’62-Year-Old Doesn’t Want to Go Retrain’: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Says Older Workers Need to Embrace AI — or Face Losing Their Jobs

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledges that AI can change the workforce and replace some jobs for good — but instead of focusing on AI’s effects on recent college graduates, Altman is more concerned about the technology’s impact on soon-to-be retirees.

In a podcast episode of “Huge Conversations” with Cleo Abram, released last week, Altman said that he was “more worried” about what AI meant for “the 62-year-old that doesn’t want to go retrain” than the “22-year-old” just graduating college. The reason? Young people are “the best” at readily adjusting to changes brought on by technology, even when that technology replaces jobs.
