Altman admits he overestimated AI’s job-stealing threat; Jensen Huang: the unemployment narrative is completely backwards - 36Kr

Sam Altman said people do not want an AI CEO, since company decisions require clear accountability.

Altman also admitted he overestimated how quickly AI would replace entry-level white-collar jobs.

Jensen Huang argued the AI-and-unemployment narrative is backwards: AI is more likely to take over tasks and boost productivity than erase jobs outright.

U.S. hiring data suggests new-graduate roles have not broadly shrunk, though entry-level standardized tasks are getting harder to access.

Overall, tech leaders are shifting the debate from job loss to task reshaping, with implications for hiring and labor expectations.
