Investing.com - OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed agreement with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang’s optimistic perspective on artificial intelligence and employment, countering concerns about widespread job displacement.

Altman stated on X he agrees with "lots of what Jensen has been saying about AI and jobs," emphasizing that "there is a ton of stuff to do in the world." His comments align with Huang’s recent statements to Axios on July 14, 2025, where the Nvidia chief predicted AI would create "vastly more and superior jobs."

The OpenAI executive outlined three key predictions about the future workforce: people will accomplish more than before with heightened abilities and expectations, continue to value human connection and contributions, and remain motivated by creation and service to others. This perspective contrasts with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s warning that AI could eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs within years.

Altman suggested future employment might resemble games by today’s standards while remaining meaningful to workers, comparing this shift to how past generations might view modern jobs. He emphasized that betting against human desire for material goods, status competition, and creative expression "is always a bad bet."
