OpenAI首席执行官奥特曼和英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋近期相继调整了对AI与就业关系的看法。奥特曼在今年5月承认自己高估了AI消灭初级白领岗位的速度，表示"就业末日"大概不会来临[1]。黄仁勋则在YC Startup School 2026上表示，"AI毁掉工作的叙事完全搞反了"[1]。
两位科技领袖提出了新的解读框架。奥特曼指出人们"并不真正想要一个AI CEO"，这改变了他曾在2025年10月声称OpenAI是第一家由AI CEO管理的大公司的说法[1]。黄仁勋进一步阐释，AI接管的是任务而非整份工作，这与普遍的失业担忧形成对比[1]。
数据支持了这一观点。马里兰大学和LinkUp统计的1.55亿条美国招聘信息显示，截至2025年第四季度，没有证据表明AI整体压垮招聘需求[1]。面向应届生的岗位占比从2022年第四季度的11.7%上升到2025年第四季度的12.6%，2025年第四季度达53.2万条，比2018年第一季度高出63%[1]。其中，软件工程师岗位同比增长约10%，放射科岗位过去几年涨了约20%[1]。
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang have recently abandoned earlier predictions of widespread job losses caused by artificial intelligence, instead arguing that the technology's actual impact on employment has been far more limited than initially feared.
Altman acknowledged in May 2026 that he had overestimated the speed at which AI would eliminate entry-level white-collar positions, stating that an employment apocalypse is unlikely to materialize [1]. His stance represents a significant reversal from previous comments in October 2025, when he claimed that OpenAI had become the first major company managed by an AI CEO [1]. However, on July 28, 2026, Altman stated that people "do not truly want an AI CEO" [1].
Huang took a similar position at YC Startup School 2026, asserting that "the narrative about AI destroying jobs is completely backwards" [1]. Rather than eliminating entire positions, he contended that AI assumes specific tasks within jobs rather than replacing workers wholesale [1]. Data compiled by researchers at the University of Maryland and LinkUp, analyzing 155 million U.S. job postings through the fourth quarter of 2025, found no evidence that AI has crushed overall hiring demand [1]. Entry-level positions actually increased as a proportion of total job listings, rising from 11.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022 to 12.6 percent by the fourth quarter of 2025, with approximately 532,000 such positions posted in 4Q 2025—63 percent higher than in the first quarter of 2018 [1]. Software engineering roles grew roughly 10 percent year-over-year, while radiology positions increased by approximately 20 percent over recent years [1].
