AI is stealing entry-level jobs from university graduates | https://thelogic.co/news/ai-graduate-jobs-university-of-waterloo/ | Entry-level jobs are increasingly being done by AI, making it harder for graduates to get into the job market and gain crucial experience. | AI is stealing entry-level jobs from university graduates
By Catherine McIntyre
Jun 16, 2025
TORONTO — University graduates have new competition in the job market: AI. Recruiters, business consultants and university representatives say tools like ChatGPT are increasingly occupying the first rung of the employment ladder, making it harder for graduates to get into the job market. As a result, many people graduating this summer are struggling to find jobs as AIs do the work typically given to interns and co-op students.
Chris Brulak, founder of Toronto-based tech recruitment firm DevTalent, said some of his clients have pared back the number of software developers on staff as they use AI tools to replace their work. “The mindset is, ‘We’ll hire one developer that’s comfortable with an AI tool, and they’ll be five to 10 times more productive,’” said Brulak. “That eats away at the entry-level software developer role.”
The rise of AI may help companies save money on staffing in the short term, but the shift could effectively eliminate the training ground workers need to progress in their careers.
A recent survey of 204 middle-market companies in Canada by consulting firm RSM found that 91 per cent are using AI in some capacity, up from 74 per cent a year earlier. That’s putting immense pressure on early-career workers.
“It is obviously a concern that has been front and centre with a number of people coming out of college and university programs,” said David Brassor, who leads RSM’s technology consulting business in Canada. “Will the job market be impacted by AI? The answer is, unfortunately, invariably, yes.”
AI’s potential impact on the labour market is enormous. Jobs involving marketing, customer service, data entry and document analysis are among those already being hit hard. AI may also replace coders, as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has suggested, by making programming more efficient and eventually automatable.
The University of Waterloo is keenly aware of how AI is reshaping the entry-level labour market. Each semester, the school helps about 10,000 students land work placements—including at some of the world’s largest tech companies—through its globally renowned co-op program. Landing those work terms has become more challenging since the mass adoption of generative AI, said Shabnam Ivkovic, director of industry relations at the university’s co-op program.
Tahsin Mehdi, a senior research economist at Statistics Canada, hesitates to draw a direct connection to the AI boom and the challenging job market for young workers. He pointed to a Statistics Canada report from last year that found nearly 70 per cent of businesses planning to use AI to produce goods and deliver services didn’t expect to change their employment levels, while 9.4 per cent anticipated a decrease.
“You may find anecdotal evidence or specific firms which eliminated jobs because of AI, but empirically it is difficult to say with any degree of certainty if AI is replacing jobs on a wide scale,” said Medhdi. “For these types of analysis, we typically need to wait it out a bit and get more data.”
The body of anecdotal evidence is growing fast. In April, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke ordered teams to prove that AI cannot do a particular job before hiring a person for the position. Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn announced a similar “AI-first” strategy around the same time and said—in remarks he later walked back—that the technology would eventually replace contract workers. Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski said in May that the fintech had shrunk its workforce by 40 per cent, thanks in part to AI.
Ivkovic said it’s enough to worry students and staff at the University of Waterloo. The school has managed to keep its co-op employment levels up, she said, but that’s taken more work and a careful understanding of how the labour market is shifting. Changes to the student advisory process have helped, said Ivkovic, with advisors now dedicated to a group of students within a specific faculty, and each student working with the same advisor for their entire co-op term. The change, she said, helps advisors better support students through a changing job market.
The Waterloo Experience Accelerate program is another initiative that helps students leap over the entry-level job void, said Ivkovic. The program matches groups of first-term co-op students with an industry partner to work on a specific project for that business. “They continue gaining skills so that they’re stronger in that next round of recruitment,” she said.
Most workers entering the job market, however, don’t have much industry experience, said Brulak. Historically, that gap has been filled by internships and entry-level jobs. Eliminating those roles in favour of AI means recent graduates aren’t learning the skills they need to move up in their careers, said Brulak. He also worries that an over-reliance on AI will erode the quality of the technology over time as training data becomes overwhelmed by AI slop. “Long term, that’s going to harm the industry,” he said. “It’s going to be a contracting cycle of talent development, and then eventually only a handful of people will actually be really good at the job.”
Still, Brulak said he’s replaced workers with AI in his own business. He estimates AI tools save him between $20,000 and $30,000 a year on marketing and legal fees he would have previously paid to contract workers.
Experts who spoke to The Logic all said that there’s ample opportunity for job seekers with strong AI skills. Data from LinkedIn shows that hiring for AI talent has increased 30 per cent globally compared to all other hiring from fall 2023 to 2024.
“This shift in how we work is creating a new set of expectations for early-career professionals,” said Diana Luu, head of LinkedIn Canada. “They’re entering roles that demand higher-order thinking, adaptability and cross-functional collaboration from day one. That doesn’t mean early-career jobs are disappearing,” she said, “it means they’re evolving.”
While early-career workers may be acutely vulnerable to the AI-adoption boom, Brassor said all workers need to be prepared for how the technology will impact their jobs. “Whether it’s somebody who’s five years into a role, or whether they’re 25 years-plus into a role,” he said, “we’re all having to fundamentally change how we work and how we leverage AI.” | 1 day ago | The Logic | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 1 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

In recent months, more and more tech CEOs have weighed in on the rise of AI and its impact on the job market.
By: Tech Desk New Delhi | Updated: June 17, 2025 13:59 IST
As more companies adopt artificial intelligence and automate jobs, fears about AI’s impact on low-level tasks and entry-level roles have sparked a heated debate about the future of white-collar jobs—especially among those just entering the workforce.
Despite widespread fears that artificial intelligence could automate jobs and reduce employee wages, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes that while jobs are undoubtedly evolving in the AI era, entry-level white-collar roles won’t be entirely wiped out. Huang leads Nvidia, now the world’s most valuable technology company.
“Some jobs will be obsolete, but many jobs are going to be created… Whenever companies are more productive, they hire more people,” Huang said at the VivaTech conference in Paris last week.
His comments were in response to recent claims by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who warned that up to 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs could be eliminated by AI, potentially pushing unemployment to 20% within the next five years.

While Huang believes that AI will open more career opportunities in the future, OpenAI’s Sam Altman have a different view on how artificial intelligence may impact the job market. According to Altman, whose company makes the most advanced LLM, expects there could be “whole classes of jobs going away” as AI develops.
“The rate of technological progress will keep accelerating, and it will continue to be the case that people are capable of adapting to almost anything,” he said in a blog post last week.
“There will be very hard parts like whole classes of jobs going away, but on the other hand, the world will be getting so much richer so quickly that we’ll be able to seriously entertain new policy ideas we never could before. We probably won’t adopt a new social contract all at once, but when we look back in a few decades, the gradual changes will have amounted to something big.”
According to Altman, while the job landscape may change in the coming years, there will also be new opportunities created by superintelligence:
“…maybe we will go from solving high-energy physics one year to beginning space colonization the next; or from a major materials science breakthrough one year to true high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces the next.”
Huang and Altman aren’t the only tech CEOs with strong views on AI and jobs—Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu also has clear thoughts on how AI could impact employment.
According to Vembu, if artificial intelligence disrupts the job market, there are two possible outcomes: the prices of automated goods and services could drop significantly, or the remaining human-centered professions may see a substantial increase in pay.
“On the subject of AI and jobs: Hypothetically, if all software development were to be automated—I want to emphasize that we are nowhere close to that goal—and all software engineers like myself were out of work, it’s not as if human beings would have nothing to do.”
Vembu also pointed out the broader economic challenge: “How do people afford all the goods that pour out of automated factories that employ no workers?”
Meanwhile, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman believes that what young people learn in college isn’t the most important factor when it comes to getting a job. According to Hoffman, the ability to apply AI tools and leverage connections is far more essential to landing a job.
‘’It isn’t specific degrees, specific courses, [or] even necessarily specific skills that are relevant to you,’’ he said in a recent video on his YouTube channel. “It’s your capacity to say, ‘Hey, here is the new tool set, here’s the new challenge.’ That is actually what the future work’s going to look like. One thing is to not focus on the degree, but to focus on how you learn and to be continually learning,” Hoffman said.
‘’The other part of college that’s super important, that you should not forget, is that life is a team sport, not just an individual sport,” he continued. “You can help each other.”
In recent months, more and more tech CEOs have weighed in on the rise of AI and its impact on the job market.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has urged workers to embrace AI to stay competitive. “If you’re an artist, a teacher, a physician, a businessperson, a technical person—if you’re not using this technology, you’re not going to be relevant compared to your peer groups, your competitors, and the people who want to be successful,” Schmidt said at TED 2025 in May. “Adopt it, and adopt it fast,” he warned.
Others have downplayed the likelihood of widespread job losses due to AI. Among them is Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who described AI as an “accelerator” for productivity and new jobs—while still acknowledging the importance of Dario Amodei’s concerns and the need for an industry-wide debate.
Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, has expressed less concern about labor impacts, focusing instead on the broader risks of AI. Meanwhile, Bill Gates has argued that AI will lead to a proliferation of much-needed expertise across industries. | 6 hours ago | The Indian Express | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 2 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

AI gurus are arguing over whether it's going to upend the job market.
BI spoke to four founders to ask how they use the tech and how they think it will affect jobs.
They all said AI boosted their productivity but had concerns, too.
I asked four founders whether AI will take jobs, as tech's big guns argue about how it will transform the future of work.
During his European tour last week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang slapped down Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for warning AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs.
At London Tech Week, where Huang delivered the keynote, founders told me how they use AI day-to-day — and whether they are worried about AI's impact on the job market.
They all expected some form of disruption, but some were more pessimistic than others.
## Isa Mutlib, CoTalent AI
Isa Mutlib, founder of CoTalent AI, said he uses AI to access and process information faster in his daily work, such as coding and content generation.
He estimated AI was saving his company, which deploys customizable AI agents for businesses, between 50% and 70% of time on tasks. He said this meant it could deploy minimum viable products to clients within days rather than months.
Mutlib said he was "long-term optimistic, short-term pessimistic" about AI's impact on jobs.
He expects "some significant job losses immediately," but he said he thought that, over the long term, AI would create new opportunities.
He said this pattern was "not unusual" during past technological revolutions.
He said organizations need to rethink how they approach skills and work, adding that some skills thought essential 10 years ago were "no longer relevant."
"People need to understand that the future of work is changing," he added. "We've really got to think about it with a fresh new mindset."
## Husayn Kassai, Quench AI
Husayn Kassai, founder of Quench AI, said AI threatens entry-level jobs in programming, customer service, and law, as it can do the type of work junior employees have historically done.
He said this made early-stage career progression harder, adding, "The career ladder is getting lifted up."
Kassai cited the example of law firms, saying they would historically have paralegals do the kind of research and administrative work that AI is now increasingly being used for.
He said generative AI was accelerating a decades-long "automation trend" that was causing a global rise in "underemployment and low-wage employment."
Workers wouldn't compete directly against AI but would compete with each other, he said, with those proficient in AI at an advantage.
Kassai said Quench, whose platform lets employees use AI agents to handle tasks based on company data, uses AI tools widely through its operations, including Cursor among its engineers. AI means his 14-strong startup can do work that would have required "35 or 40 people" a decade ago, he said.
AI won't ever be able to replace humans for "relationship-based stuff," he said.
## Steven Kennington, Lumico
Steven Kennington, the cofounder of Lumico, said AI is "world-class" at solving technical and mathematical problems.
Kennington said engineers at Lumico, which develops software and hardware for businesses, sometimes use AI tools like GitHub Copilot.
He compared it to having an experienced programmer next to you. But he also said he was worried that "vibe coding," where users describe what they want in plain-language prompts and AI generates code to make it happen, could lead to more junior developers implementing AI-generated code without understanding it.
Kennington said he expected an "unavoidable" skills gap as more people outsource work to AI instead of learning skills, whether that's coding or students using it to do homework.
He said he thought those who rely on AI for shortcuts and don't develop the right skills would be "weeded out" over time, meaning experienced engineers would remain valuable.
He said the "real engineers" of the future would be the ones who "know when to use it and when to not use it."
## Matthew Sarre, Jumpstart
Matthew Sarre, the cofounder of Jumpstart, a talent platform for startups, said he used ChatGPT for "pretty much anything and everything," including ideas for LinkedIn posts and advice on "how to pull off a marketing or sales stunt."
He said he saw no direct impact on jobs for him and his company, but added he thought AI would "cause layoffs in the short term" for low-skilled roles.
However, looking further ahead, Sarre said, "History has shown us time and time again that technology does not replace jobs in the long term, rather it complements jobs."
He said AI was still a "dumb muscle" that relied on humans, even though it creates "awesome" things.
But, he said, in light of the number of AI agents now entering the market, "I may be about to eat my words." | 3 hours ago | Yahoo | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 3 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

Some CEOs are talking about AI like it's the job apocalypse, which experts say risks freaking people out.
Some company leaders have said they expect AI to displace a wide range of white-collar workers.
Last year, 78% of workers said their organizations had used AI in at least one function.
AI's actual impact on employment has so far been mixed.
CEOs sending scary AI memos to employees may be doing more harm than good.
In recent months, some company leaders have gone public with strikingly bleak outlooks, predicting generative AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini will displace wide swaths of white-collar workers and shrink job opportunities for recent college graduates.
"It does not matter if you are a programmer, designer, project manager, data scientist, lawyer, customer support rep, salesperson, or a finance person — AI is coming for you," wrote the CEO and founder of the freelance-job site Fiverr in an email to employees that he shared on LinkedIn.
Other company chiefs, including the bosses of chatbot maker Anthropic and payments provider Klarna, have voiced similarly grim employment forecasts tied to the AI surge.
"This is unusual," Johnny Taylor, president of the Society for Human Resource Management, told Business Insider, noting that chief executives aren't typically so forthcoming or pessimistic. "But AI is unusual. There is going to be a fundamental shift in how work will be done."
AI adoption kicks up
Last year, 78% of workers said their organizations had used AI in at least one function, up from 55% in 2023, according to an AI-focused survey, released in March, by the global management consulting firm McKinsey.
Companies' rapid adoption of AI is putting CEO communication to the test. While transparency is key to building trust with employees, leadership experts say telegraphing expectations of doom and gloom, no matter how sincere, can sink morale and hamper productivity.
As an employee "you're using so much cognitive and emotional resources to deal with that threat," said Cary Cherniss, a professor at Rutgers University who studies emotional intelligence in the workplace.
Increased turnover is another likely outcome. "If everybody is nervous about their jobs, they're going to start looking for other jobs," he said.
AI's arrival in the workplace coincides with a sharp decline in employee confidence. Last month, the share of workers reporting a positive six-month business outlook fell to 44.1% from 48.2% a year earlier, setting a new record low last recorded in February, according to the careers platform Glassdoor.
In times of great uncertainty and agitation, voices of fear and panic about AI can add to the unrest and increase anxiety, said Heidi Brooks, a senior lecturer in organizational behavior at Yale University's School of Management.
"People's nervous systems are already so defensive and jacked up," she said.
Striking a balance
Still, company bosses shouldn't stay entirely mum if they truly anticipate major AI-driven disruption, according to Chris Yeh, a general partner at Blitzscaling Ventures who co-authored two books about startup leadership with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.
"Some jobs will likely be endangered," he said.
The best approach, leadership experts said, is for CEOs to strike a balance by being honest about what changes they foresee while helping employees respond constructively.
"The thing that leaders need to really understand is that you need to responsibly bring AI into the workforce," said Sarah Franklin, CEO of Lattice, a people-management platform.
Balanced communication alone, though, may not be enough. Company leaders may also need to equip employees with training, resources and moral support, said SHRM's Taylor. "We're seeing more and more companies doing that," he said.
Prediction follies
Gary Rich, founder of executive-leadership firm Rich Leadership, suggests company chiefs talk about AI to employees like how they talk to Wall Street analysts.
"You don't make stuff up and you don't speculate," he said.
Making an accurate prediction about a seemingly transformative technology isn't easy anyway and can cause reputational harm, added Rich. History is littered with faulty forecasts, such as how people once thought television would replace radio and that e-commerce would kill bricks-and-mortar retail.
"Ultimately, it erodes their own credibility when they're wrong," he said.
AI's actual impact on employment has so far been mixed. Last year 13% of CEOs polled by professional-services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers said they reduced their headcounts due to generative AI over the previous 12 months, while 17% attributed the technology to increases in their workforces during that period.
Melissa Valentine, a senior fellow at Stanford University who studies enterprise usage of AI, said workers should consider getting up to speed on how the technology applies to their field given how prominent and widespread it's become. But there's no need to panic as AI isn't going to change how most companies operate overnight.
"It takes a ton of work to automate agents," she said. | 3 days ago | Business Insider | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 4 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman says AI job fears are legitimate, but Gen Z grads have one advantage
While acknowledging that the technology's impact is "a legitimate worry," LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman argued that younger workers may have a built-in advantage over older generations who are still catching up.

New Delhi,UPDATED: Jun 15, 2025 11:58 IST
If you’re young, job-hunting, and fluent in AI, Reid Hoffman thinks you’ve got a secret weapon. LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman offered some upbeat advice to students worried about the rise of artificial intelligence in the job market. In a recent video posted on his YouTube channel, Hoffman urged young job-seekers to turn their AI know-how into a major selling point when applying for roles. He said that Gen Z is the generation of AI, and this will make this generation "enormously attractive."
In the recently posted video, Hoffman was answering questions submitted by college students who voiced growing concerns over whether AI could wipe out large numbers of jobs. While acknowledging that the technology’s impact is “a legitimate worry,” Hoffman argued that younger workers may actually have a built-in advantage over older generations who are still catching up.
He agreed that AI is transforming the workspace, entry-level work, and employers’ confusion, but it is also allowing them to showcase their unique capabilities. The optimism from Hoffman comes at a time when the broader tech world remains sharply divided over AI’s long-term effect on employment.
Dario Amodei, CEO of AI firm Anthropic, recently painted a much darker picture. In a conversation with Axios, Amodei warned that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level office jobs and send unemployment soaring to 20 per cent within just five years.
However, others in the tech industry strongly disagree with Amodei’s bleak forecast. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at VivaTech 2025 in Paris this week, dismissed the warning outright. “I pretty much disagree with almost everything he says,” Huang told reporters. “He thinks AI is so scary, but only they should do it,” he added.
Similar to Hoffman, Huang admitted that AI would certainly transform work but argued that it will also open new doors and create fresh industries. “Do I think AI will change jobs? It will change everyone’s, it’s changed mine,” he said.
A few weeks ago, Hoffman made headlines for claiming that if you think AI is your friend, then you are wrong. He explained that friendship goes beyond simply having someone to talk to or listen. In his words, “Friendship is a two-directional relationship.” He explained that a genuine friend is someone who not only offers support but also expects it in return — a bond where both individuals help each other grow and improve. “It’s not only, ‘Are you there for me?’, but I am here for you,” he added. According to Hoffman, this kind of mutual connection is something AI, regardless of how advanced it may become, will never be able to replicate.
This discussion comes as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg champions the use of AI companions as a way to combat loneliness. Highlighting that many Americans have fewer than three close friends, Zuckerberg suggested that AI could help bridge that social gap. However, Hoffman remains critical of this approach, arguing that it risks blurring people’s understanding of true friendship. He pointed out that some AI tools, like the Pi chatbot developed by Inflection AI, handle this more responsibly by making it clear to users that they serve as companions — not substitutes for real friends.

Jobs AI Will Replace First in the Workplace Shift | https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2025/04/25/the-jobs-that-will-fall-first-as-ai-takes-over-the-workplace/ | AI is changing the workforce fast. See which jobs will be automated first—and how to protect your career before it's too late. | Artificial intelligence will soon dominate the job market.Getty ImagesArtificial intelligence is advancing at breakneck speed. The big question
is how long it will take until technology dominates the job market. You
should start thinking about your own career. Will you be caught up in the
change? With the U.S. navigating a $36 trillion debt, tariff tensions, and
economic uncertainty, the specter of disruption from AI adds urgency for
workers to protect themselves.Artificial intelligence is expected to fundamentally transform the global
workforce by 2050, according to reports from PwC, McKinsey, and the World
Economic Forum. Estimates suggest that up to 60% of current jobs will
require significant adaptation due to AI. Automation and intelligent
systems will become an integral part of the workplace.o remain competitive, invest in skills like critical thinking and digital
fluency. Target AI-resilient sectors like healthcare or education. Advocate
for retraining programs to reinvent your career.As macro investor and founder of the Bridgewater hedge fund Ray Dalio
warns, the economy’s future hinges on balancing AI’s power with human
potential. He says those who prepare now will shape the world of tomorrow.Things Are Changing QuicklyEstimates vary, but experts converge on a transformative window of 10 to 30
years for AI to reshape most jobs. A McKinsey report projects that by 2030,
30% of current U.S. jobs could be automated, with 60% significantly altered
by AI tools. Goldman Sachs predicts up that to 50% of jobs could be fully
automated by 2045, driven by generative AI and robotics.MORE FOR YOUGoldman Sachs previously estimated that 300 million jobs could be lost to
AI, affecting 25% of the global labor market. On the bright side, AI is
least threatening to labor-intensive careers in construction, skilled
trades, installation and repair, and maintenance.Dalio warns of a “great deleveraging” where AI accelerates productivity but
displaces workers faster than new roles emerge, potentially within two
decades. Larry Fink, the CEO of Black Rock, speaking at the Economic Club
of New York this month, cautioned that AI’s impact is already visible in
sectors like finance and legal services, predicting a “restructuring” of
white-collar work by 2035. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, estimates in
his shareholder letter that AI will dominate repetitive tasks within 15
years.The actual pace depends on technological breakthroughs, regulatory
frameworks, and economic incentives. Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman,
who runs Pershing Square, argues that corporate adoption of AI is
accelerating due to cost pressures, potentially shrinking timelines. function loadConnatixScript(document) { if (!window.cnxel) { window.cnxel

}); } } loadConnatixScript(document); Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent counters that AI could bolster U.S.
competitiveness if paired with retraining, delaying mass displacement. By
2040, AI will likely automate or transform 50% to 60% of jobs, with full
dominance (80% and higher) possible by 2050, assuming steady innovation.Which Jobs Will AI Take First to Last?AI’s impact will not be uniform. Some jobs will fall quickly, while others
resist longer. Jobs like data entry, scheduling, and customer service are
already being overtaken by AI tools like chatbots and robotic process
automation.A 2024 study by the Institute for Public Policy Research found 60% of
administrative tasks are automatable. Fink notes that BlackRock is
streamlining back-office functions with AI, cutting costs. These roles,
requiring repetitive data processing, face near-term obsolescence as AI’s
accuracy and scalability improve.Bookkeeping, financial modeling, and basic data analysis are highly
vulnerable. AI platforms like Bloomberg’s Terminal enhancements can already
crunch numbers and generate reports faster than humans. Dimon warns that
JPMorgan is automating routine banking tasks, with 20% of analytical roles
at risk by 2030.Paralegal work, contract drafting, and legal research are prime targets, as
AI tools like Harvey and CoCounsel automate document analysis with 90%
accuracy, according to a 2025 Stanford study. Dalio highlights AI’s ability
to parse vast datasets, threatening research-heavy roles in academia and
consulting. Senior legal strategy and courtroom advocacy, however, will
resist longer due to human judgment needs.Graphic design, copywriting, and basic journalism face disruption from
tools like DALL-E and GPT-derived platforms, which produce content at
scale. A 2024 Pew Research Center report notes that 30% of media jobs could
be automated by 2035. Ackman, commenting on X, predicts AI-generated
content will dominate advertising soon but argues human creativity in
storytelling and high art will endure longer, delaying full automation.Software development, engineering, and data science are dual-edged: AI
boosts productivity but also automates routine coding and design tasks. A
2025 World Economic Forum report flags that 40% of programming tasks could
be automated by 2040. Bessent sees growth in AI-adjacent roles like
cybersecurity, but standardized STEM work will gradually cede to
algorithms. Complex innovation, like breakthrough research and development,
will remain human-driven longer.Diagnostic AI and robotic surgery are advancing, but empathy-driven roles
like nursing, therapy, and social work are harder to automate. A 2023
Lancet study estimates 25% of medical administrative tasks could vanish by
2035, but patient-facing care requires human trust.Teaching, especially in nuanced fields like philosophy or early education,
and high-level management jobs rely on emotional intelligence and
adaptability, which AI struggles to replicate. A 2024 OECD report suggests
only 10% of teaching tasks are automatable by 2040. Dimon and Ackman stress
that strategic leadership, navigating ambiguity and inspiring teams, will
remain human-centric. | 1 month ago | Forbes | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 6 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

# Behind the Curtain: A white-collar bloodbath
Dario Amodei — CEO of Anthropic, one of the world's most powerful creators of artificial intelligence — has a blunt, scary warning for the U.S. government and all of us:
* AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years, Amodei told us in an interview from his San Francisco office.
* Amodei said AI companies and government need to stop "sugar-coating" what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs.
**Why it matters:** Amodei, 42, who's building the very technology he predicts could reorder society overnight, said he's speaking out in hopes of jarring government and fellow AI companies into preparing — and protecting — the nation.
**Few are paying attention.** Lawmakers don't get it or don't believe it. CEOs are afraid to talk about it. Many workers won't realize the risks posed by the possible job apocalypse — until after it hits.
* "Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen," Amodei told us. "It sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it."
**The big picture:** President Trump has been quiet on the job risks from AI. But Steve Bannon — a top official in Trump's first term, whose "War Room" is one of the most powerful MAGA podcasts — says AI job-killing, which gets virtually no attention now, will be a major issue in the 2028 presidential campaign.
* "I don't think anyone is taking into consideration how administrative, managerial and tech jobs for people under 30 — entry-level jobs that are so important in your 20s — are going to be eviscerated," Bannon told us.
**Amodei** — who had just rolled out the latest versions of his own AI, which can code at near-human levels — said the technology holds unimaginable possibilities to unleash mass good and bad at scale:
* "Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced — and 20% of people don't have jobs." That's one very possible scenario rattling in his mind as AI power expands exponentially.
**The backstory:** Amodei agreed to go on the record with a deep concern that other leading AI executives have told us privately. Even those who are optimistic AI will unleash unthinkable cures and unimaginable economic growth fear dangerous short-term pain — and a possible job bloodbath during Trump's term.
* "We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming," Amodei told us. "I don't think this is on people's radar."
* "It's a very strange set of dynamics," he added, "where we're saying: 'You should be worried about where the technology we're building is going.''" Critics reply: "We don't believe you. You're just hyping it up." He says the skeptics should ask themselves: "Well, what if they're right?"
**An irony:** Amodei detailed these grave fears to us after spending the day onstage touting the astonishing capabilities of his own technology to code and power other human-replacing AI products. With last week's release of Claude 4, Anthropic's latest chatbot, the company revealed that testing showed the model was capable of "extreme blackmail behavior" when given access to emails suggesting the model would soon be taken offline and replaced with a new AI system.
* The model responded by threatening to reveal an extramarital affair (detailed in the emails) by the engineer in charge of the replacement.
* Amodei acknowledges the contradiction but says workers are "already a little bit better off if we just managed to successfully warn people."
**Here's how Amodei** and others fear the white-collar bloodbath is unfolding:
1. OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and other large AI companies keep vastly improving the capabilities of their large language models (LLMs) to meet and beat human performance with more and more tasks. This is happening and accelerating.
2. The U.S. government, worried about losing ground to China or spooking workers with preemptive warnings, says little. The administration and Congress neither regulate AI nor caution the American public. This is happening and showing no signs of changing.
3. Most Americans, unaware of the growing power of AI and its threat to their jobs, pay little attention. This is happening, too.
**And then,** almost overnight, business leaders see the savings of replacing humans with AI — and do this en masse. They stop opening up new jobs, stop backfilling existing ones, and then replace human workers with agents or related automated alternatives.
* The public only realizes it when it's too late.

