OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has projected that artificial general intelligence (AGI) could emerge by 2030, potentially transforming 30% to 40% of the global workforce. In a recent briefing, Altman highlighted that GPT-5 has already exceeded human-level performance in several domains, with future models expected to be significantly more powerful. He stressed the importance of substantial computational resources, noting OpenAI's investment in data centers in Texas to support these advancements. Altman clarified that while AI will automate predictable tasks, it will not completely eliminate jobs. Software engineering is likely to be the first sector impacted, whereas roles requiring deep human interaction, such as nursing and counseling, are expected to remain secure. The World Economic Forum anticipates that 12% to 14% of workers may need to transition to new roles by 2030.
