On October 5th, according to Kuaikeji, the question of whether your job will be replaced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the future is one that, probabilistically speaking, most will face.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, predicts that approximately 40% of tasks within the future economic system will be taken over by AI. This pace of change far surpasses historical trends, where occupational structures have seen half their roles updated every 75 years. Altman candidly admitted to feeling “a bit scared” of ChatGPT and warned that it could reshape society and “eliminate” numerous jobs.
Repetitive and programmatic tasks, such as customer service, report writing, and basic programming, are most susceptible to being replaced. The customer service industry, in particular, might face complete extinction.
When addressing the concern about jobs being replaced by AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman directly responded to this issue. He also candidly stated that he wishes he could become a farmer, which implicitly suggests that farming is a profession not likely to be supplanted by artificial intelligence.
Altman shared his long-held dream of farming after a decade of high-pressure work, emphasizing the enduring human desire to create value. While short-term job displacement is inevitable, in the long run, AI is poised to foster new, more human-centric professions. In the CEO’s view, navigating the impact of AI requires cultivating transferable, universal competencies rather than mastering a single, specialized skill.
