AI Verified Authentic: the Business Standard page (a Reuters story) contains the exact sentence "I'm delighted to be wrong about this, I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs being eliminated by now than has actually happened," and attributes it to Sam Altman speaking with CBA CEO Matt Comyn; a Reuters-syndicated copy at Investing.com matches the wording. The stored author, date (2026-05-26), quote text, and source URL are consistent.

Disputed Reuters coverage syndicated on Investing.com attributes the remark to Sam Altman, and Heise/TechRadar relay the same Reuters text. But the reliable wording starts "I’m delighted to be wrong about this"—not "I was delighted..."—so the submitted quote is not verbatim as written, even though the attribution is correct. I also did not confirm the text at the provided TIME URL.
