Sam Altman warns those over 60: Artificial Intelligence will forever change employment.😱👀

The CEO of OpenAI stated that younger people will have more tools to adapt, while employees with decades of experience may face greater difficulties in retraining in a labor market transformed by AI.

The debate about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on employment remains at the center of the technological agenda.

In a recent interview, OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, warned that older workers will be the most exposed to the changes brought about by automation.

Altman noted that his concern is not focused on young people, but on veteran employees who may resist professional retraining.

"I am more concerned about what it means, not for the 22-year-old, but for the 62-year-old who does not want to retrain or reskill," he explained to journalist Cleo Abram.

The executive acknowledged that AI will lead to the disappearance of certain jobs, but emphasized that new generations have more tools to adapt: technological training, willingness to learn new skills, and flexibility to explore emerging sectors.

An uncertain future, but with opportunities

Altman avoided making absolute predictions about the evolution of employment, warning that the speed of technological changes makes it difficult to anticipate long-term scenarios. However, he expressed optimism about the opportunities that will arise:

In 2035, that college student graduating could be starting a mission to explore the solar system, in a completely new, exciting, and well-paid job, while we do more traditional tasks, he stated.

His vision suggests that the main challenge is not the disappearance of routine jobs, but the preparation of the population to adapt to emerging sectors.
