This appointment comes at a time when the rapid development of AI technologies raises questions about their effects on job markets and economic growth.
The role of chief economist is crucial as AI technologies continue to evolve and integrate into various sectors. Chatterji's expertise will guide OpenAI in understanding how these advancements can be harnessed for economic benefit while addressing potential disruptions in the job market.
Chatterji expressed enthusiasm about his new position, stating, "My career has focused on studying how innovation and entrepreneurship shape our economy and society, and I am excited to apply my skills to support OpenAI’s mission to ensure that the benefits of artificial intelligence are widely distributed."

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has acknowledged that while AI may eliminate certain jobs, it will also create new opportunities and transform existing roles. He stated, "AI is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, and there will be classes of jobs that totally go away. AI is also going to change the way a lot of current jobs function, and it’s going to create entirely new jobs."
Chatterji's research will not only focus on the U.S. economy but will also explore the global economic impact of AI infrastructure. This includes:
In addition to Chatterji's appointment, OpenAI has also brought on board Scott Schools, a former Uber executive, as its chief compliance officer. These changes reflect OpenAI's commitment to strengthening its leadership team amid rapid growth and evolving challenges in the AI landscape.
As OpenAI continues to expand, the insights generated from Chatterji's research will be vital in navigating the complexities of an AI-driven economy, ensuring that the benefits of these technologies are maximized for society as a whole.
