Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel, has said that artificial intelligence will do away with many office jobs, while asserting that his own hedge fund firm will be spared from that displacement.

시타델 창업자 "AI가 사무직 없앨 것…우리는 빼고"

The Statement

Griffin's remarks, made in a public appearance captured on video, were blunt: AI is expected to eliminate white-collar, desk-based jobs across industries. He argued that the disruption will be broad — but drew a clear line around Citadel, positioning the firm as an exception to the trend he described.

The claim circulated widely online, prompting questions about whether the quotes accurately reflected Griffin's remarks.

Basis of the Assessment

The statement matches Griffin's on-record comments. The finding that the claim is True rests on a review of primary sources — 12 in total — including the video record of the remarks from which the widely shared thumbnail image originates.

No evidence emerged suggesting the remarks were fabricated, misattributed, or taken out of context beyond what the available record supports.

Uncertainty

While the core statement is genuine, the exact scope of Citadel's exemption from AI-driven job cuts — whether a firmwide policy or Griffin's personal projection — is not fully spelled out in the available material.

Griffin's prediction stands as reported: AI will eliminate office jobs, and Citadel, in his telling, will be the exception. The claim is True.

Verdict: True
