predictions… we have no idea. In my opinion… this is too complex of a system, this is too new and impactful of a technology. It's very hard to predict."
