Comment by David Solomon
Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs
One camp sees a “job apocalypse” and mass unemployment ahead; the other sees a great leap forward for society. Put me in the second camp — with a few caveats.Disputed source (May 22, 2026)

Benzinga’s May 26, 2026 article does contain this text, but the surrounding lines say David Sacks only endorsed David Solomon’s New York Times essay; the pronoun “he wrote” refers to Solomon, not Sacks. Digg’s capture of Sacks’s X post shows his actual post was just “Yes” plus a link to the NYT article. A mirror of that NYT op-ed credits the passage to David M. Solomon on 2026-05-22. So the excerpt is authentic, but it is misattributed here and the canonical source is Solomon’s NYT op-ed.

The wording is real, but it is not by David Sacks. Benzinga says Sacks merely posted “Yes” endorsing David Solomon’s New York Times essay, and the quoted passage is introduced as coming from that essay; a republication of the essay attributes the exact lines to David M. Solomon. So this quote is misattributed to Sacks.

Quote attributed to David Sacks (White House AI czar). The Benzinga source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but a web search independently confirmed the exact quote — "One camp sees a 'job apocalypse' and mass unemployment ahead; the other sees a great leap forward for society. Put me in the second camp — with a few caveats." — from this same Benzinga (May 2026) article reporting Sacks endorsing the Goldman Sachs CEO's optimistic, anti-"job apocalypse" outlook. Vote alignment: statement is "AI will create more jobs than it destroys" and Sacks's vote is "for"; Sacks explicitly places himself in the optimistic ("great leap forward") camp rejecting mass unemployment, so "for" is consistent. Year 2026 is current and relevant. All checks pass.
