While AI wipes out entry-level roles, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says it's actually ‘the most exciting time to be starting out one's career'
Billionaire OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has a message for new Gen Z graduates struggling to gain a footing in the entry-level job market: 'This is probably the most exciting time to be starting out one's career, maybe ever.' But as the class of 2025 scrolls through LinkedIn for new postings, they're facing a tougher reality—AI has stolen most of their opportunities to kick-start their nine-to-fives. In what seems like a dumpster fire of an early career job market for Gen Z—filled with ghost jobs and AI agents—Sam Altman said it's actually 'the most exciting time to be starting out one's career, maybe ever.' 'I think that [a] 25-year-old in Mumbai can probably do more than any previous 25-year-old in history could,' Altman said on an episode of the People by WTF podcast with Nikhil Kamath. 'I felt the same way when I was 25, and the tools then were not as amazing as the tools we have now … A 25-year-old then could do things that no 25-year-old in history before would have been able to, and now that's happening in a huge way.' But Gen Z isn't experiencing the same exciting job market as Altman describes. Entry-level positions are decreasing for ambitious, fresh-faced graduates, as employers expect rookies to come in fully skilled. ChatGPT and AI agents are taking over junior staffers' beginner skills that Gen Zers use to kick-start their journey up the corporate ladder, and the dream of landing a six-figure tech job after college is becoming a distant reality. Some Gen Zers are even seeking their first jobs at Chipotle instead. As a result of skyrocketing tuition costs and a depressing white-collar job market, Gen Z's situation is so dire that 4.3 million young people are now NEETs: not in education, employment, or training. Altman even says he's envious of Gen Z's career options today Even though many young job-seekers are in despair, the tech leader said he's envious of young people because his early career jobs will look 'boring' by comparison. Comparatively, he said, Gen Z will be exploring the solar system and lock down jobs with sky-high salaries. 'If I were 22 right now and graduating college, I would feel like the luckiest kid in all of history,' he added. The billionaire cofounder compared the current AI revolution to how computers changed the world of work when he was growing up. 'People are now limited only by the quality and creativity of their ideas,' the OpenAI CEO said, adding that advances in AI are transforming programming, accelerating scientific discovery, and enabling entirely new kinds of software. But still, in a job market where the first rung of the ladder is disappearing thanks to AI, Altman's optimism is a reminder that Gen Z's success will be determined by how they integrate the tools into their next role. The split of tech founders on AI Altman isn't alone in his optimism about AI. Billionaire Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates said using AI to improve productivity in the workplace could open up more jobs in the future, despite there being some career 'dislocation' for entry-level graduates. In addition, AMD CEO Lisa Su doesn't believe AI is out to cause massive job losses, but admits anxiety around the technology's innovation is a natural feeling. On the flip side, other tech leaders have warned of AI's threat to entry-level roles and the white-collar job market altogether. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said AI could wipe out roughly 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years, causing unemployment to spike as high as 20%. LinkedIn's chief economic opportunity officer Aneesh Raman also echoed that sentiment. Raman said that AI is increasingly threatening the types of jobs that historically have served as stepping stones for young workers who are just beginning their careers. 'While the technology sector is feeling the first waves of change, reflecting AI's mass adoption in this field, the erosion of traditional entry-level tasks is expected to play out in fields like finance, travel, food, and professional services, too,' he said.

BHP Group Limited (BHP) Part of Industry Consortium Assessing Development of CCUS Hubs Across Asia
BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP) is among the 12 Best Australian Stocks to Buy Right Now. On August 11, the company announced that it would be part of an industry consortium to assess the development of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) hubs across Asia. A close up of the hand of a financial analyst, holding a copy of a report from a rating agency. The consortium will comprise leading steelmakers, including ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, Hyundai Steel Company, JSW Steel, and value chain players BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP), Chevron, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. The first of its kind industry-led study in Asia will investigate the commercial and technical pathways to utilising CCUS in hard-to-abate sectors across the continent. According to BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP)'s press release, the research will focus on the potential for large-scale projects that could store or repurpose captured CO2. The study will also seek applications for the use of captured CO2 in industrial processes or its transportation to Asia or Northern Australia through pipeline or shipping. The research will conclude in 2026 and is open to additional members wanting to join and contribute to the study. Dr Ben Ellis, Vice President of Marketing Sustainability at BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP) shared the following remarks on the announcement of the consortium: 'BHP is committed to supporting our steelmaking customers on their journey to decarbonise the more than 1 billion tonnes of production a year in Asia coming from blast furnace capacity that is relatively early in its production life, it's important for industry to progress technologies to decarbonise existing steelmaking assets while new commercial pathways to decarbonise steelmaking are developed over time.