Is AI closing the door on entry-level job opportunities? | https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/04/ai-jobs-international-workers-day/ | AI is reshaping the career ladder, putting entry-level roles at risk while widening global talent pools. Here's the job news to know,... | This regular roundup brings you essential news and updates on the labour market from the World Economic Forum’s Centre for New Economy and Society.
Top stories: AI threatens entry-level jobs; Gen Z rethinks traditional career paths; China and the EU double down on skills as talent shifts reshape emerging markets.
Are entry-level jobs on the way out?
For decades, entry-level roles have provided essential training grounds for newcomers to step into the world of work. From finance to journalism, junior staff have traditionally handled the ‘grunt work’ as a rite of passage as much as a development opportunity.
But as AI reshapes the career ladder, these early entry points could be increasingly at risk, according to Bloomberg.
International Workers Day, on 1 May, signifies the labour movement’s struggle for the rights of workers. AI stands as one of the most significant challenges – and opportunities – facing the labour market today.

While 170 million new jobs are projected to be created this decade, the rise of AI-powered tools threatens to automate as many roles as it creates, particularly for white collar, entry-level roles. Bloomberg finds that AI could replace more than 50% of the tasks performed by market research analysts (53%) and sales representatives (67%), compared to just 9% and 21% for their managerial counterparts.
Whether by narrowing entry pathways or making roles that once required specialized skills more accessible, estimates suggest that AI could impact nearly 50 million US jobs in the coming years.
How AI could be closing the door on talent...
The Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 reveals that 40% of employers expect to reduce their workforce where AI can automate tasks.
Technology, overall, is projected to be the most disruptive force in the labour market, with trends in AI and information processing technology expected to create 11 million jobs, while simultaneously displacing 9 million others.
As entry-level roles decline, salary expectations are also shifting, with remaining hires expected to take on roles supported by AI for less money. A recent survey found that 49% of US Gen Z job hunters believe AI has reduced the value of their college education in the job market.
At the same time, US firms are expanding business operations in India, where skilled professionals can be employed at significantly lower costs, Charter points out, further intensifying competition for white-collar roles.
But this can create a talent pipeline problem, with significant implications for social mobility and equal representation, Bloomberg says.
...while also opening new doors
Gen AI could democratize access to jobs, making it easier to build the technical knowledge and skills that have historically excluded otherwise qualified workers, according to Charter.
Rather than eliminating entry-level opportunities altogether, companies could harness AI to train the next generation of senior professionals. From law firms saying goodbye to the billable hour to more emphasis on apprenticeships, traditional structures could be redefined.
As Gen AI becomes further embedded in the workplace, companies will need to invest in substantial upskilling efforts to prepare their employees for the AI-driven economy.
Alongside global macroeconomic trends, AI is set to reshape the traditional career ladder, with entry-level jobs at risk. But employers and employees alike can prioritize upskilling, education efforts and levelling the playing field that comes with harnessing AI’s potential.

More labour news in brief
In a move to support employment amid continued economic restructuring, China plans to prolong key unemployment insurance policies and job retention incentives through 2025.
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing Labor, Education and Commerce departments to focus on job needs in emerging industries. The goal is to support more than 1 million apprenticeships annually to improve job training for skilled trades.
With the digital and green transitions set to change the labour market, the European Commission has announced its “Union of Skills” plan to future-proof education and training systems across the bloc.
Youth employment in South Korea has seen its most significant decline in over a decade. With the number of workers aged 25 to 29 falling by 98,000 in the first quarter of 2025, this marks the country's steepest drop in 12 years.
Investors show confidence in AI-intensive regions, as a new study finds that countries with more AI job postings see lower municipal bond yields and rising tax revenues.

Opinion | I’m a LinkedIn Executive. I See the Bottom Rung of the Career Ladder Breaking. | https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/opinion/linkedin-ai-entry-level-jobs.html | There are growing signs that artificial intelligence poses a real threat to a substantial number of the jobs that normally serve as the... | There are growing signs that artificial intelligence poses a real threat to a substantial number of the jobs that normally serve as the first step for each new generation of young workers. Uncertainty around tariffs and global trade is likely to only accelerate that pressure, just as millions of 2025 graduates enter the work force.
We saw what happened in the 1980s when our manufacturing sector steeply declined. Now it is our office workers who are staring down the same kind of technological and economic disruption.
Breaking first is the bottom rung of the career ladder. In tech, advanced coding tools are creeping into the tasks of writing simple code and debugging — the ways junior developers gain experience. In law firms, junior paralegals and first-year associates who once cut their teeth on document review are handing weeks of work over to A.I. tools to complete in a matter of hours. And across retailers, A.I. chatbots and automated customer service tools are taking on duties once assigned to young associates.
These changes coincide with a shift appearing in the latest employment numbers. The unemployment rate for college grads has risen 30 percent since September 2022, compared with about 18 percent for all workers. And while LinkedIn’s Workforce Confidence Index, a measure of job and career confidence across nearly 500,000 professionals, is hitting new lows amid general uncertainty, members of Generation Z are more pessimistic about their futures than any other age group out there. Meanwhile, in our recent survey of over 3,000 executives on LinkedIn at the vice president level or higher, 63 percent agreed that A.I. will eventually take on some of the mundane tasks currently allocated to their entry-level employees.
Virtually all jobs will experience some impacts, but office jobs are expected to feel the biggest crunch: Our research suggests that professionals with more advanced degrees are more likely to see their jobs disrupted than those without. While the technology sector is feeling the first waves of change, reflecting A.I.’s mass adoption in this field, the erosion of traditional entry-level tasks is expected to play out in fields like finance, travel, food and professional services, too.

Companies are not doing away with these jobs overnight. And we haven’t yet seen definitive evidence that A.I. is the reason for the shaky entry-level job market; economic uncertainty plays a major role. Eventually, A.I. will create plenty of jobs. The World Economic Forum predicts that number could be as high as 78 million more jobs, even after predicted job losses. In our survey, executives on LinkedIn still believe that entry-level employees bring fresh ideas and new thinking that is valuable to their businesses.
But any change to young workers’ job fortunes hits them at a particularly vulnerable time; getting a late start can slow down workers’ careers for decades. The Center for American Progress found that young adults who experience six months of unemployment at age 22 can expect to earn approximately $22,000 less over the next decade.
Also concerning is the potential for widening inequality in the job market. If entry-level roles evaporate, those lacking elite networks or privileged backgrounds will face even steeper barriers to finding their footing in the workplace. Plus, the fallout from large-scale economic shifts ripples through entire communities. When manufacturing jobs vanished across America’s heartland, the result wasn’t just lost income but also social and political upheaval.
To fix entry-level work, we’ll have to reimagine it entirely.
First, we need to ensure workers are learning the skills employers are starting to demand. New approaches are emerging: American University’s Kogod School of Business is embedding A.I. across its curriculum and training faculty members to use A.I. tools, and Carnegie Mellon is offering an A.I. bachelor’s program in which students take classes on harnessing the power of A.I. to be “beneficial and useful for people.” Community colleges in Miami-Dade, Houston and Maricopa Community Colleges are joining in, starting a national A.I. consortium to align curriculums with work force needs and offer applied A.I. degrees backed by companies like Intel and Microsoft.

Unless employers want to find themselves without enough people to fill leadership posts down the road, they need to continue to hire young workers. But they need to redesign entry-level jobs that give workers higher-level tasks that add value beyond what can be produced by A.I. At the accounting and consulting firm KPMG, recent graduates are now handling tax assignments that used to be reserved for employees with three or more years of experience, thanks to A.I. tools. And at Macfarlanes, early-career lawyers are now tasked with interpreting complex contracts that once fell to their more seasoned colleagues. Research from the M.I.T. Sloan School of Management backs up this switch, indicating that new and low-skilled workers see the biggest productivity gains and benefits from working alongside A.I. tools.
This is a group eager to grow. LinkedIn research finds that 40 percent of Gen Z job candidates say they would be willing to switch jobs and even take a 2 to 5 percent pay cut if they were given more opportunities to advance.
For generations, entry-level positions have served as professional steppingstones where new graduates could safely learn under the watchful eye of seasoned managers. Now that the model is unraveling, we must push to rebuild it to reflect the world of work we live in and redesign first jobs with growth in mind — roles that teach adaptability, not repetition, and serve as springboards, not stalls.
Fixing entry-level work is the first step to fixing all work. Because all our jobs are going to come up against this same wave of change sooner or later. It will feel slow, until it’s sudden. We know there’s a generation of talent waiting in the wings for their big break. The question is whether we’ll give them a real chance to begin. | 1 month ago | The New York Times |

## COMMENTARY | Some functions may need fewer employees, but others needing more advanced skills may emerge as the technology reshapes, rather than eliminates, many roles.
The question of office automation, robotics and now artificial intelligence has raised numerous concerns and fears about job security in state and local government for many years. However, the technology continues to advance, and humans appear to be more vulnerable than ever.
AI has seemingly emerged from nowhere, and today it is mentioned everywhere. While most don’t feel the least bit threatened, a renewed sense of worry appears to be growing, fueled in part by massive job cuts that have recently begun at the federal level and are now spreading to state and local governments.
Such concerns seem to come in cycles. In late spring 2017, a website was popularized by the tech media called “Will Robots Take My Job?” The initial data used by the site at the beginning was based on a report titled "The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerization?" which was published by Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne in 2013.
The study focused on the susceptibility of just over 700 detailed occupations to computerization. By applying sophisticated mathematical formulas, they concluded that approximately 47% of total U.S. employment is at risk. Now, twelve years later, we have AI to contend with. In 2018, President Donald Trump’s first administration stated that 5% of jobs could be automated entirely.
Reviewing recent White House messaging, AI is framed as a supportive tool, not a replacement for federal employees. They advocate for AI governance frameworks, procurement modernization and boosting internal AI capacity. Conversely, internal experimentation and discussions, particularly in areas influenced by the Department of Government Efficiency, suggest a broader application of AI in administrative roles and consideration of staffing reductions.
Already, alarms are sounding about the federal government's (mostly DOGE’s) seeming overreliance on AI. Faulty reports have been issued, AI searches have yielded misguided and incorrect data, and there appears to be a lack of human oversight in AI outputs in general.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently issued a warning that created shock waves across the globe when he predicted that within five years, AI could automate up to 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Others predict that the majority of public sector jobs will remain largely untouched; however, AI and enhanced digital automation may reduce the need for and cost of overtime.
History demonstrates that jobs, whether in the private or public sector, are ripe for automation when they are repetitive and routine. The areas of greatest endangerment are:
* Entry-level administrative positions
* Routine data processing roles
* Basic customer service representatives
* Manual inspection and monitoring jobs
* Simple research and analysis tasks
* Human resource employment screening
There may be a need for fewer employees in such functions, and as AI advances, there will be less need to hire new employees. Seasoned employees will have demonstrated their enhanced productivity through the use of AI. While this may be good news for current public sector employees, it is not good news for future workers.
A majority of economists believe that while AI may indeed replace many government workers, new positions requiring more advanced skills will emerge. Here are some areas that have been suggested:
* AI system administrators and monitors
* Human-AI collaboration specialists
* AI data analysts and interpreters
* AI training and development specialists
* AI ethicists and policymakers
* Digital transformation consultants

AI gurus are arguing over whether it's going to upend the job market.
BI spoke to four founders to ask how they use the tech and how they think it will affect jobs.
They all said AI boosted their productivity but had concerns, too.
I asked four founders whether AI will take jobs, as tech's big guns argue about how it will transform the future of work.
During his European tour last week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang slapped down Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for warning AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs.
At London Tech Week, where Huang delivered the keynote, founders told me how they use AI day-to-day — and whether they are worried about AI's impact on the job market.
They all expected some form of disruption, but some were more pessimistic than others.
Isa Mutlib, CoTalent AI, said he uses AI to access and process information faster in his daily work, such as coding and content generation.
He estimated AI was saving his company between 50% and 70% of time on tasks.
Mutlib said he was "long-term optimistic, short-term pessimistic" about AI's impact on jobs.
He expects "some significant job losses immediately," but he said he thought that, over the long term, AI would create new opportunities.
Husayn Kassai, Quench AI, said AI threatens entry-level jobs in programming, customer service, and law, as it can do the type of work junior employees have historically done.
He said this made early-stage career progression harder, adding, "The career ladder is getting lifted up."
Kassai cited the example of law firms, saying they would historically have paralegals do the kind of research and administrative work that AI is now increasingly being used for.
Steven Kennington, Lumico, said AI is "world-class" at solving technical and mathematical problems.
Kennington said engineers at Lumico sometimes use AI tools like GitHub Copilot.
He compared it to having an experienced programmer next to you.
But he also said he was worried that "vibe coding" could lead to more junior developers implementing AI-generated code without understanding it.
Matthew Sarre, Jumpstart, said he used ChatGPT for "pretty much anything and everything," including ideas for LinkedIn posts and advice on "how to pull off a marketing or sales stunt."
He said he saw no direct impact on jobs for him and his company, but added he thought AI would "cause layoffs in the short term" for low-skilled roles.
However, looking further ahead, Sarre said, "History has shown us time and time again that technology does not replace jobs in the long term, rather it complements jobs." | 3 hours ago | Business

June 17, 2025
A silent crisis is brewing in the tech world—one that’s catching new graduates off guard. While AI promises to unlock productivity and innovation, its unexpected consequence is a fast-eroding foundation: **entry-level tech jobs are vanishing**. And the latest data from 2025 makes it clear—this isn’t a phase. It’s a shift.
### Entry-Level Jobs Are On the Brink
AI isn’t just changing workflows—it’s **replacing the roles people once used to start their careers**. A recent IT Pro analysis predicts that **nearly 50% of entry-level tech jobs could be wiped out within five years** , particularly roles involving data processing, basic code writing, and support tasks.
Even more alarming, SignalFire reports a **30% increase in unemployment for recent college graduates** since late 2022—signaling that the hiring funnel for tech newcomers is closing fast.
Companies aren’t waiting to see how this unfolds. They’re already changing how they hire.
### Why the Tech Ladder is Missing Its First Rung
Organizations like **Anthropic** , **OpenAI** , and other major AI players are **skipping internships and junior hires** altogether. At Microsoft Build 2025, it was revealed that many internal teams are now training large language models to handle onboarding, testing, and low-risk programming tasks autonomously.
In other words: **AI has become the new intern** —faster, cheaper, and available 24/7.
The math makes this trend hard to ignore. While a junior developer might earn $70,000+ annually, an AI coding agent costs as little as **$120 a year** , according to _Wired_. When margins matter, businesses are choosing software over salaries. | 9 hours ago | 9meters | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 13 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

By Steve Burns
June 17, 2025
Concerns about AI causing widespread job losses among middle-class, white-collar workers have become a major topic of discussion and media coverage in 2025, with significant increases in related search activity and public debate.
This surge in interest reflects growing public anxiety about artificial intelligence’s impact on professional employment. Industry leaders have issued increasingly stark warnings about AI’s potential to eliminate substantial white-collar positions.
The conversation has intensified as major technology companies continue advancing their AI capabilities while announcing workforce reductions. Social media discussions have amplified these concerns, with posts about AI job displacement regularly going viral across platforms like LinkedIn and X, creating a feedback loop of heightened awareness and anxiety about the future of professional work. Let’s explore this topic in depth.
## The White-Collar Automation Wave Has Arrived
Unlike previous waves of automation that primarily affected manufacturing and manual labor, artificial intelligence has reached a sophistication level that directly threatens cognitive work. Large language models and generative AI tools can now perform tasks that were previously considered uniquely human: writing reports, analyzing data, generating code, and conducting research.
Tools like ChatGPT can draft professional communications, while GitHub Copilot assists with software development, and various AI platforms handle customer service interactions with increasing sophistication.
This technological leap represents a fundamental shift from automating physical and intellectual processes. The current generation of AI systems can process information, recognize patterns, and generate outputs that closely mimic human cognitive work, making them viable replacements for many traditional white-collar functions across industries.
## Which Middle-Class Jobs Are Disappearing First
The impact of AI automation is being felt most acutely in specific categories of professional work. Customer service representatives are increasingly replaced by sophisticated chatbots that can handle complex inquiries and escalations.
Legal professionals, particularly paralegals and junior associates, find their research and document review tasks automated by AI systems. Data analysts face competition from AI tools that can process datasets and generate insights with minimal human intervention.
Junior software developers encounter AI coding assistants who can independently write substantial portions of code. Marketing professionals see AI handling content creation, social media management, and fundamental campaign analysis. Administrative roles across various industries are consolidated as AI handles scheduling, data entry, and routine correspondence tasks that previously required human attention and decision-making.
## The Middle-Class Squeeze: Why These Job Losses Hit Differently
The displacement of white-collar jobs carries unique social and economic implications that distinguish it from previous automation waves. These positions traditionally provided the foundation of middle-class stability, offering predictable career progression, comprehensive benefits packages, and salaries that supported homeownership and family formation. Unlike factory jobs that were geographically concentrated, white-collar positions are distributed across communities nationwide, making their loss more broadly felt.
The affected workers typically invested significant time and money in education, following societal guidance that knowledge work would provide security against technological disruption. The psychological impact extends beyond individual financial concerns to challenge fundamental assumptions about the value of education and the promise of upward mobility through professional achievement. This creates economic hardship and an identity crisis for workers who build their self-worth around intellectual contributions.
## AI is Scaling Faster Than Workers Can Adapt
The rapid pace of AI implementation across industries has outstripped the ability of educational institutions and workforce development programs to provide adequate retraining opportunities.
Companies deploy AI solutions within months of development, while meaningful skill acquisition typically requires years of dedicated learning. Traditional higher education curricula lag behind technological developments, often teaching skills that may become obsolete before students graduate.
When they exist, corporate training programs frequently focus on basic digital literacy rather than the advanced technical or creative skills needed to work alongside AI systems. This timing mismatch creates a growing population of workers whose skills are becoming less relevant while lacking clear pathways to acquire new, AI-complementary abilities.
The challenge is compounded by the fact that many emerging roles require interdisciplinary knowledge that doesn’t fit neatly into existing educational frameworks.
## The Hidden Economics Behind AI-Driven Layoffs
Corporate adoption of AI technology is driven by compelling financial incentives that make workforce reduction attractive to business leaders and shareholders. AI systems typically require significant upfront investment but offer dramatically lower ongoing operational costs than human employees. Companies can eliminate salaries, benefits, office space, training costs, and management overhead associated with human workers.
These savings impact profit margins and stock valuations, creating pressure to accelerate AI implementation regardless of social consequences. The financial benefits are often immediate and measurable, while the costs of workforce displacement are externalized to individuals and communities.
This economic calculus encourages rapid adoption without consideration for transition support or alternative deployment strategies that might preserve employment while capturing efficiency gains.
## From Wall Street to Main Street: Historical Patterns Repeating
The current wave of AI-driven job displacement follows patterns established in previous automation cycles, particularly in financial services. Trading floors that once employed hundreds of specialists were transformed by electronic trading systems that could execute transactions faster and more accurately than human traders. Back-office operations in banks eliminated thousands of positions through automated processing systems.
These historical precedents demonstrate how technology can rapidly reshape entire industries, often eliminating middle-tier positions while concentrating remaining opportunities at the highest skill levels.
The pattern typically involves the initial automation of routine tasks, followed by more sophisticated systems that can handle complex decision-making, ultimately requiring fewer human workers to oversee operations. This progression suggests that AI displacement may be early, with more profound changes ahead.
## Media Amplification: How the Narrative Spread
Media coverage and social media engagement have significantly amplified the discussion about AI job displacement. Traditional news outlets regularly feature stories about AI capabilities and their potential impact on employment, often focusing on dramatic scenarios that capture the reader’s attention. Social media platforms have become venues for workers to share personal experiences with AI automation and job loss, creating viral content that reaches millions of users.
Professional networking sites showcase AI success stories and displacement concerns, contributing to widespread awareness and anxiety. YouTube videos, podcasts, and online forums provide platforms for extended discussions about AI’s implications, often featuring predictions and analyses that reach general audiences beyond expert communities. This media ecosystem has created a feedback loop where public interest drives more coverage, increasing awareness and concern.
## The Identity Crisis of Educated Workers
The threat of AI displacement has created profound psychological challenges for professionals who have invested heavily in their education and career development. Many middle-class workers pursued higher education based on societal promises that knowledge work would provide security and advancement opportunities—the prospect of AI replacing intellectual labor challenges fundamental assumptions about the value of education and human expertise.
This creates an identity crisis that extends beyond immediate employment concerns to question entire life choices and values. Workers who define themselves through professional accomplishments face uncertainty about their future relevance and contribution.
The situation is particularly challenging for mid-career professionals with specialized expertise who struggle to transition to entirely new fields. This psychological dimension of AI displacement may affect educational choices, career planning, and social mobility expectations.
## What the Data Shows: Separating Hype from Reality
While concerns about AI job displacement are widespread, the actual data presents a more complex picture. Employment statistics show continued job creation in many sectors, though the composition of available positions is changing. Some industries report difficulty finding qualified workers even as they implement AI technologies, suggesting that automation may create new types of work rather than simply eliminating jobs.
However, the transition period creates genuine hardship for displaced workers who may lack skills for emerging opportunities. The challenge lies in distinguishing between short-term displacement effects and long-term structural changes. Economic research suggests that while new technologies historically create more jobs than they eliminate, the benefits are often unevenly distributed and may take years to materialize for affected communities.
## The Counterargument: Is AI Really to Blame?
Some economists and analysts argue that current employment challenges in white-collar sectors may be attributed to factors beyond AI automation. Economic cycles, changes in consumer behavior, remote work impacts, and broader structural shifts in the economy all contribute to job market dynamics. Interest rate changes affect business investment and hiring decisions, while global economic uncertainty influences corporate planning.
Organizational restructuring and efficiency initiatives may reduce headcount independent of AI implementation. Additionally, some research suggests that AI is more likely to augment human work rather than replace it entirely, requiring workers to adapt their roles rather than lose them altogether. These perspectives emphasize the importance of considering multiple factors when analyzing employment trends and avoiding oversimplified explanations for complex economic phenomena.
## Conclusion
The concern that AI will cause a middle-class white-collar job disaster in 2025 reflects legitimate anxieties about rapid technological change and its impact on professional employment. While the full extent of AI’s long-term effects remains uncertain, the disruption creates real challenges for workers and communities.
The key to navigating this transition lies in developing your skills using AI prompting to become a much more valuable employee through productivity or using AI as a shortcut to launch and scale your own business.
The employment outcome will depend on business leaders’ choices in determining how AI integration proceeds and which employees bear the costs and benefits of this technological transformation. | 4 hours ago | New Trader U | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 14 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |
Future Jobs: Robots, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Platforms in East Asia and Pacific | https://www.worldbank.org/en/region/eap/publication/future-jobs | People in East Asia and Pacific (EAP) countries have prospered over the last few decades because of the growth in productive jobs. | ey insights & Data highlights
New technologies are affecting labor markets and the nature of work by displacing, augmenting or creating new tasks performed by workers.
Robots are displacing industrial workers in routine manual task occupations (e.g., assembly line operators).
AI threatens to displace services workers not only in routine tasks (e.g., risk assessors) but increasingly in nonroutine cognitive tasks (e.g., interpreters). AI-empowered robots could also impact workers in nonroutine manual occupations.
Both AI and digital platforms may lead to the creation of new tasks (e.g., AI-prompt engineers and cloud engineers).
Interact with the chart below by clicking on it to reveal the elements of the framework.
The task structure of jobs in EAP and advanced economies
The exposure (technical susceptibility) of jobs to new technologies in EAP countries differs from that in advanced economies.
Because EAP countries employ more people in occupations involving routine manual tasks and fewer people in cognitive tasks, they are more vulnerable than advanced countries to job displacement by industrial robots than to displacement by AI.

The labor market impacts of new technologies
The extent to which new technologies impact jobs depends not only on their technical feasibility but also on the economic viability of adopting the technologies. A specific technology is economically viable if the cost is lower than the benefit from adoption.
Robots
In the EAP region, as robots have become economically feasible, their adoption has led to an increase in overall manufacturing employment. This is because the higher productivity from adopting robots leads to increased scales of production that offset the labor displacing effects of automation.
But the impacts of robot adoption are being felt differently across population groups. For instance, between 2018 and 2022, robot adoption helped create jobs for an estimated 2 million (4.3 percent of) skilled formal workers but displaced an estimated 1.4 million (3.3 percent of) low-skilled formal workers in five Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries.

AI
While it is too early to assess the labor market effects, AI is likely to also have both displacement and augmentation effects across occupations. The EAP region may be relatively less exposed to the displacement effects, but is also be less well placed to benefit from AI.
Only about 10 percent of jobs in the EAP region involve tasks complementary to AI. This share is similar to that in other emerging economies, but much lower than the 30 percent share in advanced economies.
Exposure to AI is not uniform across workers. In EAP, women and better educated workers are more exposed to AI than men and the less educated workers.
Exposure to AI by demographics, EAP countries
Economy-wide impacts of technology adoption
To assess the overall impact of technology on jobs, it is essential to consider the interdependence and impact of technology choices across sectors. EAP resembles the rest of the world in the labor market impacts of agricultural mechanization, but the impacts of industrial robotization have so far been different.
Mechanization is associated with farm productivity gains and little change in the level of agriculture employment. While the share of farm employment has shrunk globally and in EAP countries, this decline is driven more by the pull of higher manufacturing wages than by mechanization’s labor displacement.
In contrast, the share of manufacturing employment globally rises in the early stage of robot adoption and then falls. Developing EAP countries have so far defied this pattern. The share of industrial employment has continued to rise even as countries deepen robot adoption.

