OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: AI is meant to enhance human abilities, not create entities that replace humans

In recent years, anxiety about job replacement by AI has been rising. For example, King, the developer of Candy Crush, once laid off engineers who built AI level generation tools, replacing them with their own creations; Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei even claimed all code could be written by AI within six months to a year, intensifying people's resistance to AI.

Sam Altman, founder and CEO of OpenAI, recently stated clearly on X that the company will not create entities replacing humans, but build tools to enhance human abilities. He believes the pessimism about AI replacing jobs is wrong long-term—people will find more meaningful work in the future, or even enjoy a prosperous life without overworking.
