In an interview with Big Technology Podcast, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, discussed the potential impact of advanced AI systems like GPT-7 on the job market. He suggested that a universal basic income (UBI) could be a solution to address job displacement caused by AI. Altman believes that within the next decade, AI will automate a significant portion of jobs, leading to widespread economic disruption. He proposed a UBI funded by the companies benefiting from AI, ensuring that everyone has a basic standard of living. Altman also hinted at the possibility of GPT-7 being released by 2024, which could be even more powerful than the current GPT models. He emphasized the need for responsible development and deployment of AI systems to mitigate potential risks and negative impacts.