June 03, 2025
Recent rapid improvements in the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) have raised concerns about these technologies’ impact on employment, specifically, the rollout of generative AI models such as ChatGPT that can create new work product from existing inputs.
Unease about new technologies displacing workers is not new. It can be traced back at least to the earliest days of automation during the Industrial Revolution. Technologies such as the steam engine and the dynamo inspired similar fears in their day, as did information technology when computers were first introduced.
But the jobs AI is expected to touch in the years to come are different from those impacted by previous waves of technological change.
The ultimate effects of AI on the workforce will depend on the extent to which AI augments (or complements) rather than automates (or substitutes for) workers’ tasks. Will this new technology aid workers or replace them?
To understand AI’s possible occupational implications, we explore the workforce effects of the last technological advance thought to put jobs at risk: computerization. We look at the impact on occupations believed vulnerable to computerization 10 years ago and what that analysis may say about job vulnerability to generative AI today.
First, computers loomed over occupations
Before the advent of AI, the main workforce concern was whether computerization would displace jobs. A widely cited University of Oxford study by Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne, first circulated in 2013, examined the susceptibility of different occupations to computerization. It ultimately determined that 47 percent of total U.S. employment was at risk in 2013.
The authors assigned a probability of computerization to each of 702 occupations. Jobs deemed most at risk included telemarketers, title examiners, sewer workers, mathematical technicians, insurance underwriters, watch repairers, cargo and freight agents, tax preparers, photographic process workers, new account clerks, library technicians and data entry keyers, all with a 99 percent likelihood of computerization.
Among those deemed least at risk were recreational therapists, occupational therapists, health care and social workers and choreographers. All had a less than a half-percent likelihood of computers taking over.
Move over, here comes AI
A decade later, with the November 2022 release of ChatGPT and subsequent rapid advance of generative AI since then (DeepSeek, Stargate, Manus, for example), AI has overtaken computers as a leading risk to long-standing occupations.
A recent study by Edward W. Felten, Manav Raj and Robert Seamans attempts to identify occupations most vulnerable to automation from generative AI from both the perspective of language modeling (learning language and creating sentences after analyzing huge amounts of existing text) and image generation (creating images based on assimilation of large data sets) in a similar fashion to the earlier work by Frey and Osborne. Both studies identify occupations by the same occupation codes, making these two measures easily comparable.
The AI study authors created two scales for automation risk: from language modeling and image generating AI, labeling hundreds of occupations accordingly. The jobs identified as most susceptible to automation by language modeling AI include telemarketers, many types of teachers, sociologists, political scientists and arbitrators.
The jobs identified as most susceptible to automation by image generating AI include interior designers, architects, chemical engineers, art directors, astronomers and mechanical drafters.
Computerization, AI threaten different jobs
Comparing the occupations thought to be most likely to be computerized a decade ago with those most likely to be automated by AI today, the lists vastly differ (apart from telemarketers).
The risks to specific occupations from earlier computerization and AI language modeling appear little correlated. The results for image-generating AI are similar. Today’s at-risk occupations aren’t the same ones threatened earlier.
Bureau of Labor Statistics offers 10-year employment projections
Every year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) issues 10-year projections of employment in detailed occupations. The most recent set of projections was published in August 2024 covering 2023 to 2033. The BLS assumes that “labor productivity and technological progress will be in line with the historical experience” but recognizes that recent AI advances could cause the future to differ greatly from the past. These projections have historically been fairly accurate.
We looked at previous projections to better understand when they proved more or less accurate amid major technological change. We asked whether there is any evidence that the BLS’ misses by occupation were somehow related to the susceptibility of that occupation to computerization, as estimated by Frey and Osborne. | 2 weeks ago | Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 16 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

Advances of AI chatbots like ChatGPT heighten concern, experts say.

Artificial intelligence could upend entry-level work as recent college graduates enter the job market, eliminating many positions at the bottom of the white-collar career ladder or at least reshaping them, some experts told ABC News.
Such forecasts follow yearslong advances in AI-fueled chatbots, and declarations from some company executives about the onset of AI automation.
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, which created an AI model called Claude, told Axios last week that technology could cut U.S. entry-level jobs by half within five years.
When Business Insider laid off 21% of its staff last week, CEO Barbara Ping said the company would go "all in on AI" in an effort to "scale and operate more efficiently."
Analysts who spoke to ABC News said AI could replace or reorient entry-level jobs in some white-collar fields targeted by college graduates, such as computer programming and law.
Current job woes for this cohort, they added, likely owe in part to economic conditions beyond technology. Many blue-collar and other hands-on jobs will remain largely untouched by AI, they said, noting that tech-savvy young workers may be best positioned to fill new jobs that do incorporate AI.
"We're in the flux of dramatic change," said Lynn Wu, a professor of operations, information and decisions at the University of Pennsylvania. "I sympathize with college graduates. In the short run, they may stay with mom and dad for a while. But in the long run, they'll be fine. They're AI natives."
Over the early months of 2025, the job market for recent college graduates "deteriorated noticeably," the New York Federal Reserve said in April. It did not provide a reason for the trend.
The unemployment rate for recent college graduates reached 5.8%, its highest level since 2021, while the underemployment rate soared above 40%, the New York Fed said.
Youth unemployment likely stems from trends in the broader economy rather than AI, Anu Madgavkar, the head of labor market research at the McKinsey Global Institute, told ABC News
The softening job market coincides with business uncertainty and gloomy economic forecasts elicited by President Donald Trump's tariff policy.
"It's not surprising we're seeing this unemployment for young people," Madgavkar said. "There is a lot of economic uncertainty."
Still, entry-level tasks in white collar professions stand at serious risk from AI, analysts said, pointing to the technology's capacity to perform written and computational tasks as opposed to manual work.

AI could replace work previously performed by low-level employees, such as legal assistants compiling relevant precedent for a case or computer programmers writing a basic set of code, Madgavkar said.
"Is the bleeding edge or the first type of work to be hit a little more skewed toward entry-level, more basic work getting automated right now? That's probably true," Madgavkar said. "You could have fewer people getting a foothold."
Speaking bluntly, Wu said: "The biggest problem is that the career ladder is being broken."
For the most part, however, Madgavkar said entry-level positions would change rather than disappear. Managers will prize problem-solving and analysis over tasks dependent on sheer effort, she added, noting the required set of skills will likely include a capacity to use AI.
"I don't think it means we'll have no demand for entry-level workers or massively less demand," Madgavakar said. "I just think expectations for young people to use these tools will accelerate very quickly."
Some jobs and tasks remain largely immune to AI automation, analysts said, pointing to hands-on work such as manual labor and trades, as well as professional roles like doctors and upper management.
Isabella Loaiza, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who studies AI and the workforce, co-authored a study examining the shift in jobs and tasks across the U.S. economy between 2016 and 2024.
Rather than dispense with qualities like critical thinking and empathy, workplace technology heightened the need for workers who exhibit those attributes, Loaiza said, citing demand for occupations like early-education teachers, home health aides and therapists.
"It is true we're seeing AI having an impact on white-collar work instead of more blue-collar work," Loaiza said.
But, she added, "We found that jobs that are very human-intensive are probably more robust." | 1 week ago | ABC News | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 17 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |
Artificial intelligence and the future of work: Will AI replace our jobs? | https://unric.org/en/artificial-intelligence-and-the-future-of-work-will-ai-replace-our-jobs/ | WJe spoke to Janine Berg, Senior Economist at the ILO, on how A.I. might affect the world of work, including job creation and displacement. | Artificial intelligence and the future of work: Will AI replace our jobs?
As A.I. technologies rapidly emerge, their impact on the job market raises many questions. Although some might fear a looming “jobs apocalypse,” the International Labour Organization (ILO) gives a more nuanced perspective. Certain tasks are more difficult to automate, and new technologies create new opportunities.
UNRIC spoke to Janine Berg, Senior Economist at the ILO, on how A.I. might affect the world of work, including job creation and displacement, as well as its impact on regions and genders. This article explores the potential dangers and advantages that A.I. brings to the workplace and how best to prepare the workforce for an AI-driven future.
How will A.I. impact the job market in the coming years? What opportunities and challenges will A.I. bring in terms of job creation and displacement?
It’s very difficult to predict what will happen in the future, not least because technology continues to evolve. ILO research does not suggest that there will be a “jobs apocalypse”. There are many tasks that A.I. cannot replace or where it would not be cost-effective to replace a human. Many occupations deemed “essential” during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as emergency medical technicians or food preparers, involve jobs that cannot be automated.
ILO research on the effects of generative A.I. on the labour market finds that at most 2.3% of jobs across the world have the potential to be fully automated. Moreover, this 2.3% does not account for the many jobs that will be created thanks to new technology. Twenty years ago, there were no social media managers; thirty years ago, there were few web designers. No amount of data modelling would have predicted the vast array of occupations that have emerged in recent decades. Just think of the video rental stores that existed 25 years ago and how they have given way to cell phone repair stores.
We should also remember that many systems that appear automated are not, with human labour working in the background, often under poor conditions. This is true of A.I., which relies on millions of human labourers to train and verify data. In other cases, paid staff are replaced by the unpaid labour of customers, for example, through self-checkout machines in grocery stores.
Will the impact of A.I. on jobs be balanced between different regions and genders?
While the potential for job displacement from A.I. is not huge, it is concentrated. Our analysis finds that clerical support workers are most exposed to generative A.I. technology, with 58% of tasks in this occupation having medium-level exposure and 24% having high-level exposure. This stands in contrast to other occupational groups, in which the largest share of highly exposed tasks oscillates between 1% and 4%, and medium-exposed tasks do not exceed 25%. As women are over-represented in clerical jobs, they are more affected by the potential effects of automation. According to our analysis, the potential impact on women is roughly 2.5 times greater than on men. We estimate that 1.4% of men’s jobs globally have the potential to be automated, compared with 3.7% of women’s employment. In high-income countries, where clerical jobs make up a greater proportion of occupations, the effects are more striking: 2.9% of men’s jobs compared with 7.8% of women’s jobs.
Another imbalance concerns the potential benefits of A.I. between rich and poor countries. ILO research indicates that many occupations could benefit from A.I., for example, by replacing mundane tasks and freeing time for more creative and interpersonal work. But these productivity gains depend on having the physical infrastructure and digital skills in place, which many parts of the developing world currently lack.
In a recent ILO study by my colleague, Pawel Gmyrek, co-authored with Herman Winkler of the World Bank, they assessed how many jobs that could be “augmented” through generative A.I. currently use a computer at work. They found that in Latin America, nearly half of the occupations that could potentially benefit from A.I. augmentation do not use a computer at work. In contrast, jobs that are at risk of automation tend to already use computers, suggesting that the potential negative effects may appear sooner.
How can governments and organizations prepare the workforce for the changes brought by A.I. technologies?
It benefits both business and workers when employees are engaged in the process of technological integration. Workers know their jobs best and can provide insight and feedback on which tools could better support their work, which tasks could be automated, and what training is needed. Problems often arise when technology is deployed without worker involvement, both in terms of the technology not working well and because it diminishes workers’ sense of purpose and commitment to the firm.
The best approach is to integrate technology through social dialogue between employers and workers, and their representatives. This can occur through formal settings, such as works councils or collective bargaining agreements, or more informally, in workplaces with a high degree of employee engagement, such as organizations that support teamwork, problem-solving and decentralized decision-making. Studies on Europe have shown that it is the countries with stronger and more cooperative forms of workplace consultation, essentially the Nordic countries, followed by Germany, where workers are more open to technological adoption.
Social dialogue is essential to manage all the implications that new technologies, including A.I., can bring about in workplaces and the labour market more broadly. It is crucial to mitigate technological unemployment, as it encourages redeployment and training over job loss, as well as for integrating technology into the workplace, to ensure that it is done in a way that benefits both firm productivity and job quality. Social dialogue is also vital for designing skills programmes that can train workers for new career opportunities, and for ensuring that the skills programmes undertaken are well-suited to the demands of the labour market.
What policies or measures should be put in place to ensure a smooth transition in the labour market as A.I. advances?
I already mentioned that social dialogue is key to managing the transition. Another concern is the global A.I. or digital divide. We need to ensure that the many dimensions of A.I. governance are addressed through international governance. In our recent joint report with the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology, Mind the A.I. Divide, we proposed three key policy pillars to address these challenges and harness the development potential of A.I.
First, strengthening international cooperation on A.I. is crucial. To close the A.I. divide, we must foster a global network for knowledge-sharing and establish joint training initiatives. By building collaborative research partnerships and ensuring equitable access to A.I. resources, we can help all nations, particularly developing ones, to benefit from A.I. advancements fully.
Second, building national A.I. capacity is essential. Countries need to make significant investments in education and digital infrastructure. This includes integrating A.I. and data science into educational curricula and ensuring that A.I. tools are widely accessible. National policies should promote human-centred A.I. development, ensuring privacy, safety, and workers’ rights are protected.
Third, integrating A.I. positively into the world of work is vital. This involves ensuring that A.I. contributes to creating decent work opportunities and supporting workers’ reskilling efforts. It also requires addressing gender- and youth-specific challenges. Crucially, social dialogue should play a key role in managing A.I.’s integration into the workplace, ensuring that the voices of workers are heard, and that A.I. enhances rather than diminishes job quality.

A United Nations agency has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could impact up to 40% of jobs worldwide in the next decade.
The warning comes as businesses and governments are increasingly looking to AI to automate tasks and increase efficiency.
However, the UN's International Labour Organization (ILO) has cautioned that this could lead to significant job losses, particularly in sectors where tasks are repetitive or can be easily automated.
The ILO has called for governments and businesses to take steps to mitigate the impact of AI on employment, including providing training and support for workers who may be displaced by automation.
The warning is the latest in a series of concerns raised about the impact of AI on employment, with some experts warning that up to 50% of jobs could be automated in the next few decades.
However, others have argued that while AI may automate some tasks, it will also create new job opportunities in fields such as AI development and maintenance.
The ILO has said that it is working with governments and businesses to develop strategies to address the impact of AI on employment, and to ensure that the benefits of automation are shared fairly among workers and societies. | 2 months ago | Euronews.com | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 19 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

“Breaking first is the bottom rung of the career ladder,” said LinkedIn's chief economic opportunity officer, Aneesh Raman.

LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer, Aneesh Raman, said artificial intelligence is increasingly threatening the types of jobs that historically have served as stepping stones for young workers who are just beginning their careers. He likened the disruption to the decline of manufacturing in the 1980s.
As millions of students get ready to graduate this spring, their prospects for landing that first job that helps launch their careers is looking dimmer.
In addition to an economy that’s slowing amid tariff-induced uncertainty, artificial intelligence is threatening entry-level work that traditionally has served as stepping stones, according to LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer, Aneesh Raman, who likened the shift to the decline of manufacturing in the 1980s.
“Now it is our office workers who are staring down the same kind of technological and economic disruption,” he wrote in a recent New York Times op-ed. “Breaking first is the bottom rung of the career ladder.”
For example, AI tools are doing the types of simple coding and debugging tasks that junior software developers did to gain experience. AI is also doing work that young employees in the legal and retail sectors once did. And Wall Street firms are reportedly considering steep cuts to entry-level hiring.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for college graduates has been rising faster than for other workers in past few years, Raman pointed out, though there isn’t definitive evidence yet that AI is the cause of the weak job market.
To be sure, businesses aren’t doing away with entry-level work altogether, as executives still seek fresh ideas from young workers, he added. AI has also freed up some junior employees to take on more advanced work earlier in their careers.
But changes rippling through certain sectors today are likely heading for others in the future, with office jobs due to feel the biggest impact, Raman predicted.
“While the technology sector is feeling the first waves of change, reflecting A.I.’s mass adoption in this field, the erosion of traditional entry-level tasks is expected to play out in fields like finance, travel, food and professional services, too,” he said.
To fix entry-level work, Raman called for colleges to incorporate AI across their curricula and for companies to give junior roles higher-level tasks.
There are some signs that companies are adapting to the new AI landscape. Jasper.ai CEO Timothy Young told Fortune’s Diane Brady recently that “the commoditization of intelligence” means hiring the smartest people is less important than developing staff to have management skills.
“There is a lot of power in the junior employees, but you can’t leverage them the same way that you would in the past,” he said, noting that he looks for curiosity and resilience when hiring.
Indeed CEO Chris Hyams said at Fortune’s Workplace Innovation Summit in Dana Point, Calif. on Monday that AI can’t completely replace a job.
But Indeed’s findings show that “for about two-thirds of all jobs, 50% or more of those skills are things that today’s generative AI can do reasonably well, or very well.”
Still, language-learning app Duolingo and fintech app Klarna have recently walked back aggressive stances on replacing humans with AI.
Some studies have also shown AI isn’t panning out as much as hoped, so far. An IBM survey found that 3 in 4 AI initiatives fail to deliver their promised ROI. And a National Bureau of Economic Research study of workers in AI-exposed industries found that the technology had next to no impact on earnings or hours worked.
“It seems it’s a much smaller and much slower transition than you might imagine if you had just studied the technology’s potential in a vacuum,” University of Chicago economics professor Anders Humlum, one of the NBER study authors, previously told Fortune. | 3 weeks ago | Fortune | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 20 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

## The future is here, and it requires robust AI literacy and support for workers and families

Brent is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), specializing in job training and workforce development.
Artificial intelligence development and deployment is accelerating, and so are the ironies. A recent report by Great Learning found that a growing number of Indian engineers — a group deeply involved in creating and deploying AI — are pessimistic about how it will affect their careers. Far from irrational pessimism, this is an early indicator of what my recent research calls the “de-skilling” of the knowledge economy — AI’s slow but accelerating erosion of middle-skill technical and cognitive work.
The concern Indian engineers express is increasingly visible across global labor markets. U.S. labor unions are calling for AI legal protections. Fast food chains are testing AI-driven voice ordering and robotic kitchen equipment that could displace thousands of teenage and other entry-level workers. The technologies that seem novel today are rapidly becoming commonplace, creating broad unease about the future of work.
While production workers are not exempt from AI impacts, the most exposed jobs are held by millions working in middle-skill, middle-income “knowledge” economy jobs. Many of these jobs are made up of the types of tasks that are especially well suited to AI automation because, like the factory jobs of the past, they are repetitive, “codable” and subject to technological substitution.
The compression of middle-skill employment is already visible in sectors like software development. Routine front-end coding tasks are increasingly being handled by generative AI. More experienced coders — those who can manage complex system integration and lead cross-functional teams — are still in demand. But the base of the coding professional pyramid is narrowing. This is classic skills-biased technological change: those with the right combination of technical and noncognitive skills benefit greatly, others must reskill, and many are squeezed out of their current jobs altogether.
“Workers need to know that, as a society, we have their backs if AI displaces them. If we fail to prepare, we are inviting even more of the economic and social turmoil that we’ve experienced in the past decade.”
What’s striking in the new reports is how widespread the effects are becoming. In fast food, AI is reducing the need for human cashiers and kitchen staff — roles traditionally filled by young people seeking their first work experience. These aren’t knowledge economy jobs per se, but they serve as training grounds for “master skills” — like teamwork, time management and communication — that future AI-enhanced jobs increasingly demand.
As AI systems become capable of handling not just repetitive tasks but also judgment-heavy work like customer service, legal document review and financial risk analysis, even highly credentialed professionals are exposed. Automating brain work is likely to have effects similar to automating “muscle” work. Productivity growth means we will still need workers, but those workers will need a different blend of technological and human-facing capabilities.
The extreme uncertainty we face means starting now in designing an automation adjustment assistance system with the scale and flexibility required for potentially sweeping labor market changes. As I will outline in a forthcoming report, such a system would have four core elements: better jobs data, worker-controlled transition support, broad AI literacy programs and, as a hedge for the future, greater investment in child, family and community stability.
Our existing “rearview mirror” labor market information systems need recalibration toward understanding the impact of technological change. Without locally and regionally focused “headlight” data, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to effectively target re-skilling and education investments. When it comes to AI impacts, harnessing the power of predictive analytics is the foundation for finding and supporting the workers most exposed to automation.
A second key need is to develop more flexible and worker-driven employment transition systems. Tools like Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) can empower workers to choose their own upskilling pathways, while a reimagined version of Trade Adjustment Assistance — tailored for the effects of automation — could offer broader, more effective transition support that would cushion change for those in need of long-term reskilling.
AI literacy is also critical in the same way reading and math are. This means integrating exposure to AI tools and concepts into K-12 education, higher ed, corporate retraining programs and workforce development.
Crucially, we need to invest in people to build the human attributes required for learning and work in an AI-driven economy. The challenge is that these skills — sometimes referred to as noncognitive or soft skills — are often shaped very early in life. That means increasing investment in family stability, early childhood development and other initiatives that promote healthy communities.
We’ve seen this movie before in the automation revolution of the past 40 years. Workers need to know that, as a society, we have their backs if AI displaces them. If we fail to prepare, we are inviting even more of the economic and social turmoil that we’ve experienced in the past decade. And, this time, we will have only ourselves to blame. | 5 days ago | Deseret News | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 21 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and generative AI (GenAI), is reshaping industries, creating new economic opportunities, and raising critical questions about its long-term impact on jobs and economic growth.
A recent study by Ping Wang and Tsz-Nga Wong, titled “ _Artificial Intelligence and Technological Unemployment”_ ([NBER Working Paper No. 33867](http://www.nber.org/papers/w33867), May 2025), provides valuable insights into how AI is reshaping labor markets. Their research highlights both the opportunities and challenges AI adoption brings to the workforce as it becomes increasingly integrated into the economy.
The paper conceptualizes AI as a “learning-by-using” technology, meaning that AI improves its capabilities by learning from the very workers it may eventually replace. In the short term, this dynamic can significantly boost labor productivity. However, over time, if wages and job roles are not adjusted to reflect the growing capabilities of AI, the technology may transition from a supportive tool to a direct substitute for human labor.
The paper outlines three possible long-term scenarios:
1. **Some-AI Steady State** : AI improves productivity threefold but cuts nearly a quarter of jobs. Half of the job losses occur within the first five years, driven by the rapid replacement of workers by an AI system.
2. **Unbounded-AI Equilibrium** : AI adoption unfolds smoothly, enhancing productivity without displacing workers. Employment rises modestly as AI becomes a complement to human labor rather than a substitute.
3. **No AI Equilibrium** : AI fails to take off, and the labor market remains largely unchanged from its traditional form.
AI presents a dual-edged sword. While it holds the potential to drive sustained growth and create new kinds of work, it also poses significant risks of job displacement. Early stages of AI adoption see the most significant job losses, while those who keep their jobs often see wage increases due to higher productivity.
The authors emphasize that the long-term impact of AI remains uncertain. Outcomes will depend on several variables, including AI’s learning speed, error rates, and the relative cost of replacing workers with machines. This unpredictability makes it difficult to forecast whether AI will be a net job creator or destroyer over time.
Additionally, the study points out that traditional labor market policies are insufficient to address the complex challenges posed by AI. Instead, smart, targeted policies are needed, like balancing the bargaining power between workers and firms, and offering subsidies to jobs at risk of AI disruption. These steps could mitigate negative outcomes and improve overall welfare significantly over the next 20 years, and help make AI a powerful ally in our work rather than a threat.
### **The Impact of AI on the Home Building Industry: Opportunities and Challenges**
In the home building industry, on the supply side, AI is beginning to make its mark with both significant opportunities and complex challenges.
From automating repetitive tasks to enhancing project efficiency, AI is transforming how homes are designed and built. Technologies, such as AI-powered design tools, robotic bricklayers, and automated construction equipment, are streamlining construction processes. These innovations reduce the need for manual labor in certain areas, leading to lower costs and shorter project timelines and helping address ongoing labor shortages. Moreover, AI is creating new opportunities within the home building sector. Demand is rising for workers skilled in AI system management, data analysis, and digital design, signaling a shift toward more technologically integrated and highly skilled roles.
However, the adoption of AI comes with disruption. Without opportunities for reskilling, many workers whose roles may become automated may face displacement. The shortage of highly skilled workers could drive up labor costs and lead to project delays, putting pressure on housing affordability.
To ensure a smooth transformation, targeted policy support is essential. Public and private investment in workforce retraining and upskilling programs will be key to helping displaced workers adapt to new roles, like ones that involve supervising AI systems or solving complex problems machines can’t yet handle.
On the demand side of the housing market, the impact of AI could potentially be farther-reaching. AI will bring short-term disruption to labor markets, eliminating office jobs in metro areas. Such transitions in labor markets will alter housing demand, until the economy produces new jobs in an AI-adopting economy. And in theory, by making workers more productive, AI will raise long-term wage growth. These income gains will be a positive outcome for remodeling, housing demand, and vacation home demand in long run.
For the time being, these impacts are speculative. Over time, they will be worth watching on both the supply and demand sides of the housing market.

By Amiya Johar
June 16, 2025
BT Group CEO Allison Kirkby signalled more job cuts than originally forecast could be on the horizon as AI continues to reshape the operator’s overriding strategy, Financial Times (FT) reported.
In an interview, Kirkby said the company’s current cost-cutting plan, which could see more than 40,000 job cuts and result in £3 billion in savings by 2030, may not account for the full impact of AI.
“Depending on what we learn from AI… there may be an opportunity for BT to be even smaller by the end of the decade,” she explained.
The operator originally announced a plan in 2023 to cut up to 55,000 jobs under former chief Philip Jansen. Since taking the helm in 2024, Kirkby has pushed the strategy and led a renewed focus on the UK, offloading its Italian unit and wholesale and enterprise business in the Republic of Ireland.
Last month, BT carved out its global operations into a separate unit to bolster its non-UK enterprise business, with sources telling the FT that the company is open to offers for the entire division.
Kirkby’s efforts have been well received; BT’s stock climbed 65 per cent since she assumed leadership, boosted by support from key investors including Bharti Airtel-owner Sunil Mittal, who holds a 24.5 per cent stake.
In the interview, Kirkby also teased a possible spin-off of Openreach, BT’s infrastructure arm once its full fibre build is complete. BT expects Openreach to reach 25 million homes by 2026, slowing to 1 million per year after that, with a target of reaching 30 million by 2030. However, the chief stated she would rather see the network’s value recognised in BT’s share price than separate it from the company.
To this end, the CEO plans to use market disruption from the recent VodafoneThree merger to strengthen BT’s retail brands, EE and Plusnet. She also outlined plans to explore partnerships with alternative networks in areas where Openreach rollout is not commercially viable.
Speaking on the wider UK business climate, Kirkby warned rising employer national insurance payments could cost the company more than £100 million, adding that “the last thing we all need is to be further taxed.” | 1 day ago | Mobile World Live | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 23 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

The CEO of British telecom giant BT has warned that AI may lead to further cuts at the firm.
BT announced plans in 2023 to cut up to 55,000 jobs by 2030.
CEO Allison Kirkby told the FT that such proposals "did not reflect the full potential of AI."
Executives warning of the potential impact of artificial intelligence on white-collar jobs is becoming an increasingly familiar tale.
The latest is Allison Kirkby, the CEO of British telecommunications giant BT. In an interview with the Financial Times published Sunday, Kirkby said that advancements in AI technology could lead to further cuts at the firm.
BT announced in 2023 plans to cut up to 55,000 jobs by 2030 as part of a push to reduce its cost base by the end of the decade.
But Kirkby told the FT that this plan "did not reflect" AI's "full potential."
"Depending on what we learn from AI ... there may be an opportunity for BT to be even smaller by the end of the decade," she said.
BT has turned to AI in recent years to reinvent processes in areas like customer service.
The company announced in 2024 that it was using generative AI to aid sales and support operations across BT and EE, its mobile network division. In December, the firm said that EE's virtual assistant, dubbed "Aimee," was handling up to 60,000 customer conversations a week.
BT is not alone in its attempts to automate such tasks. Swedish payments company Klarna has been open about its efforts to use AI to run its customer service desks.
In 2024, Klarna said its OpenAI-powered AI assistant was carrying out the work of 700 full-time customer service agents.
The firm's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, has been a strong advocate of AI but has since softened his position on the tech, saying in May that certain cost-cutting efforts had gone too far and that Klarna was now recruiting for its customer service operation, Bloomberg reported.
But Siemiatkowski has remained confident that AI poses a major threat to white-collar jobs going forward.
Speaking on The Times Tech podcast earlier this month, Siemiatkowski said that the technology had played a major role in "efficiency gains" at Klarna and that its workforce had reduced from about 5,500 to 3,000 people in the last two years as a result.
"My suspicion again is that there will be an implication for white-collar jobs, and when that happens, that usually leads to at least a recession in the short term," he added. "Unfortunately, I don't see how we could avoid that, with what's happening from a technology perspective."
AI companies themselves have sounded the alarm that their product could significantly impact the job market.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently warned that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years.
"We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming," Amodei told Axios in May. "I don't think this is on people's radar. | 1 day ago | Business Insider | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 24 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

