On January 27, 2026, during a live - stream session tailored for developers, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, mentioned that artificial intelligence is reshaping the speed at which the company is growing its workforce. OpenAI has plans to substantially slow down the expansion of its hiring process. However, it's important to note that the company has neither imposed a complete hiring freeze nor completely phased out human employees.
Altman holds the view that companies ought to steer clear of the precarious situation where they hastily make a large number of hires without proper consideration and then are forced to carry out significant layoffs because AI has taken over those roles. He contends that the proper strategy is to decelerate the hiring rate while still maintaining a certain level of recruitment.
