<body><p>STORY: From predictions on how AI will hit jobs, to two $1 trillion market values...</p><p>This is AI Weekly. </p><p>:: AI Weekly</p><p>OpenAI’s Sam Altman said the rapid development and adoption of AI won't lead to a so-called jobs apocalypse. </p><p>And that it hadn’t claimed as many white-collar jobs as he’d feared. </p><p>Speaking at a Sydney conference, he said he’d been right about technological predictions when launching ChatGPT in 2022. </p><p>But admits he was wrong on AI's near-term social and economic impact.</p><p>It comes, however, as a growing number of major global companies, like Amazon and HSBC, announce some jobs are being replaced by AI. </p><p>// </p><p>Meanwhile, Anthropic’s Chris Olah warned that AI development cannot be left solely to technology companies.</p><p>“AI development is concentrated in a handful of wealthy nations.

It is an unsolved problem.”</p><p>Speaking at the Vatican, the Claude AI-maker urged greater oversight of the technology from religious leaders, governments and civil society.</p><p>Unlike Altman, Olah said there was "a real possibility" that AI will displace human labor "at a very large scale."</p><p>“If that happens, supporting those displaced will be a moral imperative of historic proportions.”</p><p>The event marked an unusual convergence between the technology sector and the Catholic Church.</p><p>// </p><p>U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said he’d postponed signing an executive order on AI because he didn’t like certain aspects of it. </p><p>“I think it gets in the way of, you know, we're leading China, we're leading everybody. And I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that lead. We have a very substantial one.”</p><p>Sources told Reuters the order would create a voluntary framework for AI developers to engage with the U.S. government before the public release of advanced models. </p><p>And the tech industry feared that the order's provisions could hurt industry profits if it slowed the rollout of new models. </p><p>Trump had planned to sign the order at a ceremony on Thursday afternoon attended by CEOs of AI companies.</p><p>//</p><p>On Tuesday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record closing highs.</p><p>That’s as AI-fueled optimism offset anxiety over Middle East peace talks.</p><p>Semiconductor stocks, which have surged on AI-driven demand, led gains, with Micron hitting $1 trillion in market value for the first time.</p><p>There's a renewed confidence in AI trade which has driven U.S. equities higher…</p><p>With investors now turning their attention to IPOs of some of the largest private AI companies, including SpaceX.</p><p>//</p><p>A day later, SK Hynix topped $1 trillion in market value for the first time.</p><p>It joined memory chip rivals Micron and Samsung Electronics in reaching the milestone on an AI-driven rally.</p><p>Shares of SK Hynix closed the session up 9.3%, after rising almost 15% during the session. </p><p>It propelled South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI index to a record high.</p></body>
