While AI advocates like Hoffman have touted superintelligent machines as a catalyst for the next renaissance, many experts have warned it could be the trigger for humanity’s extinction. Inflection AI didn’t immediately return Fortune‘s request for comment. He told Fortune that “some jobs will disappear” because of AI advancements, but the tech could also offer answers to the problems it creates by reskilling the labor force-a stance he doubled down on at London’s CogX Festival this week. In May, he predicted personal AI assistants would be able to perform “informational tasks” in a matter of two to five years. Hoffman has echoed Suleyman’s views in the past on the revolutionary impact of AI on jobs. “There are going to be a serious number of losers will be very unhappy, very agitated.” “Unquestionably, many of the tasks in white-collar land will look very different in the next five to 10 years,” he said at a San Francisco forum earlier this year. He said the tech promised the “most prosperous and transformative decade that we’ve ever experienced as a species.”īy Suleyman’s projections, a future where a personal AI could carry out a variety of tasks for humans is only about five years away.

He was among the early investors in ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, and co-founded Inflection AI, which raised $1.3 billion in June from backers including Microsoft, Bill Gates and Nvidia.Īt CogX Festival on Wednesday, Inflection AI co-founder and CEO Mustafa Suleyman emphasized the role of AI tools as a “reliable chief of staff” that could change how the future looks. Hoffman has been involved with AI for several years.

In the same sense, he said, if the expansion of AI systems were to stop, it would prevent related fields from flourishing.
