   Description:   
   Artificial intelligence could speed up job change, with customer service   
   agents first to be affected, OpenAI CEO says.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has revealed he believes artificial intelligence could   
   indeed be responsible for widespread job losses.    
      
   Speaking in an interview on The Tucker Carlson Show recently, Altman said he   
   loses sleep over AIs impact, noting he feels the weight of ethical and moral   
   responsibilities as OpenAIs leader.    
      
   Altman added his biggest concern is how small decisions in model behavior   
   could have large real-world effects, to the point hes less worried about   
   bigger moral decisions than he is about the everyday consequences of   
   widespread AI use.   
      
   Which jobs will AI take?    
      
   In the interview, Sam Altman said customer service jobs could be most at risk   
   of AI displacement.    
      
   Im confident that a lot of current customer support that happens over a phone   
   or computer, those people will lose their jobs, and thatll be better done by   
   an AI, he explained.    
      
   Citing research shared with him, Altman noted how around 50% of jobs change   
   significantly every 75 years or so, but AI could speed this up, giving the   
   workforce little time to prepare for such change.    
      
   Looking ahead, Altman is also worried that developers and programmers could   
   lose their jobs to AI.    
      
   On the flip side, jobs requiring stronger human connections, like nursing,    
   are less likely to be replaced.    
      
   Altmans concerns arent baseless, though  Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who   
   believes all future generations of CEO will need to manage human workers and   
   AI agents simultaneously, recently cut 4,000 human agents from the companys   
   support team in favor of AI efficiency gains.    
      
   However, many companies are still finding their feet in the AI era, following   
   the influence of bigger companies like Salesforce. On that note, Gartner   
   expects half of companies to reverse plans to shrink customer support   
   headcount by 2027.