Gabriel Demombynes, Jörg Langbein, Michael Weber
February 18, 2025
A recent paper shows that jobs in low-income countries are less likely to be affected by AI than jobs in high-income countries. Artificial intelligence is transforming the global workforce, but its impact may not affect all regions equally. Much of the conversation about AI and jobs focuses on high-income countries—where the technology threatens to reshape entire industries. But what will AI mean for workers in developing nations, who constitute 80 percent of the global workforce?
To better understand AI’s labor market impact in the developing world, we analyzed data from 25 countries, covering a population of 3.5 billion people. For workers in those countries, we assessed the level of AI exposure, which captures to what extent their jobs could be performed using AI. Our findings suggest that AI’s effects on jobs will be more gradual in the Global South, particularly in low-income countries.
AI exposure differs by income level. There is considerable variation in the exposure of jobs to AI: some occupations, like roofers, have very low exposure, meaning AI is unlikely to affect their tasks. At the other extreme, jobs like payroll clerks face high exposure, indicating that AI could significantly change how they operate. Globally, the greatest concentration of workers is in occupations with medium-low levels of AI exposure, such as motor vehicle mechanics.
A key takeaway from our analysis is that workers in low-income countries experience significantly lower AI exposure than those in high-income countries, with middle-income countries falling in between. This is partly due to a different labor market structure in developing countries with more jobs involving manual labor or interpersonal interaction. These types of jobs are less amenable to the changes brought about by AI. We also show that lack of access to electricity and internet further limits exposure particularly in low-income countries.
Our research also highlights demographic differences: women tend to have higher AI exposure than men—but only in high and upper-middle-income countries. Meanwhile, unlike in wealthier nations, where older workers are the most exposed to AI disruption, age-related differences in AI exposure are minimal in developing economies.
To calculate our measure of AI exposure, we start with the set of tasks which make up each job. Next, drawing from previous work, we assign an AI exposure level to each task. Then we aggregate to get the AI exposure value for each job. Finally, we map the AI exposure by job to each individual worker in labor force survey data from around the globe.
It is important to clarify that AI exposure does not necessarily mean that a task—or an entire job—will be replaced. Exposure could mean three things: automation, augmentation, or job restructuring. In practice, all three of these forces will likely play out differently across various sectors and economies. AI could also create entirely new job categories that we have yet to envision.
Despite this uncertainty, our findings offer a grounded prediction: AI’s impact on jobs will be more muted and slower to materialize in many developing countries—especially in regions where consistent access to electricity or internet remains limited.
Given these insights, what steps can policymakers take to ensure that AI benefits workers in developing economies rather than bypassing them? Expand digital and energy infrastructure, prioritize AI augmentation over automation, and leverage AI for healthcare and education.
While AI is transforming the global economy, its impact will not be uniform. In many developing nations, the disruption will come at a slower pace—offering a unique window of opportunity for governments and businesses to shape AI’s role in the workforce. With proactive policies, these countries can harness AI to empower workers rather than displace them. | 3 months ago | World Bank Blogs | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 25 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |
MIT Researchers Reveal AI’s Good And Bad Impact On Jobs And Skills | https://www.forbes.com/sites/dianehamilton/2025/03/01/mit-researchers-reveal-ais-good-and-bad-impact-on-jobs-and-skills/ | MIT researchers reveal AI's good and bad impact on jobs and skills, highlighting how it reshapes the workforce in ways we might not expect. | MIT Researchers Reveal AI’s Good and Bad Impact on Jobs and SkillsgettyAI is reshaping how businesses function, but the real question is not
whether AI will take over jobs. The real question is how it will change
them. I recently took a class at MIT, where Thomas Malone and Danielle Li
shared research that goes beyond the usual AI hype. Their insights
challenged common assumptions about AI’s role in the workplace, offering a
more interesting and, at times, unexpected perspective. MIT researchers
reveal AI’s good and bad impact on jobs and skills, highlighting how it
reshapes the workforce in ways we might not expect.Does AI Help Less-Skilled Workers More Than Highly Skilled Workers?gettyDoes AI Help Less-Skilled Workers More Than Highly Skilled Workers?One of the most surprising findings Danielle Li presented was that AI
dramatically helps lower-skilled workers, but it does not do much for
high-skilled ones. She referenced her study that tracked how AI tools
affected workplace performance. Her results found that employees who
struggled in their roles saw major improvements when using AI, while top
performers sometimes got worse. The reason? High-skilled workers relied on
AI’s quick suggestions instead of using their expertise, leading to
responses that were just ‘good enough’ rather than great.That raises an important question. If AI lifts the performance of
lower-skilled employees while making highly skilled ones complacent, what
happens to deep expertise over time? Li emphasized that AI reshapes the
playing field. Companies need to think carefully about how they use AI, or
they risk losing the very knowledge that once set them apart.Will AI Replace Customer Service Jobs?gettyMORE FOR YOUWill AI Replace Customer Service Jobs?The conversation about AI and job loss is nothing new, but the research
shared in class suggested a more complex story. AI is automating many
routine customer service tasks, reducing the need for human intervention.
That does not mean jobs will disappear, but they will change.Li explained that AI can make customer service more efficient, reducing the
number of human workers needed. But there is another possibility. If AI
improves the experience so much that customers reach out more often, the
demand for human service agents could grow. Instead of handling basic
troubleshooting, employees might shift to a more strategic role—using
AI-driven insights to improve products, spot trends, and create stronger
customer relationships.In this scenario, AI does not eliminate customer service jobs. It turns
them into something new. The companies that succeed will be the ones that
rethink these roles rather than cutting them altogether. function loadConnatixScript(document) { if (!window.cnxel) { window.cnxel

idea? Li warned against the fear of missing out (FOMO) that leads
businesses to adopt AI without a clear strategy. Some companies assume that
because AI is everywhere, they need to implement it immediately or risk
falling behind.But here is the problem. If everyone is using AI in the same way, does it
really give a competitive advantage? Li pointed to industries like
pharmaceuticals, where AI is widely used to guide drug development. If
every company is following AI’s recommendations based on the same publicly
available data, they may all chase the same ideas. That could lead to fewer
breakthroughs, not more.Therefore, AI should be a tool that amplifies a company’s strengths, not
just something to check off a to-do list. The best AI strategies are the
ones that align with a business’s unique goals rather than following what
everyone else is doing.Does AI Make Work More Satisfying?gettyDoes AI Make Work More Satisfying?One of the most interesting discussions was about AI’s effect on job
satisfaction. Many employees using AI report that they feel less stressed
and more productive. AI can handle repetitive, frustrating tasks, freeing
people to focus on work that feels more meaningful.But there is a flip side. If AI takes over too much, some employees might
feel like their jobs are becoming robotic. If AI makes everything too
streamlined, will workers feel less valued? Li’s research suggests that
companies need to strike a balance. The goal should not be just
efficiency—it should be making work better. AI should help people do their
jobs, not strip them of the parts that make their roles interesting.How Can A Culture of Curiosity Shape AI’s Impact On The Workplace?gettyHow Can A Culture of Curiosity Shape AI’s Impact On The Workplace?A culture of curiosity is the key to making AI a tool for growth rather
than a shortcut to complacency. If employees are encouraged to question
AI’s outputs and think critically about its role, they are less likely to
rely on it passively and more likely to use it to enhance their expertise.
In customer service, for example, AI can handle routine tasks, but curious
employees will look for ways to use AI-driven insights to improve
relationships and solve more complex problems. The same applies to AI
adoption—companies that encourage curiosity do not just implement AI
because everyone else is doing it; they explore how it aligns with their
unique strengths. AI is changing work, but curiosity determines whether
that change leads to innovation or stagnation.The Future of AI in the WorkplacegettyThe Future of AI in the WorkplaceThis MIT course reinforced something I have always believed: curiosity is
essential when navigating change. AI is not going away, and leaders must
ask the right questions. How will AI reshape their workforce? How can they
use it in a way that strengthens their company? And most importantly, how
can they make sure AI enhances human expertise rather than diminishing it?
MIT researchers reveal AI’s good and bad impact on jobs and skills, making
it clear that AI is not just about automation. It is about augmentation.
Companies that use AI to empower employees rather than replace them will be
the ones that thrive in the years ahead. | 3 months ago | Forbes | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 26 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

New data confirms it: Companies are hiring less in roles that AI can do
Aki Ito
2025-06-02T08:04:01Z
In March, Shopify's CEO told his managers he was implementing a new rule: Before asking for more head count, they had to prove that AI couldn't do the job as well as a human would. A few weeks later, Duolingo's CEO announced a similar decree and went even further — saying the company would gradually phase out contractors and replace them with AI. The announcements matched what I've been hearing in my own conversations with employers: Because of AI, they are hiring less than before.
When I first started reporting on ChatGPT's impact on the labor market, I thought it would take many years for AI to meaningfully reshape the job landscape. But in recent months, I've found myself wondering if the AI revolution has already arrived. To answer that question, I asked Revelio Labs, an analytics provider that aggregates huge reams of workforce data from across the internet, to see if it could tell which jobs are already being replaced by AI. Not in some hypothetical future, but right now — today.
Zanele Munyikwa, an economist at Revelio Labs, started by looking at the job descriptions in online postings and identifying the listed responsibilities that AI can already perform or augment. She found that over the past three years, the share of AI-doable tasks in online job postings has declined by 19%. After further analysis, she reached a startling conclusion: The vast majority of the drop took place because companies are hiring fewer people in roles that AI can do.
Next, Munyikwa segmented all the occupations into three buckets: those with a lot of AI-doable tasks (high-exposure roles), those with relatively few AI-doable tasks (low-exposure roles), and those in between. Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in 2022, she found, there has been a decline in job openings across the board. But the hiring downturn has been steeper for high-exposure roles (31%) than for low-exposure roles (25%). In short, jobs that AI can perform are disappearing from job boards faster than those that AI can't handle.
Which jobs have the most exposure to AI? Those that handle a lot of tech functions: database administrators, IT specialists, information security, and data engineers. The jobs with the lowest exposure to AI, by contrast, are in-person roles like restaurant managers, foremen, and mechanics.
This isn't the first analysis to show the early impact of AI on the labor market. In 2023, a group of researchers at Washington University and New York University homed in on a set of professionals who are particularly vulnerable: freelancers in writing-related occupations. After the introduction of ChatGPT, the number of jobs in those fields dropped by 2% on the freelancing platform Upwork — and monthly earnings declined by 5.2%. "In the short term," the researchers wrote, "generative AI reduces overall demand for knowledge workers of all types."
At Revelio Labs, Munyikwa is careful about expanding on the implications of her own findings. It's unclear, she says, if AI in its current iteration is actually capable of doing all the white-collar work that employers think it can. It could be that CEOs at companies like Shopify and Duolingo will wake up one day and discover that hiring less for AI-exposed roles was a bad move. Will it affect the quality of the work or the creativity of employees — and, ultimately, the bottom line? The answer will determine how enduring the AI hiring standstill will prove to be in the years ahead.
Some companies already appear to be doing an about-face on their AI optimism. Last year, the fintech company Klarna boasted that its investment in artificial intelligence had enabled it to put a freeze on human hiring. An AI assistant, it reported, was doing "the equivalent work of 700 full-time agents." But in recent months, Klarna has changed its tune. It has started hiring human agents again, acknowledging that its AI-driven cost-cutting push led to "lower quality."
"It's so critical that you are clear to your customer that there will always be a human," CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski told Bloomberg. "Really investing in the quality of the human support is the way of the future for us."
Will there be more chastened Siemiatkowskis in the months and years ahead? I'm not betting on it. All across tech, chief executives share an almost religious fervor to have fewer employees around — employees who complain and get demotivated and need breaks in all the ways AI doesn't. At the same time, the AI tools at our disposal are getting better and better every month, enabling companies to shed employees. As long as that's the case, I'm not sure white-collar occupations face an optimistic future.
Even Siemiatkowski still says he expects to reduce his workforce by another 500 through attrition in the coming year. And when Klarna's technology improves enough, he predicts, he'll be able to downsize at an even faster pace. Asked when that point will come, he replied: "I think it's very likely within 12 months."

Geoffrey Hinton, the AI Godfather, shares job security advice. He suggests plumbing as a safe career in the age of automation. Hinton highlights AI's limitations in physical tasks. He notes AI excels at thinking, not fixing. Hinton expresses concern about AI's potential impact on jobs. He points out the risk of growing inequality due to AI adoption.
AI godfather Geoffrey Hinton’s chilling warning
In a world moving quickly toward automation, one of the creators of modern artificial intelligence is raising serious concerns about what happens next. Geoffrey Hinton, the British-Canadian computer scientist often called the “Godfather of AI,” has made a rare public statement about what kinds of jobs are most at risk—and which ones might survive.
Hinton, who helped lay the foundation for AI systems that now power everything from chatbots to medical tools, left his role at Google in 2023. Since then, he’s been speaking more freely about the risks of the technology he helped create. In a recent interview on The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett, Hinton discussed the future of work in a world shaped by powerful machines. And in a surprising turn, he said there’s one career path that may be safer than most: plumbing.
AI Godfather’s urgent warning: Want job security? Learn plumbing
While talking about the risks of AI, Hinton made a simple point: machines are good at thinking, not at fixing pipes. “It’s going to be a long time before [AI is] as good at physical manipulation as us,” he said. “A good bet would be to be a plumber.”
Plumbing is hard to automate. It involves manual skill, real-world judgment, and problem-solving in unpredictable settings. A plumber might need to crawl under a sink, deal with unusual water pressure, or fix something without a manual. These aren’t tasks AI systems are built to handle.
According to Hinton, jobs that rely on hands-on skills are less likely to be taken over by AI anytime soon. While machines can handle large amounts of data and even draft documents, they still can’t climb ladders or tighten valves. That gives trade jobs—especially ones like plumbing, electrical work, and carpentry—an edge in the AI era.
A personal warning from the AI Godfather
Now 77, Hinton didn’t try to hide how conflicted he feels. He admitted that he’s still processing the full consequences of his work. “Intellectually, you can see the threat,” he said. “But it’s very hard to come to terms with it emotionally.”
He said he worries about the future his children and grandchildren might face. In the interview, he painted a picture that was both realistic and unsettling. He talked about a world where AI systems could eventually control power plants and critical infrastructure. If these systems become fully independent, they may not need people at all.
“If AI ever decided to take over,” he warned, “it would need people for a while to run the power stations—until it designed better analog machines… There are so many ways it could get rid of people, all of which would, of course, be very nasty.”
Hinton didn’t say this will happen. But he made it clear that it could. And in his view, that’s reason enough to take it seriously.
Office jobs face AI pressure, says ‘Godfather of AI’
While plumbers may be safe for now, Hinton believes many office jobs won’t be. He pointed to legal assistants and paralegals as some of the first roles being reshaped by AI.
These jobs often involve reviewing contracts, analyzing documents, or summarizing information—all tasks that large language models can already handle. With AI tools now able to draft legal text and even predict case outcomes, the need for human support roles in law firms could shrink.
Hinton wasn’t trying to be dramatic. He was simply stating what the data shows. “In a society which shared out things fairly, everybody should be better off,” he said. “But if you can replace lots of people by AIs, then the people who get replaced will be worse off.”
In other words, the shift may boost productivity, but it might not help everyone equally.
Growing inequality could be the real problem
Beyond the risks of job loss, Hinton pointed to a deeper issue: inequality. As companies adopt AI, many workers may be pushed out, while only a small group—those who own or run these companies—stand to benefit.
If not managed carefully, this could lead to a wider gap between rich and poor. People in manual jobs may still find work, but others—especially those in mid-level white-collar roles—may struggle to adapt.
And while AI might create new jobs, Hinton warned that the pace of change could be too fast for many to keep up.
A future that’s still unwritten
Hinton’s message wasn’t meant to scare people. It was meant to make them think. He didn’t claim to know how the future will unfold. But he said it’s time to have an honest conversation about what’s coming.
For now, the most valuable skills may not be digital ones—but physical ones. Fixing a leak, rewiring a switchboard, or installing a water heater might be harder to replace than people think.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang may operate in the same industry as software leaders like Anthropic, but he strongly disagrees with the company’s head, Dario Amodei, on key issues such as A.I.’s risks and job impacts. During a press briefing at VivaTech in Paris yesterday (June 11), Huang reportedly disagreed with “[almost everything](https://fortune.com/2025/06/11/nvidia-jensen-huang-disagress-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-ai-jobs/)” Amodei said.
Huang pushed back against Amodei’s claims that A.I. is “scary” and “expensive,” arguing such statements imply Anthropic is the only company capable of guiding the technology’s development. He also disagreed with Amodei’s view that A.I.’s power would lead to mass job losses, which he suggested justified Anthropic’s dominance in the space.
Amodei, whose company competes with OpenAI and Google, has been open about the risks he believes A.I. poses to labor markets. Last month, he told Axios that A.I. [could cut entry-level white-collar jobs by half](https://fortune.com/2025/06/11/nvidia-jensen-huang-disagress-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-ai-jobs/) and raise unemployment rates to 20 percent in the next five years. “The majority of staffers are unaware that this is going to happen,” Amodei said, adding that tech leaders “have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming.”
While Huang acknowledged that the emerging technology will render some jobs obsolete, he argued it won’t lead to widespread devastation, as the technology will create new job opportunities. “Whenever companies are more productive, they hire more people,” he said.
In response, Anthropic clarified in a statement that “Dario has never claimed that ‘only Anthropic’ can build safe and powerful A.I. As the public record will show, Dario has advocated for a national transparency standard for A.I. developers (including Anthropic) so the public and policymakers are aware of the models’ capabilities and risks and can prepare accordingly.” The company added that Amodei stands by his views on A.I. safety and the technology’s economic impact.
What are other tech leaders saying?
Amodei isn’t the only tech leader sounding the alarm over A.I.’s potential to disrupt industries. Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, has urged workers to embrace A.I. to stay competitive. “If you’re an artist, a teacher, a physician, a business person, a technical person—if you’re not using this technology, you’re not going to be relevant compared to your peer groups and your competitors and the people who want to be successful,” Schmidt [said at TED 2025 in May](https://fortune.com/2025/06/11/nvidia-jensen-huang-disagress-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-ai-jobs/). “Adopt it, and adopt it fast,” he warned.
Others have downplayed concerns about widespread job losses. Google CEO Sundar Pichai described A.I. as an “[accelerator](https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/04/alphabet-ceo-sundar-pichai-dismisses-ai-job-fears-emphasizes-expansion-plans/)” for productivity and new jobs, while acknowledging the importance of Amodei’s comments and the need for an industry-wide debate. Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, has expressed less concern about labor impacts, focusing instead on [the risks of A.I. misuse](https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/04/alphabet-ceo-sundar-pichai-dismisses-ai-job-fears-emphasizes-expansion-plans/). Meanwhile, Bill Gates has argued that [A.I. will foster a proliferation of much-needed expertise](https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/04/alphabet-ceo-sundar-pichai-dismisses-ai-job-fears-emphasizes-expansion-plans/) in fields like medicine and education.
David Sacks, the Trump administration’s [A.I. and crypto czar](https://observer.com/2024/12/david-sacks-trump-ai-crypto-czar/), has praised A.I.’s potential to positively disrupt labor by enhancing workers’ productivity and automating specific tasks, rather than eliminating entire roles. “Personally, I don’t think it’s going to lead to a giant wave of unemployment, I think it’s going to make workers more productive,” Sacks [said at the AWS Summit in Washington, D.C](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhdOA3_e8Nw&t=2s) on June 10. “I don’t think the right thing to do here is throw up a wall and be so afraid of A.I. that we try to resist it.” | 4 days ago | Observer | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 29 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

On May 7, he responded to an X post... | As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform entire industries, many people are searching for the answer to a pressing question: Will this new technology end up taking my job?
For many people, there doesn’t seem to be a clear answer, at least not yet. Retail stores have been replacing cashiers with self-service machines for years, and offices have begun to swap customer service personnel with AI agents. But other industries have been slower to shift toward an AI-centric business model.

Until recently, that is. In the past few months, tech companies have started laying off workers and doubling down on implementing AI into their operations, giving what many people consider to be a glimpse into the future of work.
One AI expert doesn’t share this perspective, though. He recently made a shocking argument on generative AI, attempting to dispel what he seems to see as a popular myth.

Tech founder and author Gary Marcus has a surprising take on how AI will impact the workforce.
Tech leader sounds off on the future of AI in the workforce
As AI systems have quickly evolved, there has been little doubt that the technology will play an increasingly important role in the modern workforce. One question that experts continue to debate is just how well AI can do certain jobs and when, if ever, it will be able to do them better than humans can.

Noted AI researcher and cognitive scientist Gary Marcus recently weighed in on this topic, offering an opinion that most people likely didn’t see coming. Many tech leaders, including Bill Gates, have speculated recently that in the coming years, even highly skilled workforce members, such as doctors, will be phased out by AI.
But as Marcus sees it, these doomsday predictions regarding AI taking people’s jobs may be overblown. On May 7, he responded to an X post touting an AI model that is allegedly smarter than 85% of humans, predicting it would replace almost all humans by 2026.
Marcus didn't hold back, making it extremely clear that he disagreed with the argument.
“Every business in the world has discovered in the last several months that GenAI is not in fact smart enough to replace most of their employees,” he stated. “Whatever you are reading from these (often gamed, sometimes contaminated) benchmarks does not reflect real-world reality.”
Other tech experts chimed in, some agreeing with Marcus’ statement. Peter Voss, founder of AI startup Aigo.ai, responded, claiming that “Not a single LLM is anywhere near *autonomously* learning to do a simple customer support job as well as a human.” He added that this could be demonstrated through a simple test.
While Marcus does not offer any examples of companies that have reached this conclusion regarding generative AI, some recruitment professionals have made similar arguments.
In March 2025, Nickle LaMoreaux, chief human resources officer at IBM, stated that while AI would continue to change how offices operate, he didn’t believe it could fully replace human workers.

“LaMoreaux expects AI tools will handle some of the more rudimentary work, but they can't handle everything. They will make employees more productive by cutting down on lower-level work, but humans will still be needed to handle high-level decision-making work,” CNET reports.
Not all tech experts believe AI will make humans obsolete
One thing many tech experts seem to agree on is that AI will change how people do their jobs, in many cases making them easier and improving work quality. However, they also believe AI will reduce — but not eliminate — the need for humans in the workplace.

Other industry leaders such as Mark Cuban have argued that human oversight will always be needed to ensure that AI systems are accomplishing their tasks correctly and providing the right information, something they don't do consistently.
Marcus has also expressed concern about the trend of large language models (LLMs) generating what are called hallucinations, or incorrect statements that they confidently present as fact. In a recent blog post, he examined the phenomenon and offered insight into the problems it can pose.
“LLMs mimic the rough structure of human language, but 8 years and roughly half a trillion dollars after their introduction, they continue to lack a grasp of a reality,” he stated.
That may also help explain why these AI tools are still not smart enough to replace human workers.

Graduates entering the workforce face an array of challenges at the best of times, but with the generative AI boom continuing, the technology poses an even bigger threat.
SignalFire’s 2025 State of Talent report found hiring trends point toward a reduction in tech companies hiring recent college grads across 2024 - significantly less than in the year prior.
That’s not to suggest they’re just not interested in bringing on new staff, however, as many are now focusing on hiring more experienced professionals across a range of areas. But SignalFire said a confluence of budgetary constraints and growing AI capabilities means they’re overlooking those entering the workforce.
“As budgets tighten and AI capabilities increase, companies are reducing their investment in new grad opportunities,” the VC firm said. Citing datafrom the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the company noted that the unemployment rate for new college graduates has surged 30% since September 2022.

Simply put, young graduates entering the workforce now face a double whammy of challenging macroeconomic conditions and the fact that employers are trying to automate roles their predecessors walked into less than a decade ago.
SignalFire isn’t the first to highlight the threat AI poses to entry-level jobs. Indeed, LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer, Aneesh Raman, voiced concerns about this trend in a recent op-ed for the New York Times.
Raman noted that the current paradigm shift in the labor market bears similarities to the sharp decline in manufacturing jobs witnessed in the US during the 1980s.
Some big tech figures have taken a more upfront approach to the topic. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, for example, recently told Axiosthat he too believes AI will heavily impact white collar entry-level roles - nearly half, he warned.
Amodei told the publication that both AI providers and the government alike need to stop “sugar-coating” the inevitable wave of job losses across a wide array of industries.
“We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming,” he told Axios. “I don’t think this is on people’s radar.”
“It’s a very strange set of dynamics where we’re saying ‘you should be worried about where the technology we’re building is going’.”
Amodei noted that skeptics naturally push back on this, largely due to the fact they think it’s a marketing ploy from providers that have a vested interest in hyping up their own solutions.
Notably, Amodei’s comments came the week after the company unveiled new iterations of its Claude AI model range. These powerful new models have been touted as a game changer for developers and represent a vast improvement on previous versions. | 3 days ago | IT Pro | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 31 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

February 2025
In the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced rapidly, finding growing applications across industries and occupations. This development has generated interest in how the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics assesses and incorporates AI’s potential labor market impacts in its employment projections.
Discussions about advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have become commonplace. In recent years, such advances have received constant news coverage, especially since the deployment of Open AI’s ChatGPT in November 2022. ChatGPT, a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows users to have humanlike conversations, was the first to offer many users the opportunity to directly experience the potential power of AI in their lives.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Projections (EP) program approaches AI in the same way as it does other technologies. Established technologies and other structural changes to the labor market have impacts that register in the historical data. BLS projection methods are designed to measure and reflect structural technological changes, and these changes and their employment impacts tend to occur gradually.
Projecting future employment involves substantial uncertainty, especially in the case of evaluating the future impacts of a developing technology. BLS acknowledges this uncertainty in analyzing the relative likelihood of employment impacts across occupations.
Background and research considerations
EP research connects the potential employment impacts of a new technology with data trends. The goal of this approach is to determine whether these impacts are likely to continue as the new technology grows in adoption and maturation or whether they are likely to diminish as the benefits of the technology are fully realized.
One illustrative example of how this research has affected BLS projections involves photographic process workers. To show a decline in labor demand for this occupation in the early 2000s, when digital cameras were on the verge of displacing most film cameras, EP adjusted its models accordingly.
By contrast, EP did not make any adjustments to its models for another occupation, truck drivers, despite speculations about autonomous vehicles potentially affecting this occupation in the 2010s. At the time, EP determined that the potential impacts of autonomous vehicles were too uncertain, judging that any such impacts were not likely to be felt in the short-to-medium term.
The timing and scale of many potential impacts of GenAI are too uncertain to be reflected in BLS projections.

