Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are both walking back AI jobs apocalypse predictions

Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, who previously warned that AI would devastate white-collar employment, are now reversing their predictions and acknowledging they were wrong about the technology's immediate job impact. Altman stated he is "pretty wrong" about AI's economic disruption, while Amodei reframed automation as a productivity multiplier rather than a job destroyer. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, who maintained skepticism about an AI job apocalypse from the start, pointed to historical precedent showing the U.S. has successfully created new jobs following technological disruptions.
