OpenAI Economist Says Jobs Data Disproves AI Unemployment Fears

Jobs data contradicts the common fear that artificial intelligence will put people out of work, OpenAI Chief Economist Aaron Chatterji said Tuesday (June 30). Speaking at the European Central Bank ’s ECB Forum on Central Banking , Chatterji said people often come to him with anxiety about the job market “regardless of what the data is showing.” Current data shows that the U.S. unemployment rate is below 5% and that Europe isn’t seeing AI-induced unemployment.