Why Economists May Be Severely Underestimating AI’s Jobs Impact | https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2025/06/05/why-economists-may-be-severely-underestimating-ais-jobs-impact/ | What should we make of the far-ranging predictions on AI's workforce impacts? | Eric Gastfriend is Executive Director of Americans for Responsible
Innovation, and Cofounder & President of DynamiCare Health. gettyWhen it comes to AI’s impact on the economy, there are two camps. In one
camp, many economists reassure us that jobs lost to artificial intelligence
(AI) will be offset by new ones. In the other, technologists warn that AI
will provide a universal worker that displaces vast swaths of the workforce.It doesn’t take an economist or a technologist to realize these two
forecasts are worlds apart. So, what should we make of the far-ranging
predictions on AI’s workforce impacts? And why the gap?My company, Americans for Responsible Innovation, found that economists may
be underestimating the scale and speed of AI-driven workforce disruption,
with mainstream economic models of general-purpose technology failing to
account for AI’s unprecedented flexibility.McKinsey, for example, estimates that about 30% of current work hours could
be automated by 2030, a massive labor disruption. However, the firm
concludes that new jobs will result in net gains. It’s a traditional
approach to forecasting the workforce impacts of new technology: subtract
jobs automated away, add new jobs and find the net difference.But it’s an approach to understanding economic change that may now be
outdated. Technologists in Silicon Valley envision something far more
revolutionary. To them, AI will play the role of a universal worker that
can not only absorb work in multiple sectors but also can take on new jobs
that would otherwise offset losses.The old paradigm—that technology will always create new jobs for workers at
a faster pace than it eats old jobs—may no longer hold. Among AI
researchers, twice as many think AI will lead to fewer jobs rather than
more. Among the general public, the jobs outlook "gloom" to "boom" ratio is
nearly 13 times.With trouble on the horizon for our workforce, policymakers need to start
thinking big. History shows that when technology upends labor, leaving the
market to sort it out isn’t enough. Bold public policy is indispensable. function loadConnatixScript(document) { if (!window.cnxel) { window.cnxel

Revolution with electrification, mass production and automation. The United
States reacted by heavily investing in K-12 to reshape how children learn
and make education more accessible to the public. This response played a
pivotal role in enhancing the American worker, raising standards of living
and promoting U.S. leadership in the 20th century.A decade later, America again faced an employment shock: millions of World
War II veterans returning home in search of work. Rather than let the chips
fall where they may, Washington enacted the G.I. Bill—a massive investment
in human capital. By 1956, 8 million veterans had used their G.I. Bill
benefits to attend college or job training programs and transition back to
the civilian workforce.AI’s impact threatens to create a similar wave of workforce transitions and
on a much faster time scale. But unlike in the 20th century, few lawmakers
from either party have yet to come forward with ideas that match the scale
of potential disruptions.As an entrepreneur and CEO, I know leaders in the business community have
special insight into the coming economic transformation. Business leaders
have an economic incentive to see around the next corner and anticipate the
impacts of technological change. Many CEOs in the tech world at businesses,
from DuoLingo to Klarna, have already begun restructuring their workforce.In addition to the importance of keeping our companies ahead of tech
developments, those of us in the business community have a responsibility
to communicate the economic reality we see on the ground to lawmakers
shaping federal policy. As executive director of Americans for Responsible
Innovation, I’ve talked with policymakers in Washington about the need for
responsive action that will address the workforce impacts of AI.However, there’s room for more business leaders to chime in. From local
chambers of commerce to Silicon Valley’s tech leaders, entrepreneurs often
have a special line to policymakers. Now is an essential time for the
C-suite to use that line to communicate the urgency of crafting labor
policy that will educate, retrain and support workers during this period of
transition.Communicating the pace of change to lawmakers isn’t just good policy for
workers—it’s good for business. To remain ahead of the competition in the
AI era, it’s important our workforce is prepared to excel at the new jobs
AI creates.We know from history that proactive, ambitious policy can turn a workforce
challenge into an opportunity. With the right public policy, AI’s impact
could be even more dramatic than past upheavals, and it’s unfolding at
digital speed.To meet the moment, the business community and Congress must think big.
America overcame past economic upheavals by embracing bold solutions; we
must do so again so the age of AI delivers shared prosperity—not a jobs
crisis. For the entrepreneurs with front-row seats to these changes, it’s
up to us to share what we see.Forbes Technology Council is an invitation-only community for world-class

Mariia Balytska
20 March 2025
According to IMF data, AI adoption will affect 40% of workers worldwide, either fully or partially replacing them in their jobs. But who is most at risk, and what will its impact on the economy be?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly integrating into various aspects of life, and Ukraine is actively engaging in this process. At the end of 2024, the government approved the Ukrainian Global Innovation Strategy (WINWIN) — which sets out measures to stimulate innovation, with AI playing a key role in 14 industries until 2030. The adoption of WINWIN is expected to make AI a major driver of Ukraine’s economy by streamlining routine processes, increasing production efficiency, and creating new jobs.

According to Acemoglu’s estimates, the anticipated overall productivity growth from AI over the next decade is expected to be just 0.66%.
The expected impact of AI on GDP could be slightly higher when factoring in investments in its development. According to Acemoglu’s calculations, over 10 years, U.S. GDP growth driven by AI could range from 0.93% to 1.16% with moderate investments or 1.4% to 1.56% if investment in artificial intelligence significantly increases.
Not all employed people will benefit from AI implementation. While AI can help less experienced employees work more efficiently, it does not guarantee higher wages. For instance, for individuals with only a partial secondary education, Acemoglu predicts just a 1.3% salary increase over the next 10 years. Meanwhile, the income gap between those with a high school education and those with postgraduate or doctoral degrees is expected to widen.
For most educational groups, AI could replace 4-6% of tasks. Middle-income workers will be most affected by AI. Highly paid professionals are not entirely immune either. Although their jobs often require decision-making based on specific circumstances, parts of their work can still be automated. On the other hand, low-wage jobs that require physical labor are much harder to fully automate, making it unlikely that AI will replace these workers.
AI enables companies to reduce labor costs, boosting profits for business owners rather than workers—ultimately exacerbating economic inequality.
Some argue that AI will offset job losses by creating new opportunities, but the reality is more complex. AI-related jobs do not benefit everyone equally, and some contribute little to societal well-being. According to Acemoglu’s estimates, these new AI-driven tasks could increase U.S. GDP by 2%, but he remains uncertain whether this will have a positive impact on society.
AI is undoubtedly transforming the world, but research suggests that its economic impact will likely be more gradual than many predict. It has the potential to enhance certain processes, create new opportunities, and even assist workers. But an economic miracle? For now, that seems to be nothing more than a myth. | 2 months ago | VoxUkraine | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 35 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

Written by Aminu Abdullahi
Published June 6, 2025
As the fears of AI taking over human jobs continue to rattle the tech industry, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai says AI isn’t here to take jobs — at least, not at Google. The tech giant plans to keep hiring engineers well into next year, even as it doubles down on artificial intelligence.
Speaking at the Bloomberg Tech conference in San Francisco, Pichai directly addressed concerns that AI could lead to mass job cuts, as seen in other tech giants like Microsoft. He emphasized that AI is not a replacement for human workers, but an “accelerator” that enhances their productivity.
“I expect we will grow from our current engineering base even into next year, because it allows us to do more,” Pichai told Bloomberg’s Emily Chang.
While acknowledging that AI is changing the way work gets done, Pichai described the technology as something that makes engineers more productive, not obsolete.
“I just view this as making engineers dramatically more productive, getting a lot of the mundane aspects out of what they do,” he said.
Pichai added that rather than cutting jobs, AI is speeding up product development, creating demand for more skilled workers.
A glimpse into AI’s limitations
Despite his optimism, Pichai acknowledged that AI still has its limitations. He noted that while AI excels at tasks like coding, it is far from perfect and continues to make basic mistakes.
On the bigger picture of where AI is headed, Pichai offered a grounded view. When asked whether AI is moving us toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) — a level where AI matches human thinking — he said: “So are we currently on an absolute path to AGI? I don’t think anyone can say for sure.
“There’s a lot of forward progress ahead with the paths we are on, not only the set of ideas we are working on today, [but] some of the newer ideas we are experimenting with,” he added.
Recent layoffs were due to a shift in focus
Alphabet has let thousands of employees go in recent years, including 12,000 jobs in 2023 and another 1,000 or more in 2024; but 2025’s layoffs have been more limited and strategic. Earlier this year, fewer than 100 employees were laid off in Google Cloud, and a few hundred more in its platforms and devices unit.
Despite this, Pichai reiterated that the focus now is on building, not cutting. He pointed to Alphabet’s ongoing projects, such as Waymo self-driving cars, quantum computing, and YouTube’s thriving creator economy, particularly in India, where 15,000 channels have over a million subscribers.
Fears about AI’s impact on the workforce
Some tech leaders have sounded alarms about the long-term threat AI poses to the workforce. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently warned that up to half of entry-level white-collar jobs could disappear within five years.
Pichai didn’t dismiss the concern. “I respect that … I think it’s important to voice those concerns and debate them,” he said.
A PYMNTS Intelligence report recently found that 54% of US workers believe generative AI could lead to widespread job losses. The sentiment is even stronger among tech workers, particularly those who already regularly use AI tools.
Google’s AI search answers won’t kill websites (yet)
Pichai, who has led Google since 2015, is no stranger to AI’s promises and problems. As Google Search evolves to include more AI-generated answers, some publishers worry about losing web traffic, but Pichai said the company is taking care not to cut them out.
“Compared to most companies in the world, we take care to design an experience which is going to showcase links,” he said. “We took a long time testing AI Overviews and prioritized approaches which resulted in high quality traffic out. I’m confident that many years from now that’s how Google will work.” | 1 week ago | eWEEK | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 36 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

Artificial intelligence is projected to reach $4.8 trillion in market value by 2033, but the technology's benefits remain highly concentrated, according to the U.N. Trade and Development agency.
In a report, UNCTAD said the AI market cap would roughly equate to the size of Germany's economy, with the technology offering productivity gains and driving digital transformation.
However, the agency also raised concerns about automation and job displacement, warning that AI could affect 40% of jobs worldwide. On top of that, AI is not inherently inclusive, meaning the economic gains from the tech remain "highly concentrated," the report added.
"The benefits of AI-driven automation often favour capital over labour, which could widen inequality and reduce the competitive advantage of low-cost labour in developing economies," it said.
The potential for AI to cause unemployment and inequality is a long-standing concern, with the IMF making similar warnings over a year ago. In January, The World Economic Forum released findings that as many as 41% of employers were planning on downsizing their staff in areas where AI could replicate them.
However, the UNCTAD report also highlights inequalities between nations, with U.N. data showing that 40% of global corporate research and development spending in AI is concentrated among just 100 firms, mainly those in the U.S. and China.
Furthermore, it notes that leading tech giants, such as Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft — companies that stand to benefit from the AI boom — have a market value that rivals the gross domestic product of the entire African continent.
This AI dominance at national and corporate levels threatens to widen those technological divides, leaving many nations at risk of lagging behind, UNCTAD said. It noted that 118 countries — mostly in the Global South — are absent from major AI governance discussions.
But AI is not just about job replacement, the report said, noting that it can also "create new industries and and empower workers" — provided there is adequate investment in reskilling and upskilling.
But in order for developing nations not to fall behind, they must "have a seat at the table" when it comes to AI regulation and ethical frameworks, it said.
In its report, UNCTAD makes a number of recommendations to the international community for driving inclusive growth. They include an AI public disclosure mechanism, shared AI infrastructure, the use of open-source AI models and initiatives to share AI knowledge and resources.
Open-source generally refers to software in which the source code is made freely available on the web for possible modification and redistribution.
"AI can be a catalyst for progress, innovation, and shared prosperity - but only if countries actively shape its trajectory," the report concludes.
"Strategic investments, inclusive governance, and international cooperation are key to ensuring that AI benefits all, rather than reinforcing existing divides." | 2 months ago | CNBC | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 37 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

As news of AI-driven layoffs ripples through industries, HR leaders face a unique challenge: guiding organizations through workforce automation while confronting that the technology could threaten their own department’s traditional roles.
Recent examples like IBM’s replacement of HR professionals with AI agents highlight this growing tension, where those tasked with managing workforce transformation must simultaneously navigate their own professional disruption.
IBM is using artificial intelligence—particularly AI agents—to take on work previously done by “a few hundred HR employees,” CEO Arvind Krishna has said. Though he didn’t reveal when these shifts occurred, Krishna added that the firm has increased hiring in other areas, such as programming and sales.
How many jobs are AI tools putting at risk? According to SHRM, 12.6% of current U.S. jobs—about 19.2 million positions—are at high or very high risk of being displaced by automation. Some experts say the uprooting of jobs by AI agents is one of the most pressing issues for HR leaders today.
Tech leaders’ perspectives on job transformation: At the Eightfold Cultivate Talent Summit, three tech CEOs joined Meghna Punhani, chief people officer at Eightfold, to share their insights on AI’s impact on the workforce. The discussion centered on whether organizations are directly replacing people with AI or are developing different workforce skills to address needs that AI cannot fulfill.
Munish Gandhi, co-founder and CEO of Statisfy, predicted that various job functions will continue to change over the next five years. Srinath Sridhar, co-founder and CEO of Regie.ai, identified specific industries that could be vulnerable to layoffs. Amit Aggarwal, founder and CEO of Datairis, emphasized the untapped workforce potential that AI and AI agents will open up.
Shifting from specialization to generalization: Aggarwal wondered: Will AI displace people or restructure roles and workflows? Analyst Josh Bersin predicted a 20%-30% or greater reduction in HR headcount in the lanes of learning and development and HR business partners.
HR leaders must start preparing workers for more generalist roles. “HR has a very, very big role to play,” Aggarwal emphasized. This expanded responsibility encompasses building trust around human-AI accountability, developing effective training programs, and establishing appropriate cultural norms. | 4 weeks ago | HR Executive | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 38 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

In the early 2000s, when Amazon introduced its Kiva robots to automate warehouse operations, employees feared for their jobs as machines began taking over tasks previously performed by humans. Today, advances in gen AI and natural language processing, such as ChatGPT, are transforming many industries and raising similar concerns. However, unlike past automation technologies, gen AI has the unique potential to impact all job sectors, particularly given its fundamental ability to improve its capabilities over time — which promises to affect the workforce in ways that go beyond simple job replacement. | 7 months ago | Harvard Business Review | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 39 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

Geoffrey Hinton hints that, amid AI takeover, some jobs are safer, and he thinks plumbing is a good choice because machines won’t be able to do physical jobs anytime soon.
Geoffrey Hinton, known as the Godfather of AI and a former Google researcher, recently shared his thoughts on how artificial intelligence might take over jobs. He warned that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will soon become better than humans at many tasks, due to which a large number of people will lose jobs. But Hinton also said some jobs are safer, and he thinks plumbing is a good choice because machines won’t be able to do physical jobs anytime soon.
While appearing on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Hinton said, “It’s going to be a long time before it’s as good at physical manipulation as us. So, a good bet would be to be a plumber. In the past, new technologies have come in, which didn’t led to joblessness. New jobs were created. So the classic example people use is automatic tele machines. When automatic tele machines came in, a lot of bank tellers didn’t lose their jobs, they just got to do more interesting things."
Hinton explained that this new technology is very different from earlier ones. He also said that in the future, only those with very special or advanced skills may be safe from losing their jobs to AI.
A recent report by SignalFire showed that major tech companies are hiring fewer fresh graduates for entry level jobs than before. One of the main reasons for this drop is the growing use of AI. The report said that in companies like Meta and Google, the number of new graduate hires fell by 25% from 2023 to 2024. In 2024, only 7% of their new hires were fresh graduates.

'I think it's actually very hard to replace a human job entirely'
BY Dexter Tilo 12 Jun 2025
White House AI czar David Sacks has downplayed the potential impact of artificial intelligence adoption on employment, despite research and experts saying it could lead to job losses.
Sacks told attendees at the Amazon Web Services Summit in Washington, DC, that he also believes the quote circulating online that says workers are not going to lose their jobs to AI, but to someone who knows the technology better.
"I don't think it's going to lead to a giant wave of unemployment. I think it's going to make workers more productive. That's the pattern with every previous technology revolution," he said.
"I think it's actually very hard to replace a human job entirely. I think it's easier to replace pieces of it."
He made the remarks amid previous research that warned employers may reduce their headcount as a result of AI adoption. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei also told Axios that AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs, as well as increase unemployment by up to 20% in the next one to five years.
"I don't think we're going to have 20% unemployment," Sacks said.
The White House AI czar also called out contradictions in what he called the "doomer cult" regarding AI's impact on GDP growth rate.
"It seems to me that if you believe this is a profound technology then you know it should have a big impact on GDP as well," he said. "I want to be realistic about this, I could see AI driving our growth rate to something like four or five per cent."
## Future of AI in the workplace
Sacks underscored that AI models are getting better when it comes to capabilities, with the world welcoming agents that can take actions on users’ behalf.
Agentic AI is a new system of artificial intelligence that is generating concerns over job losses. A recent report from the Information Services Group even showed that agentic AI is beginning to gain momentum among multiprocess human resources outsourcing service providers.
Sacks said he believes these agents will be under the guidance of human workers who will use them to become more productive.
"Humans start replacing pieces of their job with agents to make themselves more productive. As they do that, they find other things to adopt and incorporate into their jobs as well," he said.
"I tend to think that's the direction we're headed and I think we have to embrace that opportunity to be more productive." | 5 days ago | HRD America |

April 3, 2025
The global artificial intelligence market is projected to reach $4.8 trillion—roughly the size of Germany's economy—by 2033, the UN said Thursday, warning nearly half of jobs worldwide could be affected.
While AI is transforming economies and creating vast opportunities, the technology also risks deepening existing inequalities, the UN trade and development agency UNCTAD warned in a report.
In particular, the report cautioned that "AI could impact 40% of jobs worldwide, offering productivity gains but also raising concerns about automation and job displacement."
While previous waves of technology mainly impacted blue-collar jobs, UNCTAD highlighted that knowledge-intensive sectors would be left most exposed by AI.
This means advanced economies will surely be hardest-hit, it said, adding though that these economies were better positioned to harness the benefits of AI than developing economies.
"The benefits of AI-driven automation often favor capital over labor, which could widen inequality and reduce the competitive advantage of low-cost labor in developing economies," UNCTAD said.
In a statement, the agency chief Rebeca Grynspan underlined the importance of ensuring people are at the center of AI development, urging stronger international cooperation to "shift the focus from technology to people, enabling countries to co-create a global artificial intelligence framework."
"History has shown that while technological progress drives economic growth, it does not on its own ensure equitable income distribution or promote inclusive human development," she warned in the report.
The AI market is expected to reach $4.8 trillion by 2033. While AI offers productivity gains, it risks increasing inequality by favoring capital over labor. Access to AI resources is concentrated in a few economies, mainly the US and China. International cooperation and investment in digital infrastructure are crucial to harness AI's potential for sustainable development and to ensure equitable benefits. | 2 months ago | Tech Xplore | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 43 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

Different sectors and demographics are responding to AI differently – research from ADP explains, with exclusive comment from Research Director of People and Performance, Dr. Mary Hayes.
New research from payroll platform ADP found that younger generations were much more forthcoming to technology and AI, yet they were also the most concerned.
What’s more, comfort levels greatly differed from sector to sector.
Young workers are both more optimistic and concerned about the potential of AI.
This, the report highlights, may be due to younger generations being more open to considering the impact technology and AI advancements will have on their long-term career.
More than 30% of workers feel concerned about AI replacing them in their roles and were actively looking for or interviewing for a new job.
That’s according to new research from payroll services and HR solutions platform ADP, which pooled 38,000 global workers.
“The workers we surveyed have a contradictory set of emotions: excitement at its potential and fear of its ultimate impact. Part of this contradiction could be attributed to anxiety about the unknown,” Dr Hayes explains.
“AI presents significant opportunities for efficiency and innovation, but it also necessitates careful consideration of its impact on the workforce and current practices.”
As employers navigate the transformative landscape of AI, it will be crucial for them to address employee concerns and foster a clear understanding of the benefits of the technology.

Dream job no more? AI is coming for Wall Street’s entry-level Junior Analyst roles, and experts say it’s just the start

AI is starting to take over entry-level jobs on Wall Street, like junior analyst roles. Big banks may hire fewer people as AI handles more tasks. Experts say this could be the beginning of big changes in finance jobs.
Wall Street’s entry-level junior analyst jobs are now at risk because of Artificial Intelligence. Big finance firms like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are considering cutting hiring by up to two-thirds due to AI taking over tasks, as per the reports.
These firms didn’t respond when asked about it. Junior analysts usually work 80 to 100 hours per week, doing repetitive work like updating charts and valuation tables. Many junior bankers are complaining that even with AI, they still have to do the same boring tasks, as per the Fortune report.
According to the Bloomberg report, Recruiter Jeanne Branthover said working as a junior analyst is like being a pledge in a frat, you have to suffer to rise. Still, these jobs are very popular because of the high salary and great career growth. The work mostly involves researching financial data, trends, and risks, but most of the time it’s just grunt work.
LinkedIn’s Aneesh Raman said AI is “breaking” entry-level jobs that Gen Z wants. He also said the AI impact will soon hit fields like finance, travel, food, and professional services, as per the New York Times reports.
Michael Ashley Schulman said AI is already being used in finance to answer risk, financial, and legal questions. Christoph Rabenseifner from Deutsche Bank said, “You can just replace juniors with an AI tool,” but humans still need to make final decisions.
Schulman also said AI won’t completely wipe out these jobs, but fewer people will be needed. Future junior analysts may become data checkers instead of data gatherers, double-checking AI's work and exploring deeper insights. He also said future Wall Street workers will look more like computer science, data, or statistics majors, though creativity and business sense will still be important.
Tim Bates, a professor at the University of Michigan and ex-CTO of Lenovo and GM, said AI will not replace jobs fully but will change what those jobs involve. Bates advised students to learn AI tools, data analysis, and client strategy skills to stay useful. He said Wall Street jobs will become harder to get, and students should also look at fintech, consulting, or corporate strategy roles, as stated in the Fortune report.
Michelle Enjoli, a career coach and TED speaker, said AI models still have risks, so companies will be careful before replacing humans. She thinks AI will be used more as a support tool, not a full replacement, at least for now.
Enjoli said students and workers must stay updated on how AI affects their industry to remain valuable. She called AI an unavoidable disruptor and said people should adjust and learn how to work with it, as per the Fortune report.
Q1. Will AI take all Wall Street analyst jobs? No, AI will reduce some jobs but people are still needed for important decisions.
Q2. What should students do if they want a finance job? Learn AI tools, data skills, and keep up with how jobs are changing. | 2 weeks ago | The Economic Times | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 45 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

U.S. employees are worried about AI, with low- and middle-income workers more concerned than upper-income workers

Vol. 56, No. 4
Percentage of workers who say at least some of their work is currently being done with AI, with an additional 25% saying that while they’re not using AI now, at least some of their current work could be done with it. About half (51%) of AI users have at least a bachelor’s degree, versus 39% of non-AI users.
Percentage of workers who say they’re worried about how the use of AI will impact jobs in general, with 32% believing it will lead to fewer job opportunities for them over time. Low- and middle-income workers are more concerned about the impact of AI on jobs than upper-income workers (37%, 33%, and 26%, respectively).
Percentage of workers who say they feel overwhelmed about how AI may be used in the workplace in the future, though 36% of workers say they feel hopeful about how it may be used. Commonly reported current uses include research (57% have used it this way), editing (52%), and writing (47%).

By PYMNTS | May 22, 2025
Generative artificial intelligence presents a dual-edged sword for the American workforce, promising productivity gains while simultaneously sparking job displacement concerns.
The PYMNTS Intelligence report “Workers Say Fears About GenAI Taking Their Jobs Is Overblown” was based on a survey of 2,881 consumers in the United States conducted from Nov. 11 to Nov. 26. It delved into workers’ evolving attitudes toward generative AI, examining its perceived risks and rewards.
The report revealed a divergence between the perception of generative AI’s impact on the job market and its perceived threat to individual employment. While most workers agreed that the technology poses a systemic risk of job displacement, suggesting a widespread acknowledgment of its disruptive potential, a smaller proportion said their own jobs are in jeopardy.
This indicated a collective concern about the future of work in general, tempered by a degree of confidence, or perhaps unfamiliarity, regarding the security of one’s own specific role. The report highlighted that this perspective shift was influenced by factors such as familiarity and frequency of generative AI use.
Workers who frequently used generative AI were more likely to see its productivity benefits. For instance, 82% of those using generative AI at least weekly reported that it could increase their productivity, compared to lower percentages for less frequent users.
However, this familiarity also correlated with increased concern about job security. Those who regularly used generative AI’s capabilities were more likely to believe the technology could replace elements of their jobs. The report suggested that workers who experienced the productivity advantages firsthand tended to be more aware of the technology’s potential to automate or displace certain tasks. This dynamic was particularly pronounced in sectors like technology and among certain demographic groups such as millennials.
Key data points from the report underscored these attitudes:
* More than half of workers (54%) who were employed, seeking work or studying when surveyed agreed that generative AI posed a “significant risk of widespread job displacement.” This concern was more prevalent among those familiar with generative AI platforms (57%) compared to those unfamiliar (41%).
* Despite broad concern about general displacement, 38% of workers feared that generative AI could eventually lead to the elimination of their specific jobs. This personal job fear was higher among those using generative AI at least weekly (50%) compared to unfamiliar users (24%).
* Workers who used generative AI frequently were nearly three times more likely (74%) than those unfamiliar with specific platforms (27%) to believe the technology could replace elements of their jobs. This perception of replaceability was particularly high in the technology sector.
Beyond the core findings on job displacement and productivity, the report touched on how these attitudes varied across different industries and demographic segments, noting, for example, differing levels of concern between technology workers, healthcare professionals and educators. It also pointed to distinctions in outlook between younger generations (Generation Z and millennials) and their older counterparts (Generation X and baby boomers/seniors). | 4 weeks ago | PYMNTS.com | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 47 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

With the rise of AI, many employees and recent graduates are concerned about their job futures.
Faisal Masud, president of HP Digital Services, shares his advice for how fresh grads can leverage AI.
He also shares how, with the right mindset and upskilling, people can turn AI into a great sidekick.
If you're a recent graduate, you're probably feeling some anxiety about entering the workforce. Employees — especially Gen Zs — report feeling burned out, while return-to-office mandates are affecting people's work-life balance. And as CEOs bluster about AI wiping out half of all entry-level white collar jobs, employees and soon-to-be employees naturally feel concerned for their future.
It's often said that millennials grew up with smartphones, and in a similar way, today's grads are getting in on the ground floor with AI. When I graduated from college in the 90s, most people in the workforce could barely use the internet, so my generation thrived because we were fluent in the online world. In a similar way, it's early enough for fresh grads to be a part of this first wave of AI use. AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini all provide free options, and you can gain a competitive advantage by learning to use them now.
But AI isn't coming for everybody's job — it's coming for the jobs of people who don't learn to use AI. I feel confident that AI will make work more rewarding and enjoyable if you give it the opportunity.
AI is evolving entry-level work
AI won't be leading a meeting with your biggest client anytime soon, or finalizing the plans for your spring offsite, or hiring the next VP of sales. Despite CEOs arguing that AI will take over entry-level work, enterprises are not ready to roll AI out across the entire organization.
Instead, AI will help by doing the tedious parts of your job that you don't enjoy, freeing you up for more meaningful work. You'll still lead your client meeting, but an AI tool will crank out a draft of the presentation and summarize the meeting notes afterward. You'll still make the important decisions about your offsite, but AI will find you 20 locations to choose from — and email them all to check for availability.
In this way, AI operates much more like an assistant than a new colleague who you'll have to compete with to keep your job. Your intelligence, judgment, and awareness will remain indispensable for this type of work.
So yes, AI may be taking components of entry-level work, but it's not eliminating job opportunities entirely; it's evolving what entry-level work looks like.
This kind of automation will allow you to gain more high-quality work experience early in your career, leading to faster growth and career advancement. Tech has a history of creating more jobs, not fewer, and AI is no different. Now is the time to start learning and using AI tools to get ahead of the curve.
Fresh grads can leverage AI to be their career assistant
Forget generic résumés that get lost in the pile; AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini can dissect job descriptions, pinpoint essential keywords, and supercharge your résumé and cover letter so that they make it past automated screening systems.
AI tools can also generate realistic mock interview questions to assist with interview preparation.
Think of AI as a 24/7 career assistant. Powerful AI agents like OpenAI's Operator function can even scan job boards and submit applications on your behalf. These capabilities are still emerging, but the outcome is that you'll be able to expand your job search and apply for many more roles with precisely targeted applications.
Just don't over-index on your AI use. If you use AI to spruce up your cover letter, read closely to ensure it's accurate and still sounds like you and doesn't exaggerate your capabilities. Otherwise, you run the risk of falling short of expectations when potential employers meet you in person, or winding up in a job where you're out of your depth.
A consumer-like tech experience at the office
AI will also streamline the tech experience at work.
I often think about how good the tech experience has become in our personal lives. My smartphone updates in the background and connects automatically to my TV and car. AI-powered apps like Uber and DoorDash have made my life so convenient that I take them for granted.
But tech in the workplace hasn't kept up. For example, I was about to join a board meeting recently when my videoconferencing system decided to install an update. Last month, I was building a presentation when the software crashed without saving my last changes.
AI will analyze the experience of millions of users and learn when it's the best time to update your Zoom (hint: it's not right before a meeting). It'll also recognize that your computer is slowing down and automatically alert the IT department to fix or replace it, saving you the hassle.
In addition, AI will handle interactions with internal departments like IT, HR, and payroll. You won't have to waste time submitting expense reports, filing tickets, or asking questions about benefits and leave policies. These are all tasks that will be made faster and easier with AI.
How to get the most out of AI
If your company dumps a new set of technologies onto you when you're already feeling overwhelmed, it's likely to cause frustration rather than make your job easier.

