**[AI "Job Displacement" Narrative Cools Down, Tech Giants' CEOs Shift to Optimism]** BlockBeats reports that on July 6, executives from multiple tech companies have recently adjusted their statements regarding AI's impact on employment. They have shifted from emphasizing "AI will massively replace jobs" to believing that AI is more about enhancing productivity and creating new roles. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the industry had previously underestimated the role of humans in AI systems. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei mentioned that AI could both drive layoffs and help companies accomplish more without increasing headcount, with the outcome depending on management decisions. According to the latest EY-Parthenon survey, the proportion of executives who believe AI investments will lead to large-scale layoffs has dropped from 46% in January 2025 to 20% in May 2026. A joint study by Ramp and Revelio Labs shows that companies with the highest AI investment intensity have employee growth rates approximately 10% higher than similar companies not adopting AI. Although Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy both expressed that AI is likely to create more job opportunities, both companies have continued to streamline their organizations this year, raising market skepticism about corporate AI narratives. Research by tech consultancy Emergn reveals that about 20% of U.S. corporate managers reported internal AI project reports exaggerating results and downplaying issues. Industry insiders believe that the commercialization of AI is progressing slower than market expectations, with significant differences in application effectiveness across industries and scenarios. --------------------------------- Click the link below to access the original article and join the Beating · Feishu AI News Channel for 24/7 global AI news monitoring.
