Menin asks companies to project New York AI job displacement
Menin asks each company what percentage of New York's workforce will be displaced by AI over five years. Dwyer and Graham say they don't have a number, describing economic research teams; Cahill is optimistic about small businesses; Friend says most jobs will change.
Okay, and then the last question I have before passing it on to the chair is for each of you, based on your own internal projections, what percentage of New York's workforce do you estimate will be displaced by AI over the next five years?
And I'll start with you, Ms.
Dwyer.
I don't have a number to share with you, but OpenAI has an economic research team that is looking at this exact question of how AI impacts jobs.
We think it's critically important to understand how AI might impact work.
And we also think it's important to ensure that AI is not just being used to increase productivity, but that it actually benefits workers and gives them more opportunity.
That's why we're committed to making our analysis of job impacts public and why we've also worked with policymakers, including.
Endorsing the Bipartisan Workforce Transparency Act to create voluntary pathways for other companies to report potential impacts.