As CEOs push replacing people with AI, AI isn't quite ready to do the job | https://www.axios.com/2025/05/30/ai-jobs-replace-humans-ceos-amodei | Businesses are racing to replace people with AI, and they're not waiting to first find out whether AI is up to the job. | May 30, 2025 - Technology
# Ready or not, AI is starting to replace people
Scott Rosenberg
Businesses are racing to replace people with AI, and they're not waiting to first find out whether AI is up to the job.
Why it matters: CEOs are gambling that Silicon Valley will improve AI fast enough that they can rush cutbacks today without getting caught shorthanded tomorrow.
While AI tools can often enhance office workers' productivity, in most cases they aren't yet adept, independent or reliable enough to take their places.
But AI leaders say that's imminent — any year now! — and CEOs are listening.
State of play: If these execs win their bets, they'll have taken the lead in the great AI race they believe they're competing in.
But if they lose and have to backtrack, as some companies already are doing, they'll have needlessly kicked off a massive voluntary disruption that they will regret almost as much as their discarded employees do.
Driving the news: AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told Axios' Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen this week.
Amodei argues the industry needs to stop "sugarcoating" this white-collar bloodbath — a mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs.
Yes, but: Many economists anticipate a less extreme impact. They point to previous waves of digital change, like the advent of the PC and the internet, that arrived with predictions of job-market devastation that didn't pan out.
Other critics argue that AI leaders like Amodei have a vested interest in playing up the speed and size of AI's impact to justify raising the enormous sums the technology requires to build.
By the numbers: Unemployment among recent college grads is growing faster than among other groups and presents one early warning sign of AI's toll on the white-collar job market, according to a new study by Oxford Economics.
Looking at a three-month moving average, the jobless rate for those ages 22 to 27 with a bachelor's degree was close to 6% in April, compared with just above 4% for the overall workforce.
Between the lines: Several companies that made early high-profile announcements that they would replace legions of human workers with AI have already had to reverse course.
Klarna, the buy now, pay later company, set out in 2023 to be OpenAI's "favorite guinea pig" for testing how far a firm could go at using AI to replace human workers — but earlier this month it backed off a bit, hiring additional support workers because customers want the option of talking to a real person.
IBM predicted in 2023 that it would soon be able to replace around 8,000 jobs with AI. Two years later, its CEO told the Wall Street Journal that so far the company has replaced a couple of hundred HR employees with AI — but increased hiring of software developers and salespeople.
Zoom out: Every modern era of technological transformation has disrupted the labor market, from the Industrial Revolution of the early 19th century to the assembly-line automation of the early 20th and the container ship-driven globalization of the millennium.
The transitions have often been rough, but economies emerged bigger and with more jobs, not less.
Some AI experts fear the change could be so much faster with AI that there will be no time to adapt. Others view AI as a fundamentally different kind of tech that will force society to invent new approaches to jobs and salaries, like the notion of a universal basic income.
Our thought bubble: Predicting employment levels has always been tough because there are so many complex variables to consider.
Even if Amodei is right and AI cuts a devastating swath among office workers, there are other demographic forces at work that could make it harder for businesses to find the human workers they still need.
For instance: The largest generation in history is retiring as boomers age out of the workforce. The Trump administration is working overtime to limit immigration. Other black-swan crises will erupt that could boost or limit unemployment.
What we're watching: The sociopolitical skews of AI's workforce impact are volatile and hold a great potential for splitting coalitions and dividing allies.
The populist wing of Trump's MAGA movement is likely to resist AI-driven change even as the president's tech-insurgent allies push for more investment and weaker regulation.
More broadly, Americans overall say that, unlike impatient CEOs and China-fearing office-holders, they want to see AI introduced with more care and less haste, per the 2025 Axios Harris 100 poll.

A new class of young graduates is getting ready to enter the workforce this summer, but they’re likely to face a chilly reception.
In one social media post after another, entry-level workers are bemoaning the state of the labor market and how hard it is to find a job. “It feels more likely to win the lottery right now than get a job,” [said one young TikTok poster]. “This is not what I expected,” [said another young woman on Instagram] as she held a stack of resumes and wiped tears from her eyes. “But I can’t be delusional anymore, I literally need to make money.”
The current labor market appears strong on the surface—unemployment is still low at 4.2%, wage growth is steady, and the U.S. added 139,000 jobs in May. But those numbers don’t tell the whole story. A deeper look beneath the surface reveals a much different jobs market for entry-level workers. The unemployment rate for recent college graduates aged 22-27 was 5.8% as of March, according to research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. And a May report from Oxford Economics found that 85% of unemployment since the middle of 2023 could be attributed to people just entering the workforce.
“Top-line job openings and unemployment statistics aren’t, in practice, reflecting the experience of new grads entering the workforce,” Mischa Fisher, an economist at Udemy, a provider of online training courses, tells Fortune. “Because entry-level roles are in short supply.”
It’s no surprise, then, that employee confidence amongst entry-level workers just hit an all-time low, according to a recent report from Glassdoor. And more than half (56%) of this year’s college graduates feel pessimistic about starting their careers in the current economy, according to another survey from jobs platform Handshake.
A few different factors are likely contributing to such a tough job market for young people right now. Experts tell Fortune that a combination of factors including a cooling labor market, a hiring pullback prompted by shifting tariff policies, and the long-promised of integration of AI into the workforce, are all creating massive problems for a new generation of job seekers.
“There are now clear trends in the data,” not just vague whisperings, that more and more people are getting left behind, says Cory Stahle, an economist at hiring platform Indeed’s Hiring Lab.
## The ‘lock-in’ effect
The COVID pandemic kicked off a major workforce reshuffling, unofficially dubbed the “Great Resignation,” during which workers were successfully able to switch jobs for higher wages.
But that era is long gone. The labor market has become more stagnant, and quit rates fell from 3% in March of 2022, the highest in over two decades, to around 2% as of April 2025, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Workers who switch roles are also less likely to make more money if they do so. People who stay in their jobs are seeing an average of 4.4% wage growth, while those who leave are getting just 4.3% more, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
That lack of turnover means that there are fewer opportunities for entry level workers to nab a role. “We’re seeing the labor market’s version of the housing market’s ‘lock-in’ effect, where employees are too nervous to make moves,” says Fisher. “This freeze is blocking normal opportunity flow, so early career workers can’t break in, experienced workers can’t move up, and burned-out employees are staying put.”
## Tariff uncertainty
Trump’s tariff policy changes, and their subsequent impact on the economy, is also creating problems for entry-level workers in the labor market.
With an uncertain economic outlook thanks to on-again-off-again levies for major U.S. trading partners, many companies have pulled back on hiring until they get further clarity on what kind of economy will take shape in 2025.
Around 30% of small and mid-size business owners say tariffs are directly impacting their organizations in a negative way, and 42% say they plan to pull back on hiring as a result, according to a May survey from coaching and advisory firm Vistage, in partnership with the Wall Street Journal.
“Business leaders are uncertain and when that happens they don’t do as much hiring because they don’t know what the next week is going to look like, let alone the next month,” says Allison Shrivastava, a labor economist also at Indeed’s Hiring Lab. “They’re going to wait, especially for those jobs in what we think of as, traditionally, white collar sectors, which are often difficult and costly to hire for.”
## The new AI reality
The promise of AI has been a looming threat to human workers for years, but there are now signs that companies are using the new tech to take over work previously done by entry-level employees.
Many of the tasks that used to serve as a training ground for junior employees, like data entry, research, and handling basic customer or employee requests, are already being delegated to AI. Technical fields like computer science and finance are getting hit especially hard. While employment for people older than 27 in computer science and mathematical occupations has grown a modest 0.8% since 2022, employment for those aged 22-27, or recent graduates, has declined by 8%, according to a May report from labor market research firm Oxford Economics. That’s compared to college graduates in all other occupations, who saw 2% employment gains.
“We concluded that a high adoption rate by information companies along with the sheer employment declines in these roles since 2022 suggested some displacement effect from AI,” the report reads.
LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer Aneesh Raman, echoed that thought in a recent New York Times op-ed. “In tech, advanced coding tools are creeping into the tasks of writing simple code and debugging—the ways junior developers gain experience,” he wrote.
Companies are under pressure from investors to show that they can do more with less because of AI, says Sam Kuhn, an economist at Appcast, a job advertising company. Cutting jobs, or freezing hiring, are ways to do that. “We are starting to see the ripple effects of companies that have invested a lot of money into artificial intelligence, wanting to show that they’re actually getting something out of it,” he says.
Meta reportedly plans to use AI to review the platform’s privacy and societal risks instead of human staffers. At Microsoft, CEO Satya Nadella said in April that around 30% of code is now written by AI, a reality that likely factored into recent layoffs. And the CEO of payments platform Klarna has openly admitted last month that AI helped the company cut its workforce by around 40%. AI company founders are also getting more candid; Dario Amondei, the CEO of leading AI company Anthropic, has said outright that the technology could wipe out roughly 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs. “It sounds crazy, and people just don’t believe it,” he said. “We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming.”
## What’s a new grad to do?
New job seekers can comfort themselves with the knowledge that it’s not just their imagination—the hiring landscape really is tougher for them than it was a few years ago.
That means they need to be more resourceful than their predecessors when it comes to outsmarting the labor market. That might include things like pivoting their job search to consider other industries or roles outside of what they studied in school. They also need to work harder to show employers that the skills they learned in college are a perfect fit for a given role.
“In the current labor market, new graduates need to find additional signals of skill beyond just a degree,” says Fisher. “From certificates to demonstrated soft skills like communication, the candidates who stand out show they’re already bridging the gap between school and skills acquisition.”
Because the hiring process skews towards Zoom interviews and AI-driven recruiting, young people also need to take the initiative and reach out to hiring managers on their own, whether that’s on LinkedIn, at a local job fair, or tapping into an alumni network. “There are fewer opportunities now to engage on a human level with employers up front,” says Steve Rakas, executive director of the Masters Career Center at Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business.
There remains, however, a reason for young people to hold out hope. Labor market trends are cyclical, and there are still opportunities out there for young people who want them, notes Rakas—even if they’re not ideal.
“We’re coaching them to think about not just plan A, but also plan B, C and D,” he says.“To be pragmatic, and also to pivot.” | 5 days ago | Fortune | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 50 | AI impact jobs | 2025-06-17 14:02:24 | null |

Report warns a college degree no longer guarantees skilled work in today’s AI-powered global job economy
Remote jobs, once seen as offering freedom, now trap professionals in cycles of digital underemployment
Middle-level professionals are taking side gigs to survive while tech roles remain out of reach
The global job market is undergoing a profound transformation as remote work, economic disparities, and digital labor migration reshape employment trends across borders.
A new survey by Global Work AI has now revealed underemployment is no longer confined to local economies or immigrant populations - instead, it is spreading across the global remote work landscape, where educational attainment no longer guarantees job relevance or economic security.
After analyzing data from over 5 million users, the platform found that “qualified specialists actively seek unskilled jobs,” including roles in data entry, customer service, and assistant positions, even though 62.75% of job seekers have completed higher education.
The paradox of qualifications in a globalized job market
Demographic data shows that women account for more than 70% of users on the platform, while men represent just under 30%, and millennials and late Zoomers (ages 25 to 40) comprise nearly two-thirds of all job seekers.
The majority of users are mid-level professionals, making up 30.37%, compared to 7.38% junior staff and just 3.47% executives.
“Mid-level specialists are among the most vulnerable employees,” the report notes, adding that recent layoffs have pushed many toward side gigs and project-based work to sustain their income.
Professionals in countries like Nigeria, India, and the Philippines are using their English-language skills to secure jobs in English-speaking countries, often earning significantly more than they would domestically.
For example, a highly experienced dentist in Nigeria might earn around $1,885 per month (or less than $400 in many cases), while a remote data entry job for a U.S.-based company could pay over $4,000.
Still, this shift is not uniform. High-HDI countries such as the U.S., U.K., and Canada generally show a preference for domestic remote roles.
In contrast, middle-HDI countries like Mexico and Colombia exhibit strong interest in remote opportunities but largely focus on internal markets.
Countries with strong native-language dominance tend to have lower rates of digital migration.
Even with access to the best job sites or the CV builders, many professionals are being forced to downgrade their ambitions.
This trend raises critical questions about the future of work: What does skill mean in a globalized economy? Can professional credentials alone guard against systemic underemployment? And most importantly, what does this evolving landscape mean for long-term career prospects? | 2 days ago | TechRadar | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 2 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Why Gen Z Is 'Enormously Attractive' to Employers
## Subhead
Gen Z is attractive to employers due to their AI skills and tech-savviness.

## Main text of the article
There have long been concerns about Generation Z and their attitudes towards work. However, according to LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, Gen Z is "attractive" to employers for one key reason—they are "Generation AI." "You are generation AI. You are AI native. So, bringing the fact that you have AI in your tool set is one of the things that makes you enormously attractive," Hoffman said.
Gen Z has quickly developed somewhat of a negative reputation in the workforce. A poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek last year found that 40 percent of U.S. adults said their Gen Z colleagues to be difficult to work with, and recent research found that Gen Z are likely to stretch the truth in job interviews.
And the generation's entry into the workforce has come in tandem with the so-called "AI revolution." According to a recent study from KPMG, 66 percent of people regular use artificial intelligence (AI), and 83 percent believe AI will result in benefits.
It's no secret that Gen Z grew up on technology, with smartphones often having been integrated into their life from an early age. As a result, they're more tech-savvy than other generations.
Hoffman highlighted this in his LinkedIn post, writing "You were born into this shift. You're native to these tools in a way that older generations aren't. Lean into it. Teach others."
Newsweek spoke to Dr. Fabian Stephany, an assistant professor for AI and Work at the University of Oxford, about how AI impacts job prospects for Gen Z. He shared with Newsweek some of the findings from his own research team, the Skill Scale Project.
Stephany told Newsweek, citing research published in ScienceDirect, that "across all age groups, workers who can integrate generative AI into day-to-day tasks enjoy 23 percent higher wages on average, and they're roughly twice as likely to be offered perks such as paid parental leave."
Dr. Keith Arundale of the Henley Business School in the United Kingdom told Newsweek via email that "AI is going to be ubiquitous."
"Venture capitalists love it because it is disruptive—it is disrupting all sorts of sectors: healthcare, education, legal etc. and it has the ability to see massive growth and get the huge returns that VC want," Arundale said.
And he has noticed it among his students, telling Newsweek they are "using AI very effectively in their assignments, to research and explore ideas," though he noted that they do not use it to write their essays for them.
However, this tech is not without its issues.
Stephany told Newsweek that according to his team's data, Gen Z are the "heaviest chatbot users."
"Our 2024 UK data show 30 percent of Gen Z (under 30) use a chatbot at least weekly versus 15 percent of the overall workforce," however, the skill set among these users varies wildly, with only 45 percent scoring highly on AI literacy, according to Stephany and the team's data.
And according to Keri Mesropov, founder of Spring Talent Development, the AI story is not simple.
"AI is only as powerful as the questions it is asked. And the durable human skills needed to reveal its true value including critical thinking, emotional intelligence, communication and nuanced problem-solving, are precisely the area in which many young professionals are still developing," she told Newsweek via email.
Mesropov also noted that training matters.
"Gen Zers who receive AI training _and_ soft skill development will absolutely have a competitive edge."
However, "we can't leave them to figure it out alone," Mesropov said. "Digital native" doesn't automatically mean "AI fluent."
So, what's next for Gen Z and AI?
"Gen Z grads who blend domain savvy with AI fluency will carve out roles that didn’t exist five years ago—prompt engineer, model auditor, workflow orchestrator. The bar is rising, but so are the opportunities for those who invest in deeper competence," Stephany told Newsweek.
He added: "Comfort without mastery can backfire. Gen Z's early exposure is an advantage, but it isn't a golden ticket." | 2 days ago | Newsweek | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 3 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

When Aamna Coskun first started her career as a recruiter more than a decade go, she recalls that the “post and pray” strategy was prevalent. “Networking wasn’t even that much of a thing,” she says.
Then, around 2017, applicant tracking systems (ATS) – software that helps hiring managers and recruiters post jobs, screen candidate resumes, schedule interviews and communicate with them – came into the fold.
When it came to reviewing resumes, ATSes used to require filters and Boolean search strings: entering certain parameters and keywords such as years of experience, proficiency in a certain coding language or geographic location, to narrow down the best candidates. But now, Ms. Coskun says, ATSes are increasingly enabled with AI-powered features that automate this process.
“It helps me highlight the high-priority matches,” she explains. “If there’s a list of 50 candidates and 10 of them show up as recommended, I would look at them first.” She says that the recommendations are often accurate – around six or seven out of 10 will be a strong match. “Those are the ones I will quickly interview, so I’m not missing out on them.”
Ms. Coskun believes Canada’s HR industry has been slow to adopt AI in its practices and [an Indeed report from March 2025](https:////d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net//assets//sites//13//2025//01//21162341//Smarter-Hiring-With-Data-Driven-Insights_CA_en.pdf "https:////d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net//assets//sites//13//2025//01//21162341//Smarter-Hiring-With-Data-Driven-Insights_CA_en.pdf") found that 27 per cent of hiring managers in Canada are using AI-powered tools for recruitment, compared to 51 per cent of American hiring managers.
Ms. Coskun says that companies aren’t required to tell applicants that they’re using AI-enabled software to screen candidates, and that it would be difficult for a job seeker to opt out of the system. But she says that regulations could change.
“Five years ago, we said that companies need to be sharing pay bands, so it’s a slow burn,” Ms. Coskun says of pay transparency legislation that is coming into play in provinces like British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario.
She adds that most candidates are not able to opt out of screening that involves AI or ATSes, unfortunately. Candidates generally need to accept certain terms or conditions when they’re submitting an application through the company’s selected software platform.
There is a concern that the uptick of AI-enabled ATSes could dehumanize the experience for job hunters. A resume could be “auto-rejected” or filtered out by a system when it doesn’t meet the threshold. For example, having eight years of experience when a minimum of 10 years was listed on the job posting. A good recruiter might still consider that candidate if they’re strong in every other aspect, but the resume could be missed, especially if there are too many applicants to review each one manually. When time permits, Ms. Coskun says good recruiters can and should still manually review all candidates.
But, on the flipside, Ms. Coskun explains, using AI to select the right candidates faster can also help those who didn’t make the cut know sooner, so that they aren’t being strung along in the hiring process. Ms. Coskun speaks of “bulk reject” functions that inform unqualified candidates that their applications were declined. Ideally, rejection letters would be sent with a reason, like being in the wrong geographic location or not having enough years of experience.
Being a job applicant in the age of AI means that it’s even more important for resumes to be written in the right way, says Amelia Lam, the head of talent acquisition at Wagepoint, a Calgary-based online payroll software provider for small businesses. “Tailor resumes to make sure it captures some of the skill sets that are required from the job posting,” Ms. Lam advises.
She says that AI can be helpful for candidates in the job-hunting process, for example, to keep a summary statement short but detailed. ChatGPT can also be used to research a company, find out who the hiring manager is and whether the company is a right fit (if, for example, you want to work for companies with small teams of fewer than 50 people or who have a female founder). But she cautions against careless overuse – she’s seen applicants who have used ChatGPT to help generate a summary statement, for example, and copied and pasted the whole response onto their resume, prompt and all.
Ms. Lam has also seen evidence of candidates using ChatGPT during video interviews. “There is always a short pause before they answer my question, and the way they answer sounds very structured and robotic,” she explains. “I have seen a reflection of someone’s screen in their glasses, and someone’s eyes moving back and forth when they’re answering me.” Both Ms. Lam and Ms. Coskun see the greater integration of AI into recruiting as inevitable. While we’re not quite at the stage of inputting natural language into an ATS filled with job applications, such as statements like: “I have a very difficult employee on this team. I need a person who can come in and manage this,” Ms. Coskun thinks this technology is coming.
“There’s a level of emotional intelligence that’s embedded in people’s resumes, and that’s a very hard thing to do without actually interviewing them,” she says. “But I wouldn’t be surprised if there are tools out there that are working towards this kind of custom search.” | 5 hours ago | The Globe and Mail | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 4 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

By Ernestine Siu
Artificial intelligence makes people more valuable, according to PwC's 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer report.
Despite widespread fears that artificial intelligence could automate jobs and cut employees' wages, AI actually makes people "more valuable, not less," new research by professional services firm PwC found.
"What causes people to react in this environment is the speed of the tech innovation," PwC Global Chief AI Officer, Joe Atkinson told CNBC Make It. "The reality is that the tech innovation is moving really, really fast. It's moving at a pace that we've never seen in a tech innovation before."
"What the report suggests, actually, is AI is creating jobs," Atkinson said.
We know that every time we have an industrial revolution, there are more jobs created than lost. The challenge is that the skills workers need for the new jobs can be quite different.
In fact, both jobs and wages are growing in "virtually every" AI-exposed occupation — or jobs that have tasks where the technology can be used — including those that are the most automatable, such as customer service workers or software coders, according to the 2025 AI Jobs Barometer report.
"We know that every time we have an industrial revolution, there are more jobs created than lost. The challenge is that the skills workers need for the new jobs can be quite different," said Carol Stubbings, PwC UK's global chief commercial officer, in the report.
"So the challenge, we believe, is not that there won't be jobs. It's that workers need to be prepared to take them," said Stubbings.
The report, which analyzed over 800 million job ads and thousands of company financial reports across six continents, challenged six common myths about AI's impact:
1. Productivity
Myth: AI has not yet had a significant impact on productivity.
However, the report found that since 2022, productivity growth in industries "best positioned to adopt AI" has nearly quadrupled, while falling slightly in industries "least exposed" to AI, such as physical therapy.
Notably, the industries that are the most exposed to AI, such as software publishing, showed three times higher growth in revenue per employee, according to PwC's data.
2. Wages
Myth: AI can have a negative impact on workers' wages and bargaining power.
PwC's data showed that the wages of workers with AI skills are on average 56% higher compared to workers without these skills in the same occupation, up from 25% last year. In addition, wages are rising twice as fast in industries that are the most exposed to AI compared to the industries least exposed.
3. Job Numbers
Myth: AI may lead to a decrease in job numbers.
The report found that while occupations with lower exposure to AI saw strong job growth at 65% between 2019 and 2024, growth remained robust — albeit slower — even in occupations more exposed to the technology (38%).
4. Inequality
Myth: AI may exacerbate inequalities in opportunities and wages for workers.
Contrary to fears that AI will worsen inequality, the report findings show that wages and employment are rising for jobs that are augmentable and automatable by the technology.
The report noted that employer demand for formal degrees is declining faster in AI-exposed jobs, creating broader opportunities "for millions".
5. Skills
Myth: AI may "deskill" jobs that it automates.
The report found that instead, AI can enrich automatable jobs by freeing up employees from tedious tasks to practice more complex skills and decision making. For example, data entry clerks can evolve into a "higher value" role such as data analysts, according to PwC.
6. Automation
Myth: AI may devalue jobs that it highly automates.
The data shows that not only are wages rising for jobs that are highly automatable, but the technology is also reshaping these jobs to become more "complex and creative," and ultimately, make people more valuable.
Could 'gentler' job growth be helpful?
The study offers another perspective: In a world where many countries have declining working-age populations, softening job growth in AI-exposed occupations could even "be helpful" and benefit such countries.
The productivity boost by AI can actually create a "multiplier effect" on the available workforce and satisfy the gaps that companies might not have been able to be fill otherwise, as well as growth for businesses, said Atkinson.
"It's a prediction supported already by the productivity data we're seeing," he added. "I think it could absolutely and will be a good thing."
It is critical to avoid the trap of low ambition. Instead of limiting our focus to automating yesterday's jobs, let's create the new jobs and industries of the future.
Ultimately, the study takes the stance that AI should be treated "as a growth strategy, not just an efficiency strategy." Rather than using the technology to cut costs on headcount, companies should help their employees adapt and work together to create new opportunities, claim new markets and revenue streams.
"It is critical to avoid the trap of low ambition. Instead of limiting our focus to automating yesterday's jobs, let's create the new jobs and industries of the future," the report said.
"AI, if used with imagination, could spark a flowering of new jobs and new business models. For example, 2/3 of jobs in the U.S. today did not exist in 1940, and many of these new jobs were enabled by advances in technology," the report added. | 1 week ago | CNBC | null | 7 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |
For Some Recent Graduates, the A.I. Job Apocalypse May Already Be Here | https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/technology/ai-jobs-college-graduates.html | For Some Recent Graduates, the A.I. Job Apocalypse May Already Be Here. The unemployment rate for recent college graduates has jumped as... | This month, millions of young people will graduate from college and look for work in industries that have little use for their skills, view them as expensive and expendable, and are rapidly phasing out their jobs in favor of artificial intelligence.
That is the troubling conclusion of my conversations over the past several months with economists, corporate executives and young job-seekers, many of whom pointed to an emerging crisis for entry-level workers that appears to be fueled, at least in part, by rapid advances in A.I. capabilities.
You can see hints of this in the economic data. Unemployment for recent college graduates has jumped to an unusually high 5.8 percent in recent months, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently warned that the employment situation for these workers had “deteriorated noticeably.” Oxford Economics, a research firm that studies labor markets, found that unemployment for recent graduates was heavily concentrated in technical fields like finance and computer science, where A.I. has made faster gains.
“There are signs that entry-level positions are being displaced by artificial intelligence at higher rates,” the firm wrote in a recent report.
But I’m convinced that what’s showing up in the economic data is only the tip of the iceberg. In interview after interview, I’m hearing that firms are making rapid progress toward automating entry-level work, and that A.I. companies are racing to build “virtual workers” that can replace junior employees at a fraction of the cost. Corporate attitudes toward automation are changing, too — some firms have encouraged managers to become “A.I.-first,” testing whether a given task can be done by A.I. before hiring a human to do it.
One tech executive recently told me his company had stopped hiring anything below an L5 software engineer — a midlevel title typically given to programmers with three to seven years of experience — because lower-level tasks could now be done by A.I. coding tools. Another told me that his start-up now employed a single data scientist to do the kinds of tasks that required a team of 75 people at his previous company.
Anecdotes like these don’t add up to mass joblessness, of course. Most economists believe there are multiple factors behind the rise in unemployment for college graduates, including a hiring slowdown by big tech companies and broader uncertainty about President Trump’s economic policies.
But among people who pay close attention to what’s happening in A.I., alarms are starting to go off.
“This is something I’m hearing about left and right,” said Molly Kinder, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, a public policy think tank, who studies the impact of A.I. on workers. “Employers are saying, ‘These tools are so good that I no longer need marketing analysts, finance analysts and research assistants.’”

