OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that generation Z enters the job market in a scenario already transformed by artificial intelligence. According to InfoMoney, he made the statement last week, in an interview at the Stanford School of Business, and the speech drew attention for suggesting that young people still cling to what was “cool” five years ago.
For Altman, this transformation is just beginning. The report records that he says that the disruption of work by AI is still in its infancy and that a large number of tasks performed today by people will be carried out by technology, in a better, cheaper and faster way.
The most sensitive point of the interview, according to the same source, is how this work will be done. Altman claims that AI will perform these tasks in a completely different way, which suggests a reorganization of processes, and not just replacing a person with a tool that does exactly the same method.
In this scenario, the executive believes that ambitious young people can stand out if they leave old formulas aside. The reading is that whoever enters the market now needs to learn to work with technology instead of repeating paths that worked for previous generations.
It is worth remembering that the source is the executive of one of the companies most associated with the advancement of AI. The vision is relevant, but it is not neutral, and the report does not detail which functions would be most affected or within what time frame the change should take place.
What changes for the investor
For those who follow the Nasdaq and technology stocks, the speech reinforces AI as a topic of productivity and personnel costs, topics that usually appear in earnings reports and in conference calls with analysts. In a free market economy, efficiency gains tend to favor those who adopt new methods faster, but the statement does not provide data on specific companies or sectors, so the effect on prices will depend on how each company reacts. Investors can observe how companies describe the use of AI in their balance sheets and whether this appears concretely in the margins. This is not a recommendation to buy or sell.