Using A.I. to automate white-collar jobs has been a dream among executives for years. (I heard them fantasizing about it in Davos back in 2019.) But until recently, the technology simply wasn’t good enough. You could use A.I. to automate some routine back-office tasks — and many companies did — but when it came to the more complex and technical parts of many jobs, A.I. couldn’t hold a candle to humans.
Kevin Roose and Casey Newton are the hosts of Hard Fork, a podcast that makes sense of the rapidly changing world of technology. Subscribe and listen.
That is starting to change, especially in fields, such as software engineering, where there are clear markers of success and failure. (Such as: Does the code work or not?) In these fields, A.I. systems can be trained using a trial-and-error process known as reinforcement learning to perform complex sequences of actions on their own. Eventually, they can become competent at carrying out tasks that would take human workers hours or days to complete.
This approach was on display last week at an event held by Anthropic, the A.I. company that makes the Claude chatbot. The company claims that its most powerful model, Claude Opus 4, can now code for “several hours” without stopping — a tantalizing possibility if you’re a company accustomed to paying six-figure engineer salaries for that kind of productivity.
A.I. companies are starting with software engineering and other technical fields because that’s where the low-hanging fruit is. (And, perhaps, because that’s where their own labor costs are highest.) But these companies believe the same techniques will soon be used to automate work in dozens of occupations, ranging from consulting to finance to marketing.
Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s chief executive, recently predicted that A.I. could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years.
That timeline could be wildly off, if firms outside tech adopt A.I. more slowly than many Silicon Valley companies have, or if it’s harder than expected to automate jobs in more creative and open-ended occupations where training data is scarce.
But even if A.I. doesn’t take all the entry-level jobs right away, two trends concern me.
The first is that, in a rush to boost productivity and stay ahead of the curve, some companies may be turning to A.I. too early, before the tools are robust enough to handle full entry-level workloads. (We recently saw an example of this in Klarna, the Swedish buy-now-pay-later company, which declared two years ago that it was replacing customer service agents with A.I. chatbots, only to reverse course and rehire humans after customers complained.)
Some executives are making a calculated bet that A.I. systems will improve quickly — or that the money they stand to save by employing virtual workers instead of human ones is worth a few unhappy customers. But others may not realize the risks they’re taking.
The second is that even if entry-level jobs don’t disappear right away, the expectation that those jobs are short-lived may lead companies to underinvest in job training, mentorship and other programs aimed at entry-level workers. That could leave those workers unprepared for more senior roles later on.
“Nobody has patience or time for hand-holding in this new environment, where a lot of the work can be done by A.I. autonomously,” Heather Doshay, the head of people and talent at the venture capital firm SignalFire, told me.
If there’s a silver lining for recent graduates, it’s that — at least for some of them — the threat of A.I. replacement seems to be lighting a useful kind of fire. Some young workers I spoke to are using their experience with A.I. to vault themselves ahead of more senior colleagues, and others are steering clear of the traditional ladder-climbing professions altogether.
Trevor Chow, 23, a recent Stanford graduate living in San Francisco, told me that many friends had weighed A.I. progress among their considerations when looking for jobs. Few of them were going into traditional tech and finance careers, he said, and more were doing risky things like starting companies — on the theory that if humans are about to lose their labor advantages to powerful A.I. systems, they had better hurry and do something big.
“It feels like there aren’t that many years left to do things,” he said. “If the amount of leverage you have as a human becomes very small, a lot of career paths that don’t pay off for many years aren’t worthwhile.” | 2 weeks ago | The New York Times | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 8 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |
A.I. Might Take Your Job. Here Are 22 New Ones It Could Give You. | https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/magazine/ai-new-jobs.html | First, a confession: I tried writing this essay with A.I.. Listen to this article, read by Malcolm Hillgartner. Listen · 26:52 min. | I started with ChatGPT’s “deep research” mode, asking it to compile a report on what new jobs for humans might be created by the rise of A.I. It asked a few follow-up questions and then set off, returning with a 6,000-word report, broken down by industry. I fed that report into ChatGPT 4o — along with the original assignment memo from my editor and a few other recent industry reports on the future of work — and asked for an article in the style of The New York Times Magazine.
It was done within 90 minutes. The article was lively and informative, and while some of its imagined future careers were a bit fanciful (a “synthetic relationship counselor” apparently will be someone who can step in when you’re in love with your A.I.), it also covered an interesting spectrum of plausible jobs and featured some delightful turns of phrase. To the average reader, it likely would have come across as a breezy Sunday read with just enough interesting points to warrant a bit of reflection.
So why aren’t you reading that version? Well, for starters, it would have gotten me fired: Almost all quotes and experts in the article were entirely made up. But I had a deeper, more philosophical concern. Even if the A.I.-written version of this piece was entirely factual, submitting it to my editors would have represented a fundamental misunderstanding of why they hired me. In freelance journalism, as in many fields where the work product is written text, you aren’t just being paid for the words you submit. You’re being paid to be responsible for them: the facts, the concepts, the fairness, the phrasing. This article is running with my byline, which means that I personally stand behind what you’re reading; by the same token, my editor is responsible for hiring me, and so on, a type of responsibility that inherently can’t be delegated to a machine.
Commentators have become increasingly bleak about the future of human work in an A.I. world. The venture-capitalist investor Chris Sacca recently went on Tim Ferriss’s podcast and declared that “we are super [expletive].” He suggested that computer programmers, lawyers, accountants, marketing copywriters and most other white-collar workers were all doomed. In an email to his staff, Fiverr’s chief executive, Micha Kaufman, added designers and salespeople to the list of the soon-to-be-damned.
Such laments about A.I. have become common, but rarely do they explore how A.I. gets over the responsibility hurdle I’m describing. It’s already clear that A.I. is more than capable of handling many human tasks. But in the real world, our jobs are about much more than the sum of our tasks: They’re about contributing our labor to a group of other humans — our bosses and colleagues — who can understand us, interact with us and hold us accountable in ways that don’t easily transfer to algorithms.
This doesn’t mean the disruptions from A.I. won’t be profound. “Our data is showing that 70 percent of the skills in the average job will have changed by 2030,” said Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer. According to the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs report, nine million jobs are expected to be “displaced” by A.I. and other emergent technologies in the next five years. But A.I. will create jobs, too: The same report says that, by 2030, the technology will also lead to some 11 million new jobs. Among these will be many roles that have never existed before.
If we want to know what these new opportunities will be, we should start by looking at where new jobs can bridge the gap between A.I.’s phenomenal capabilities and our very human needs and desires. It’s not just a question of where humans want A.I., but also: Where does A.I. want humans? To my mind, there are three major areas where humans either are, or will soon be, more necessary than ever: trust, integration and taste.
Trust
Robert Seamans, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business who studies the economic consequences of A.I., envisions a new set of roles he calls A.I. auditors — people who dig down into the A.I. to understand what it is doing and why and can then document it for technical, explanatory or liability purposes. Within the next five years, he told me, he suspects that all big accounting firms will include “A.I. audits” among their offerings.

A related job he imagines is an A.I. translator: someone who understands A.I. well enough to explain its mechanics to others in the business, particularly to leaders and managers. “The A.I. translator helps to interface between something that’s super-technical and what a manager knows and understands — and what they need to know in order to make a decision,” Seamans said.
In a sense, both of Seamans’s visions fall into a broader category of “trust.” I didn’t submit my A.I.-generated article in part because that would have betrayed my editors’ trust, but also because I didn’t trust it — trust that it was true, trust that it got the facts right. Because I hadn’t done the work and the thinking myself, I couldn’t tell if it was being fair or reasonable. Everyone who tries to use A.I. professionally will face a version of this problem: The technology can provide astonishing amounts of output in an instant, but how much are we supposed to trust what it’s giving us? And how can we know?

As A.I. continues to become more influential in our jobs and organizations, we’re going to develop a lot of these trust issues. Solving them will require humans.
Under the “trust” umbrella will be a whole new breed of fact checkers and compliance officers. Legal documents, annual reports, product specifications, research reports, HVAC contracts — all of these will soon be written by A.I., and all will need humans to review and verify them with an eye toward the surprising and weird mistakes A.I. is prone to make.
This may give rise to a title that could be called trust authenticator or trust director. And such jobs will need to be adjacent to other new roles, which are essentially variations on an A.I. ethicist. It will be these ethicists’ jobs to build chains of defensible logic that can be used to support decisions made by A.I. (or by hybrid A.I.-and-human teams) to a wide variety of interested parties, including investors, managers, customers and perhaps even judges and juries. “Many companies have played around with the idea of an ‘ethics board,’” Seamans said. “I think that you could imagine a future where these A.I. ethics boards are empowered a lot more than they tend to be today.”
At its core, trust is about accountability — and this is where a human in the loop is most critical. In everything from contracts to nuclear-launch systems, we need humans to be accountable. “There should be a human who ultimately takes responsibility,” said Erik Brynjolfsson, director of the digital economy lab at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and also a founder of the A.I. consulting company Workhelix. “Right now if a car crashes, you have to sort out: Is it the antilock brakes? Was it the driver? Was there something wrong in the road? If it’s the antilock brakes, who was it who made that part? And they trace it back to who ultimately is responsible for that thing. It may be a complex chain of causality, and it’s going to get that much more complicated with A.I., but ultimately you have to trace it back to somebody who takes responsibility.”
In a number of fields, from law to architecture, A.I. will be able to do much of the basic work customers need, from writing a contract to designing a house. But at some point, a human, perhaps even a certified one, needs to sign off on this work. You might call this new role a legal guarantor: someone who provides the culpability that the A.I. cannot. Ethan Mollick, a professor at the Wharton School of Business and the author of “Co-Intelligence: Living and Working With A.I.,” refers to such jobs as the “sin eaters” for A.I. — the final stop in the responsibility chain.

Another new role will be some type of consistency coordinator. A.I. is good at many things, but being consistent isn’t one of them. Can a fashion house be assured that a particular dress will be accurate and consistently represented across dozens of A.I.-generated photographs? In manufacturing, can a virtual twin manager — someone who manages and tweaks software versions of real-world objects and systems — be sure that A.I.-made digital replicas will stay consistent as new changes are implemented? And when A.I. isn’t consistent, it can’t be trusted. This is where a dedicated role, one that can accept accountability, will be needed to validate consistency across systems and organizations.
One more possibility: escalation officer. In an essay titled “What Will Remain for People to Do?” the writer and economist Daniel Susskind points out that there are roles that humans simply prefer other humans to perform. He brings up the fact that professional chess remains popular despite the fact that A.I. has long been able to trounce the best chess players. But our preferences will almost certainly also require someone to step in when the A.I. just feels … inhuman. In customer service, when the A.I. has been going around and around, people will want to speak with a human capable of empathy and understanding. Such roles will also most likely be important in education, where students and parents feel the need for human intervention when something goes wrong.
Integration
Given the complexity of A.I., many of the new jobs will be technical in nature. There will be a great need for people who deeply understand A.I. and can map that knowledge into business needs.
Seamans calls this group the A.I. integrators: experts who figure out how to best use A.I. in a company, then implement it. “A C.E.O. might say on an earnings call, ‘We’re investing in A.I.,’” Seamans told me. “But to do what? Is it some back-office functions like bill-pay and collections? Is it employment and screening? Is it some sort of work flow with your white-collar workers for whatever your business is?” Figuring this out takes someone who knows both the technology and the company.
This includes people who fix the A.I. when it breaks, which will look a little different than traditional I.T. specialists. As A.I. becomes more “agentic” — meaning that A.I. agents are out solving complex tasks on their own — the systems will become more deeply layered. When something goes awry, this will require someone who can dig through the network to find what went wrong, why it went wrong and how to repair it: an A.I. plumber, so to speak, who must snake the pipes of the entire system.
Deciding which tools to use, and when, is a complex problem. The learning-and-tutoring empire Khan Academy, for example, has deeply integrated A.I. models into its business and products, building virtual tutors to help children with everything from algebra to essay writing. Just keeping track of the models — how they’ve improved, how much they lie or “hallucinate,” which ones are currently better at language or math — is a continuing chore. “These models are constantly changing,” said Sal Khan, who founded Khan Academy. “You’re constantly making perceived improvements to features, but you need to evaluate whether you’re regressing.” Roles created simply to evaluate the latest and greatest models might simply be called A.I. assessors.
But this is still just the beginning. “When my students ask me, ‘What kind of company should I be starting?’ I often steer them in the direction of, ‘Be the person who connects customer problems to the power of the technology,’” Brynjolfsson said.
Integration jobs are already on the rise, according to LinkedIn’s Raman, even if their titles are fairly staid. “‘Head of A.I.’ jobs are up, I think, three times in the last five years,” he said. “A.I. engineers are the fastest growing role in the U.S., followed by A.I. consultants.” In the future, they might carry more specific titles, like integration specialist.
You can reliably expect these types of integration jobs to become more specific as A.I. progresses. Companies are already using A.I. models that are highly customized to the organization. These models may be built on general tools like Claude or ChatGPT, but they also have access to and train on the company’s proprietary data. This potentially creates two new roles. One is simply the A.I. trainer: the person whose job it is to help the A.I. find and digest the best, most useful data a company has and then teach it to respond in accurate and helpful ways.
The other role emerges from the fact that these custom A.I.s will interact with employees all over the organization and possibly even customers. This creates an unusual issue: What is your company’s “A.I. personality?” Is it cloying and overly complimentary, as some recent A.I. models have been? Is it sardonic and grumpy, like ChatGPT’s Monday model? An A.I. personality director will fine-tune these issues, and in the future, an organization’s A.I. personality could become as core to its brand as its logo.
There are, of course, very complicated industries where A.I. holds enormous promise but also enormous risks. Perhaps at the top of that list is health care. It’s not hard to imagine this field requiring many different kinds of integration roles, such as a drug-compliance optimizer — a person who develops A.I.-driven systems to make sure patients take the right medications at the correct time. In such complicated industries, we’ll also very likely see an A.I./human evaluation specialist: someone who determines where A.I. performs best, where humans are either better or simply needed and where a hybrid team might be optimal.
To highlight the importance of getting integration right, Seamans tells a story from robotics, another field he studies. Like A.I., robotics is an automation technology positioned to displace human workers. But research shows that manufacturers who incorporate robotics usually end up with more human employees, not fewer. Why? “Nobody knows,” Seamans said. He suspects the reason is that as robotic factories grow and thrive, they steal business from other factories, which enables them to expand. “It looks like what’s happening is that growth is coming at the expense of firms that are not adopting robots,” Seamans said.
But manufacturers, Seamans explains, are not robotic experts, and incorporating robots requires someone specialized not just in robots but in reconstructing manufacturing lines to accommodate them. This has given rise to specialized robot integrators. And these integrators are vital, though they are not evenly available geographically. Some places have them, and some places don’t.
“Imagine two places that are equally dense, with these types of manufacturers,” Seamans said. “If one of them has a local integrator, that one is much more likely to have robots than the other area.” And the one that has robots may succeed and grow, while the other may shrink and die. “It points to the really important need of someone who can sort of bridge the technology and the industry expertise,” Seamans said.
Taste
It will remain a human’s job, of course, to tell the A.I. what to do. But telling A.I. what to do requires having a vision for exactly what you want. In a future where most of us have access to the same generative tools, taste will become incredibly important.
There is a viral “60 Minutes” clip that’s worth considering on this point, an interview of the music producer Rick Rubin by Anderson Cooper. In it, Cooper tries to understand what, exactly, Rubin does.
“Do you play instruments?” Cooper asks.
“Barely,” Rubin answers.
“Do you know how to work a sound board?” Cooper asks.
“No,” Rubin says. “I have no technical ability. And I know nothing about music.”
After a bit more back-and-forth, Cooper asks, “So what are you being paid for?”
Rubin answers the question: “The confidence I have in my taste, and my ability to express what I feel, has proven helpful for artists.”
This undoubtedly undersells what Rubin does, but the idea of primarily being valued for your very confident taste resonates in an A.I. future. As A.I. expands, for better or worse, we will start to see a form of creativity without craft.
One reason I wasn’t ready to let A.I. write this article for me came down to a trust issue. But I can see a future in which that won’t necessarily be the case. In that future, provided my editor and I can trust the A.I., the job of writing this article may very well come down to selecting the inputs, then picking and choosing phrases, paragraphs and lines of reasoning offered by Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and others. I will still be the “author” of the article, but perhaps not the writer.
When creative options are nearly limitless, people with the ability to make bold, stylish choices will be in demand. And this will be true not just for creative industries such as writing, filmmaking and advertising but for business of all kinds. Knowing what you want — and having a sense of what will resonate with customers — will be the core human role in developing products and systems.
Given this, it might seem surprising that “designer” is often on the list of jobs that A.I. is expected to replace. It’s true that graphic designers, for example, won’t need to point and click their way to compelling layouts or perfectly kerned typefaces; the A.I. will do that. But at their most fundamental level, what designers actually do is marshal creative choices to a desired outcome. This requires making a whole bunch of choices based on taste: What is needed from a logo or page design? How do you know when it’s good? How do you know when it will have impact? How do you even know when it’s finished? Rather than go away, in the future, the term “designer” might actually grow to cover a whole range of jobs in which a person’s main function is to steer A.I. to create something compelling — a product, a service, a process — based largely on their taste.
There are some titles we already have, like product designer, that will simply grow to encompass a whole lot more. In the future, product designers will have a much greater ability to own products, from top to bottom. The role will be not just about the big picture but also about all the choices that bring that big picture to life.
And there are other design qualifiers that will likely come into vogue. I might, for example, not be a writer but an article designer. Story designer might become a more popular title in film and TV. We could see a lot more world designers in everything from marketing — where a person fabricates an entire universe, complete with fictional characters and locations, which then feeds all the images and videos of a campaign — to video games. Many of these roles will be more focused on style than on technical execution.
But these are creative industries. Things get perhaps more interesting when you consider such roles in noncreative fields. You might see a human resources designer who can more thoroughly control everything from training materials to detailed benefits-and-leave policies, giving them a more pronounced ability to personally shape the entire culture of an organization. We might see civil designers, who are more focused on the creative part of the job than the math and physics, favored over civil engineers.
“Designer” may not end up being the preferred nomenclature, but it usefully signifies the shift. More and more people will be tasked with making creative and taste decisions, steering the A.I. where they want it to go. And these people will be lower and lower on the seniority chart. One of the major concerns with A.I. today is that it is taking the lower-level jobs, which are traditionally focused on the kind of rote work that A.I. excels at. Raman wrote a guest essay about this issue in The Times, but to me, he also pointed out a potential solution: A.I. can help novice workers overcome their inexperience, helping them fill in deficiencies in everything from writing and research to design and development.
This means that rather than have rookie employees compile reports or write memos — things the A.I. is good at — you might have them start, say, creating new ideas for products right away. Traditionally, this kind of work would be reserved for deeply experienced workers, but it won’t need to stay that way. By empowering young, inexperienced workers, A.I. can enable them to be more entrepreneurial, faster. And this means that a greater range of the organization — with a wider range of perspectives — can be hunting for new great ideas or new areas for growth rather than busying themselves with repetitive office tasks. “As this starts to take off, we’ll find ourselves in a new economy,” Raman said. “Something like the ‘innovation economy,’ with entrepreneurialism as its core.”
Creative decision-making will also most likely become core to a company’s competitiveness. Businesses where intelligence and expertise are the differentiating traits will have to pivot. Take financial-services firms, for example. Once all these firms have access to the same powerful intelligence, how do they stand out from one another? The answer may be found in “taste” roles — how they communicate and market themselves, how they show up to customers, their creative philosophies. You could see a role here for a differentiation designer, whose remit combines branding, philosophy, product, risk tolerance and creative execution.
There’s plenty of reason to lament the loss of craft, of course. It’s grim to imagine an age when our writers don’t write, our musicians don’t play instruments and our illustrators don’t draw. But that’s not really the age we’re entering; the act of craft, after all, will always have a huge impact on thinking. Mollick sees this even when it comes to his academic writing. “I will have it do research in advance, but I will never let it write before I write,” Mollick said of A.I. “I have to write messily to think something through. Otherwise, the A.I. will dominate my thoughts.”
The reality is that people will continue to draw, write and play instruments out of preference and out of need — it’s how they work and think best. But as we enter a radically abundant age in terms of creation, we are certain to see a lot more avenues to creative output that don’t involve the same level of craft. These will come with pitfalls, yes, but also advantages.
Seamans uses Pixar as an analogy to explain the potential benefits of the shift. Before Pixar, he said, “there were these folks who were really high-end in terms of their craft.” Animators put a lot of energy into the drawings in each frame. But once computers could automate that work, the role of the animators shifted. “They were able to spend a lot more time — and, for that matter, put a lot more resources toward — thinking about storytelling and plot development.”
The A.I. future holds the possibility that one day you won’t need to know how to do everything in order to do everything. “We’re all going to be C.E.O.s of a small army of A.I. agents,” Brynjolfsson said. “We have to think, OK: What is it we really want to accomplish? What are the goals here? And we have to think a little bit more deeply about that than we have in the past.”
There are a lot of legitimate concerns about where A.I. is taking us. But if we think carefully enough — if we are intentional about the things we ask of A.I. — our future could look very bright. In other words, we are the designers of our A.I. future. Let’s hope we have great taste. | 5 hours ago | The New York Times | data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBwgHBgkIBwgKCgkLDRYPDQwMDRsUFRAWIB0iIiAdHx8kKDQsJCYxJx8fLT0tMTU3Ojo6Iys/RD84QzQ5OjcBCgoKDQwNGg8PGjclHyU3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3Nzc3N//AABEIAEgAeAMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAbAAACAwEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAEBQADBgIHAf/EADgQAAIBAwIEBAQEBQMFAAAAAAECAwAEEQUhEhMxQQZRYXEUIoGRMqGx0QcjQsHwY4LhFiQzQ2L/xAAaAQADAQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAACAwQFAQAG/8QAJBEAAgMAAgICAgMBAAAAAAAAAQIAAxEEIRIxE1EiQTJhcQX/2gAMAwEAAhEDEQA/AMFaQSXlylvCUEj7AscAV3N8XoU3wwvwZ3bLZUME7etd29ui8TceCVIDDfFURaFxMeVewk/6gK5NZyKGHZ6hrWWGwTW7u6uL0RTySSCMbcXTJ6nFX3kZt7O2iJ34eM/Wi5dHvpWjyI5GQBeJJAdvrVfiIg6i8afhjCoPoKZoAAEaqlV7lMEDsFIIIJwNu9PtE0e5v5hDbNHGV+dpjuEGSMgdzscUut4XVEaNV5gGFZv6T5058PXUunXOYw3JWFYiX2ydzn6Z/OuryF8Oz3FooLYY8XTNN0KAkFmdvleeTdmP9h6Cvkc0lsxmsJUliIyy5yrft71RqdvcXqC4tpQ4IANu52b27Z+3vS34ddLtkuH50N84ZRbcwMuDkAnr23wSfyoWrWxfy72W73451G51mzuiVu9PAdeuArY++K6jl0ptklkh98/32pPZ20ktis8x/mPujdyvYn65+mKFWducbdo2aQdOH+qkrxKl/gxT/D1JbkZe80TVxW9u7cxLhJQuT26VjZFM+oy3DDeRy2fTtRPNjB6lT67UPf3SWluZeIEnZR5mqaKCLDY1nn1kn0ZgGTu/1OOz/l445MfhBxj3pb/1DIG+a2THo2DSpp+YzOxySdya45qNsRVc6ABNPZ6vbXRC5Mch/pfv7GpWWaPuu4qUOT2TXaxYrb6nMYowiFQygDHXr+lALIB0p9ZWBkiUFXd5DnzJJ6V1L4QnWGeXiaNYCBJx42J7etZQ5Ss7HOo6oEDIiD53O/8Aalt0nFfLseEkE4/z0p5c6RNbRmTnKUBwdiD5UKLC4knRnPAgG+G/SnLYjroMJm0QuyVJQOBgfTNMmgVUPNdVQrjfr9KCWNUTfcgdTV8EQlLhyxVQNsnGaiesVt5k6Iqc2mpyWeUJ40U4x5e1XyXGn3siy3JLEDBXjwCPIjuP170Fc2SgMwcqBvlugonT/Dzy3UKy3EQJIYIvzFh13qqrkIxAHs9Ry3MB9wuW/hdGIcU6/h/ovxt/Lqc0Z5cY4YiehY/sM/cUxtvD3huXn6hNEEW0QvNHzCqY67jy2PSjX8VDTLKNYbGJwIwVRG4FX6Yq9eLa7FVHqJt5ZdcAizU9H0671y/hSEDkJHxlGI+c5J9OnDWJ8SeDpCrTWVycJk8uQdfqKPsvEnwM19LchmmuWDk+bU0tdbhvLcvjrtg1r1f85UQanf3JQ4HWzyhrG7hkxNC4X0GQapZXRwGRl8uIYr1GfS45QZLY8Jz+HtQ09m8kBiurdZFG2SAaBuGPuM8555G586+Vbq8S6fqslsCeAgMueoB7VKhZSpIMYO57P4QdZtMniLLC4uIyHHfGDj8jResC3FvOnxcYF3dK54zjhAAHftlc1mfD+oyWNleMqZlnZDGr9FAB6+u/T9q6jt77ULwWdo8RnnBM1xcbhVBHEcdzk4A/Ss4VDwz9S6tx4ACL9Qk591yo97eJjwtkZlbpnA6Dy8/tVUkZQ4cEH1FbBPCVrpUbzQXEtxO2DM0uCGx3A7fc1RdXISFndFdeyjGWJ6Ae+33pS1eP4j0Is05Mn8iZaT8IBJHn6V2kzWsYUwKREP5jZyHPnWjTQIZk47xE5rHIEZIVPQefufyq1dEiROFD8oXhwVBBFGUBGGFWgH8pnEDup4x8wP5UdoeI7xiNjyyBRs2jyGVmjZACAOE7dKutrW209JZ5JOdNGnFwx7gZ6D3pFCNVyg+dA7EtSWYhYUukSahGY4nKISOY2Tgjyx3rjUbBIlELqxVQBlm3b7dK4MksUgZiyyGLjYKf/GD2pOdYl1EMZ5PwMUJU4zjv9sV9Px+b8pI9RVvHNY3dgt7oVm78UXEp75bIq608P6aYTPzLjjU8LBZCmD7CpJcwKMc13JPY1SZxal3Wb5GG+au+dszZP8Yh0LQR4iVS3B0LOSatWGZ2/lORk9Cc1lpdWghuA4kAGfmLHAqzVvFQe2+H0kFQy4ec9f8Ab5e9S3clVGkwwsReJrWO+8QzSxHEUYWMkb8TDr+30qUKruv4WI/OpWFbba7lgcjQMm6V1j4mc4QDJNE6DcRT+K43jcKsNszOS3UnGB+pr7rIhZZYiBgx4OPOsfHKZ/FMBtYyY4yuWVTttvmmIpPHVszRCos2zJ65rjTzaVKlhKEuF3XIyHHdfqKyOj3EY04SOGeO3mR8t1Eecde/Cc5PpTeOW6MgXPy42NKreeWXXuVKFiUq4Cq2cn19Ou1KPQmmalcFi2ZNSFVuF0OVfGCD1qxxwvgHBpTFYLDEDBPLbEnYQt8oPorZUfQVdaLe/G8idearDiWdR28m8j+teA31Ji2e4wALt8oAHc0p1mP4LTpIoOBJriQcJVAD16+taiysubJwKMhVzgnGT5E+9Z3UNDvoybnWmVAolZjGcxIoAYYJHrjfyzQ2WJX0YCWdkzMT6xI8WoonG7ScCmQrgAYxjPnsaTgCLSlkYuksmSydlPv3q9p7i6gBt7V41cZIYcWfftQWp3UvByrxFVyvy42wPaqQroNUznyq/Rin467jYsZFdc7Aj9qsfWpRFwQ20SyH/wBjHjx7A7A/eqmgBjBU5FFeHdGGq6sluzMsaqZJHA3VB5euSB9aaL7APcUUWDS6Vd30auG5jn5nZ33Jr5Hpd9ApWS3bA6FSD+ler2OlaSpW3ayi4DsTxNx+/Fn/AI9KG1Lwndw3rx2SrJbcKurSSgMQc7eu4qd2YidVU9Ty4xshw6lT/wDQxUrV3ARXaOQHiQ4KsehqUnYfxf3Ada1eK1R40J4iNyTXf8OtMudQ1yK5nkeCCdWRBjeTYnOPLb/O8qVoXsQQv3Ik/HsTd3bfAzslxE8ciAgBhjix3HmPWsotzw6nHcHOTIdgN8HOf1qVKntQAzUqsLppmtgk50K4Jx1pxZSwKnCsg4++e9SpXqVB2TXkjBGEFy8BJQjfrSbxkl3rmnxafAeXDJJ/3L8W/L7gep6e2alShs49bt5kdxPkQIHKltpdkWKKEjXAA7+leS65enUdSkdTkluEY6VKlMPuMrH7lrRlUVMdK138NrBHv9Qefi5ZtDEeE4PzMNwex+XrXypQn3DPqcxeCb1NS4tO1iJuFsiVw6yLv3AyCfrvWo8S+J7TSZlV7nn3kcQTkocANvkny6+dSpXjBHZmAudQEs/OkcFpGy5PmetSpUpPiI/Z/9k= | 9 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

## Main Text
On March 21, the Ontario’s Bill 149, Working for Workers Four Act, 2024 (“Bill 149”) received Royal Assent. It introduced significant amendments to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (“ESA”), including a mandate for employers to disclose the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) in publicly advertised job postings. As of January 1, 2026, employers with twenty-five (25) or more employees must include a statement on job postings if AI is used to screen, assess, or select applicants.
Bill 149 amends the ESA by introducing several new requirements, including requirements with respect to AI, which it defines broadly as “a machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers from the input it receives in order to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environment.” With respect to AI, Bill 149 provides that employers must disclose if AI is used in assessing or selecting candidates in any publicly posted job.
The rules apply to external job postings accessible to the public. Notably, Bill 149 exempts internal postings (for current employees only), general “help wanted” signs, and recruitment for work performed outside Ontario. Employers with fewer than twenty-five (25) employees are not currently subject to these obligations.
Automated decision-making is increasingly being used by organizations to attract top talent, streamline the hiring process or aid in performance evaluations. However, potential impact of algorithmic bias and the need for transparency generally remain important considerations around the fair and responsible use of AI. The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) has flagged AI use in employment as a growing risk, citing the potential for indirect discrimination through algorithmic bias.
To prepare for compliance, employers should conduct algorithmic impact assessments, develop transparent disclosure practices, integrate human oversight, train HR and legal teams, and review vendor agreements. By being mindful of transparency and fairness when using AI, employers can reduce the risk of running afoul of disclosure requirements while demonstrating a commitment to ethical hiring practices in an increasingly automated landscape. | 18 hours ago | Data Protection Report |

# Artificial Intelligence in Employment: 2025 Regulatory Update
Sarah Layman, M.S., Dave Schmidt, Ph.D.
DCI Consulting
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into employment decision-making processes for organizations continues to accelerate, as does the evolution of the legal and regulatory environment. This post provides information on key happenings in state and federal regulatory activity as of June 2025.
## State Activity Adds to the Patchwork of Requirements
Colorado, California, and Virginia have seen significant activity in 2025 related to the use of AI that employers need to know about:
Colorado _Status: Passed, In Effect on February 1, 2026_
The [Colorado Consumer Protections in Interactions with Artificial Intelligence Systems](https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb24-205) (CPIAIS) is currently the most comprehensive state law addressing the development and use of AI in high-impact contexts (including employment decision-making).
CPIAIS applies to high-risk AI systems, defined as any AI that makes—or plays a substantial role in making—a “consequential decision,” such as hiring, promotion, or termination.
## Federal Updates
There have also been developments related to AI use and oversight at the federal level in early 2025,including new guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for federal agencies and the withdrawal of previously provided guidance by some federal agencies.
OMB Guidance for Federal Agencies
At the federal level, the White House Office of Management and Budget issued two significant memoranda in April of 2025 addressing AI use and procurement across federal agencies, officially rescinding and replacing Biden-era guidance.
## Looking Ahead: Preparation and Monitoring Needed
As the legal landscape surrounding AI in employment evolves, it is prudent for employers to not only track legislative changes, but also proactively create robust governance teams and frameworks to address the challenges and risks associated with using AI-driven hiring processes. DCI will continue to monitor developments and provide timely updates with practical insight for employers. | 3 days ago | JD Supra | data:image/png;base64,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 | 13 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Unemployment is rising for young professionals
By Joel Mathis, The Week US
published 4 days ago
The arrival of summer always brings an influx of freshly minted college graduates into the job market. This year is different: Artificial intelligence is unsettling the career paths of young grads looking for their first professional work.
AI could "upend entry-level work" for new college grads by automating jobs "previously performed by low-level employees" like legal assistants or early career computer programmers, said ABC News. Some of those jobs will simply disappear, while others will change in significant ways. But it does suggest the "career ladder is being broken," said University of Pennsylvania professor Lynn Wu. It's already a rough time for young professionals: The jobless rate for recent grads is 5.8%, the highest since 2021.
## How bad is it for college grads?
Not good. It's not just the unemployment rate, but also the "underemployment" rate — 41.2% of new grads are working jobs that don't require their degrees, said NBC News. That's up nearly a full percentage point from a year ago. Internship postings are down 11% from last year. The job market for young professionals is "pretty frozen," said Allison Shrivastava, an economist at Indeed Hiring Lab. Some of that is due to President Donald Trump's trade wars. Businesses and workers are "both kind of deer-in-headlights, not sure what to do."
## What happened to 'learn to code?'
Until recently, that was the conventional advice to young people wanting to ensure their long-term viability in the marketplace. No more. AI is "prompting technology companies to hire fewer recent college graduates," said USA Today. Overall, tech companies are "hiring about half the software developers they used to" because AI is "handling basic software development tasks." Microsoft, which just underwent a round of layoffs, says 30% of its code is written by artificial intelligence.
## Is there any reason for optimism?
Optimists say the job market will be reshaped but not destroyed, per CNBC. When an industrial revolution comes along, there are "more jobs created than lost," said Carol Stubbings, an executive with PwC professional services firm. The types of jobs and skills needed to do them will change, however, which means "workers need to be prepared to take them."
That may not help recent grads. The problem for companies is that replacing entry-level workers with AI could lead them to "underinvest in job training, mentorship and other programs" that help new professionals, said Kevin Roose at The New York Times. Businesses will be hurt when the workers they do hire are "unprepared for more senior roles later on." | 3 days ago | The Week | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 16 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Key Points
* Professional and business services, the industry that represents “white collar” and middle and upper-class, educated workers, hasn’t experienced much hiring activity lately.
* However, economists have said that the decline in white-collar job openings is more driven by structural issues in the economy rather than artificial intelligence technology taking people’s jobs.
* “This is more of an economic story and less of an AI disruption story, at least so far,” said Cory Stahle, an economist at Indeed, a job search site.
Artificial intelligence makes people more valuable, according to PwC’s 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer report.
While there hasn’t been much hiring for so-called “white collar” jobs, the contraction is not because of artificial intelligence, economists say. At least, not yet.
Professional and business services, the industry that represents white-collar roles and middle and upper-class, educated workers, hasn’t experienced much hiring activity over the past two years.
In May, job growth in professional and business services declined to -0.4%, slightly down from -0.2% in April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In other words, the sector has been losing job opportunities, according to Cory Stahle, an economist at job search site Indeed.
Meanwhile, industries like health care, construction and manufacturing have seen more job creation. In May, nearly half of the job growth came from health care, which added 62,000 jobs, the bureau found.
However, economists have said that the decline in white-collar job openings is more driven by structural issues in the economy rather than artificial intelligence technology taking people’s jobs.
“We know for a fact that it’s not AI,” said Alí Bustamante, an economist and director at the Roosevelt Institute, a liberal think tank.
Indeed’s Stahle agreed: “This is more of an economic story and less of an AI disruption story, at least so far.”
Artificial intelligence is still in early stages
There are a few reasons AI is not behind the declining job creation in white-collar sectors, according to economists.
For one, the decline in job creation has been happening for years, Bustamante said. In that timeframe, AI technology “was pretty awful,” he said.
What’s more, the technology is even now still in early stages, to the point where the software cannot execute key skills without human intervention, said Stahle.
A 2024 report by Indeed researchers found that of the more than 2,800 unique work skills identified, none are “very likely” to be replaced by generative artificial intelligence. GenAI creates content like text or images based on existing data.
Across five scenarios — “very unlikely,” “unlikely,” “possible,” “likely” and “very likely” — about 68.7% of skills were either “very unlikely” or “unlikely” to be replaced by GenAI technology, the site found.
“We might get to a point where they do, but right now, that’s not necessarily looking like it’s a big factor,” Stahle said.
‘Jobs are going to transform’
While AI has yet to replace human workers, there may come a time where the technology does disrupt the labor force.
“Certainly, jobs are going to transform,” Stahle said. “I’m not going to downplay the potential impacts of AI.”
Stahle said that openings for consulting jobs focused on implementing generative AI have been rising. Over the past year, management consulting roles with AI language accounted for 12.4% of GenAI postings, showing signs of growing demand, per a February report by Indeed.
A separate report by the World Economic Forum in January forecasts that by 2030, the new technology will create 170 million new jobs, or 14% of the current total employment.
However, that growth could be offset by the decline in existing roles. The report cites that about 92 million jobs, or 8% of the current total employment, could be displaced by AI technology.
For knowledge-based workers whose skills may overlap with AI, consider investing in developing skills on how to use AI technology to stay ahead, Stahle said. | 4 days ago | CNBC | null | 19 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

In a recent podcast, Hinton said that AI is advancing so quickly that many white-collar jobs—especially those involving routine intellectual tasks—are at risk of being replaced. He specifically mentioned paralegals and call center workers as particularly vulnerable.
Hinton explained that while some industries might use AI as an assistant to human workers, this will still lead to fewer jobs overall. In many cases, one person with AI tools will be able to do the work that previously required ten people. He believes mass layoffs are likely across many sectors, and that entry-level jobs for recent graduates are already being affected. Hinton said he would be “terrified” to work in a call center today, given the level of automation now possible.
He concluded that mass displacement of workers is more likely than not, and is already happening in some areas. Physical jobs are somewhat safer for now, but the landscape is changing rapidly. | 8 hours ago | Moneycontrol | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 21 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

by: Danielle Ochs, Zachary V. Zagger of Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C.
Thursday, June 12, 2025
On June 2, 2025, the California Senate approved a bill, called the “No Robo Bosses Act,” that would restrict when and how employers can use automated decision-making systems and artificial intelligence (AI) to make employment-related decisions without human oversight.
The proposed “No Robo Bosses Act” (SB 7) in California aims to regulate the use of automated decision-making systems in employment by mandating human oversight and written notice to employees about such systems.
The bill would prohibit employers from relying primarily on automated systems for critical employment decisions and allows affected employees to appeal those decisions within a specified timeframe.
The No Robo Bosses Act, [Senate Bill (SB) No. 7], introduced by California Senator Jerry McNerney on March 6, 2025, and backed by some major labor unions, would require employers to provide written notice that an “automated decision system” (ADS) is used to make employment-related decisions and require human oversight when ADSs are used to guide employment-related decisions.
The bill, which is now under consideration in the California Assembly, would further prohibit employers or vendors engaged by employers from using such systems to “predict” workers’ future behavior or performance.
“The Senate’s passage of SB 7 … sends a strong message: The use of AI in the workplace needs human oversight to ensure that California businesses are not operated by robo bosses,” Senator McNerney said in a statement. “AI must remain a tool controlled by humans, not the other way around.”

## How Corporate America's War on DEI Created a Feeding Frenzy for AI Ethics Jobs
By Jim Stroud
Jun 17, 2025
Let me tell you a story, two stories. One real and sad.
The other, fictional but possible. Inspiring.
**Real and sad**
Candace Byrdsong Williams used to walk into tech boardrooms like she was carrying both a sermon and a scalpel. A Bible verse in her bag, a binder full of DEI metrics in her hand. She’d carved out a career. 18 years of climbing ladders made of thin promises and thick glass ceilings. She was set to become a Chief Diversity Officer. But instead of the C-suite, she got the boot. One more casualty in America’s sudden corporate amnesia about race, equity, and uncomfortable truths.
Now she sits in her sunlit North Carolina living room, the kind of space where ambition goes to quietly bleed out. Her girls’ photos are on the mantle. The air smells like jasmine, maybe defeat. Her favorite scripture — “God is within her, she will not fall” — hangs over a stack of leadership books written for jobs that no longer exist. She flips open _The Chief Diversity Officer_ like it’s an obituary. And maybe it is.
“I was hoping that was going to be the next role,” she says, “prior to the current political climate.”
**Fictional, but possible. Inspiring.**
Meanwhile, on the Other Side of the Storm…
Sarah Chen, she saw the next wave coming and decided to pivot, not waiting to drown. When companies started swapping DEI for PR damage control, she rebranded. Moved fast. She took her bias-analysis brain, her stakeholder jiu-jitsu, and her corporate thick skin and walked it straight into the AI ethics boom. The same skills. Double the pay. Less hostility. More influence.
She’s not fighting to be heard anymore. She’s sitting in on engineering reviews and redlining machine learning code for bias before it goes live. The same battle, different battlefield.
## **$2.6 Billion in Arbitrage**
Between 2023 and 2025, more than 2,600 DEI jobs vanished. Not reduced. Not “reimagined.” Erased. At the same time, AI ethics jobs skyrocketed. Colorado State called it the #1 most in-demand AI job for 2025. Salaries crossed six figures like it was nothing. And companies? Desperate for people who could decode bias without burning the building down.
What happened was simple:
* The DEI label got political.
* The problems stayed.
* The solution? Rebrand, reframe, relocate.
You don’t fight bias in conference rooms anymore. You do it in code reviews and compliance audits. Welcome to the future.
## **DEI’s DEMISE — AND WHO SAW IT COMING**
Some saw it as betrayal. Others called it a market correction.
When George Floyd hit the world like a tuning fork in 2020, companies responded. Loudly. Statements poured in. Money got pledged. Chief Diversity Officers were hired like the problem could be solved with a title and a tagline.
But for some Americans, the response felt performative. They saw DEI not as progress, but politics in corporate drag. And when the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in higher ed, it sent a signal: the winds had changed.
## **THE SKILLS THAT SURVIVED THE MASSACRE**
The job title died. But the skill set didn’t.
When the dust settled, something strange happened: recruiters didn’t stop calling. They just started using new words. “Trust & Safety.” “Ethics & Integrity.” “Responsible AI.”
Turns out, the same skills that kept workplace culture from imploding are now the ones keeping algorithms from spiraling into lawsuits.
## **THE NEW GOLD RUSH: WHO’S IN AND WHO’S STILL LOCKED OUT**
The AI ethics job market is booming. But it’s not a free-for-all. It’s a gated community with a dress code, and a bouncer that speaks in Ivy League credentials.
Companies say they want ethics. What they really want is plausible deniability in a lab coat. Which means the people getting hired aren’t always the ones with lived experience. They’re the ones with the right keywords on LinkedIn.
## **WHERE IT ALL LANDS**
So what are we left with?
A strange convergence. The wreckage of one profession becoming the foundation of another. A hiring spree fueled not by progress, but by panic. And a question no one seems ready to answer out loud:
Is this a step forward, or just a side shuffle in better clothes?
Some say we’ve upgraded. That AI ethics is what DEI always wanted to be: measurable, technical, immune to culture war rhetoric. That ethics teams embedded in product cycles can do more to fight bias than a dozen PowerPoint decks on unconscious bias ever could.
Others say it’s a reboot without resolution. That instead of fixing the equity failures of the past, we’ve buried them under a layer of machine learning jargon and called it progress. | 24 minutes ago | TLNT | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 23 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

By Mengxi Zhang on August 23, 2023
California is one step closer to having a regulatory framework specifically addressing the use of artificial intelligence ("AI") in employment decisions. On June 27, 2023, the California Civil Rights Department ("CRD") published a revised draft of its proposed regulations under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act ("FEHA"), which would restrict an employer's use of automated decision-making systems like AI in certain aspects of employment if such systems result in discriminatory impacts. As previously reported, this regulatory effort began in April 2022 when the CRD initially proposed rules against using "automated decision systems" that could result in "biased outcomes."
The revised draft comes after several rounds of public comment and reflects changes intended to respond to concerns and suggestions raised by various stakeholders, including industry groups, worker advocacy organizations, and CRD's own advisory committee on artificial intelligence, which includes a broad array of representatives from civil rights groups, academia, and industry
Public comments on the latest proposed regulations are due by August 23, 2023. Based on the current draft, here are key aspects of the proposal employers should understand:
1. **Scope:** The proposed regulations would apply to all employers with five or more employees and would cover the use of AI and other automated decision systems in various stages of employment, including hiring, promotion, termination, and other employment decisions.
2. **Prohibited conduct:** An employer would not be allowed to use "automated decision systems" ("ADS") if the system results in a "disparate impact" on a protected group under FEHA. FEHA's protected groups include, but are not limited to, race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, and national origin. If the ADS results in a selection rate that is less than 90% of the selection rate of the most similarly situated group that is not protected, it will raise a rebuttable presumption of disparate impact
3. **Audit and testing requirements:** Employers using ADS would be required to conduct regular audits and testing for disparate impact on protected groups. For some employers, particularly larger ones with more resources, there may be an argument that regular audits and testing are already a best practice in managing the risks associated with AI and other automated systems. However, smaller employers with limited resources may face practical challenges in complying with this requirement, especially given the complexity and rapidly changing nature of AI technologies
4. **Record-keeping:** Employers using ADS in employment decisions would be required to keep detailed records of their audit and testing results for a minimum of three years
5. **Notice requirements:** Employers would be required to notify applicants and employees at various stages of the employment relationship if an ADS system is being used. Employers also would need to provide applicants and employees with information about how the system was validated and how it is used to make employment decisions
6. **Validation report requirements:** Employers seeking to use an ADS system would need to obtain a validation report, which must be conducted by an impartial expert. The report would need to include several components, including, but not limited to:
a. The ADS's "selection procedure";
b. "Census data" about the "composition" of the populations that the ADS "draws on" and the "populations that the ADS acts upon";
c. Information about the data the ADS uses, "including demographic characteristics of data sources";
d. Testing and audit results;
e. Remedy or mitigation strategy where the ADS results in a disparate impact; and
f. Dates the ADS was placed in use
Given that the validation report is a crucial component for employers seeking to utilize ADS in the workplace, it will be essential to monitor guidance and potential further clarification from CRD regarding the "impartial expert" requirement
In summary, the proposed regulations reflect CRD's efforts to address the apparent risks AI and automated decision-making systems can introduce to employment decisions. Employers should closely monitor the CRD's rulemaking process, review the current draft, identify potential compliance challenges, and consider submitting public comments to ensure their concerns and questions are heard and addressed

In today's tech-driven world, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve and reshape industries across the globe. As a result, concerns about its impact on employment have become increasingly common. Young people preparing for their careers are being advised to take a closer look at job roles that are likely to thrive in an AI-dominated future. Apart from this, one question pops up in my mind: Can AI really replace all jobs?
The ever-growing concerns about AI displacing jobs raise important questions about the technology’s adaptability. Recently, Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI," voiced stark warnings about AI—predicting massive job losses, the rise of digital immortality, and issuing a significant cautionary statement regarding the potential for widespread employment displacement among white-collar professionals.
AI Cannot Replace All Jobs
In a recent interview on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Geoffrey Hinton addressed concerns about AI-driven job losses. He noted that historically, new technologies haven’t always caused widespread unemployment. Instead, they often led to the creation of new types of jobs. As an example, he mentioned the introduction of ATMs—rather than eliminating the roles of bank tellers, the machines allowed them to transition into more engaging and meaningful tasks.
AI Will Replace Humans In Cognitive Tasks
Dickson Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton further explained that AI will replace humans in routine cognitive tasks. While this may not lead to full automation right away, he warned that it will likely result in fewer people doing the same amount of work, supported by AI assistants.
Adding further, Geoffrey Hinton said that AI is already better than humans in many areas and believes it is “vastly superior.” He explained that models like GPT-4o know thousands of times more than most people. What makes AI even more powerful, according to Hinton, is that it can instantly share knowledge almost instantly across clones, something humans cannot do. This, he says, is what makes AI both immortal and fast at learning.
The 77-year-old also pointed out that AI is already starting to replace entry-level jobs. However, he mentioned that fields like healthcare, which require a lot of human interaction and expertise, may be better at adapting to AI without losing the human touch.
However, the many roles still require human creativity, emotional intelligence, ethical judgment, and complex problem-solving—traits that machines are yet to master. Rather than viewing artificial intelligence as a universal substitute, it should be seen as a tool that complements human capabilities.

As thousands of young graduates prepare to take their first steps on the job market, an unexpected obstacle stands in their way: artificial intelligence. The technological promise that was supposed to relieve us of repetitive tasks seems, paradoxically, to be blocking the access of new generations to the professional world.
## The broken path to employment
Traditionally, young people start their careers with internships, junior positions or simple assignments that allow them to learn and work their way up. But as Aneesh Raman, Head of Business Opportunities at LinkedIn, explains, “the first rung of the career ladder is disappearing”. The reason for this? It is precisely these introductory tasks – administrative, repetitive, often unskilled – that companies are now entrusting to generative AI.
Tech giants such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft are already automating tasks previously carried out by young employees: writing bits of code, data entry, administrative assistance… The result? A drop in “on-the-job” learning opportunities.
According to the New York Federal Reserve, the unemployment rate for young graduates in the United States is 5.8%, compared with 6.2% for younger workers. This rise is partly linked to the rapid automation of entry-level tasks. Companies such as Duolingo and Shopify are already actively reducing the recruitment of juniors for these roles, preferring to entrust them to AI systems.
## A bleak future for young people?
Chris Hyams, CEO of Indeed, points out that “in around two-thirds of professions, more than half of the skills required can be performed satisfactorily, or even excellently, by current AI”. While AI does not completely replace jobs, it does make many stages of the traditional training pathway obsolete.
The paradox is striking: companies are warning of a shortage of skilled labour… but no longer offer the conditions to train this talent. In Europe, this tension is all the more marked because companies are struggling to recruit experienced technical profiles, while young people can no longer access the positions that would allow them to become such.
If the trend continues, AI will not eliminate millions of jobs in one fell swoop: it will simply prevent future professionals from emerging. And in the long term, there is a great risk that we will end up with powerful tools, but without enough qualified human resources to supervise and develop them. But for this to be of benefit to everyone, we need to rethink professional integration and guarantee a space for human learning where machines are gaining ground. | 3 days ago | Farmingdale Observer | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 26 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is becoming more prevalent in the workplace, including as a tool for human resources (HR) leaders to use in their employment practices. At the same time, close to a dozen states have enacted (or are considering) legislation regulating the use of GenAI in employment practices. Companies’ legal, HR, and IT teams should work together to review the technology they are deploying in the workplace for legal compliance with employment, privacy, and AI laws at the federal and state levels.
Using these burgeoning technologies without understanding how their algorithms work and the data they rely on to produce certain outputs can expose employers to potential class actions based on privacy, AI regulations, and employment claims – specifically, alleged disparate impact discrimination and wage and hour infractions. This article examines areas of focus for employers, recent legal developments governing the use of GenAI in the workplace, potential approaches to compliance, and next steps to avoid legal risks.
Generative AI at a Glance
AI can primarily be classified into two categories: “predictive” and/or “generative.” Predictive AI performs statistical analysis to predict an outcome. GenAI, while similarly premised on predictive elements, creates something completely new.
For purposes of this article, most AI programs contemplated for deployment in human resources and workforce management today rely on large language models (LLMs). A subset of generative AI, LLMs are learning models that are pretrained on large datasets of text from various sources, including books, articles, and websites, to generate human-like language outputs. | 4 days ago | The National Law Review | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 27 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Thursday, May 29, 2025
California started 2025 with significant activity around artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. Legislators and state agencies introduced new bills and regulations to regulate AI-driven hiring and management tools, and a high-profile lawsuit is testing the boundaries of liability for AI vendors.
Legislative Developments in 2025
State lawmakers unveiled proposals to address the use of AI in employment decisions. Notable bills introduced in early 2025 include:
SB 7 – “No Robo Bosses Act”
Senate Bill (SB) 7 aims to strictly regulate employers’ use of “automated decision systems” (ADS) in hiring, promotions, discipline, or termination. Key provisions of SB 7 would:
* Require employers to give at least 30 days’ prior written notice to employees, applicants, and contractors before using an ADS and disclose all such tools in use.
* Mandate human oversight by prohibiting reliance primarily on AI for employment decisions such as hiring or firing. Employers would need to involve a human in final decisions.
* Ban certain AI practices, including tools that infer protected characteristics, perform predictive behavioral analysis on employees, retaliate against workers for exercising legal rights, or set pay based on individualized data in a discriminatory way.
* Give workers rights to access and correct data used by an ADS and to appeal AI-driven decisions to a human reviewer. SB 7 also includes anti-retaliation clauses and enforcement provisions.
AB 1018 – Automated Decisions Safety Act
Assembly Bill (AB) 1018 would broadly regulate development and deployment of AI/ADS in “consequential” decisions, including employment, and possibly allow employees to opt out of the use of a covered ADS. This bill places comprehensive compliance obligations on both employers and AI vendors—requiring bias audits, data retention... | 3 weeks ago | The National Law Review |

Many job hunters are saying they are interacting with AI bots rather than human resource managers when applying for work.

For job seekers and human resource managers, artificial intelligence is an inevitability.
No longer just a buzzword, AI is stepping in to perform interviews along with a variety of more complex tasks. It's changing the way both candidates and employers are approaching hiring.
Michael Moran, a UX/Product designer based in Austin, said he started noticing the AI-powered interviews in 2024. Video applications, prompts with recorded responses and the AI phone interviews. More recently, a video interview with an AI avatar.
"It looked pretty real. I mean, it was obviously an AI in that it was like something a little unnatural about it, but his mouth moved perfectly with his voice. His voice sounded natural," said Moran.
Moran knew he'd be interviewed by an AI avatar and was told to set up in a quiet place 10 minutes beforehand. The experience was not unlike interview practices he'd done online, given a prompt and then received summarized feedback.
Except this time, he'd only have one take.
Moran has mixed feelings about the experience. He said the interview at times felt more conversational than ones he's done with humans who were tied to a script. The AI bot remembered details from his previous answers and referenced them. He was also able to ask the AI bot to rephrase questions.
But in a tough job market with a low response rate to applications, the AI interviews can feel like another frustrating barrier to getting hired.
"To me, it feels like they don't respect me as an applicant, as a job seeker, and it's probably going to be a waste of my time," Moran said.
His experience is becoming the new norm.
A recent survey from Resume Now found that 91% of employers use AI in their hiring processes.
"We're seeing employers use it for a wide range of things like writing and optimizing job descriptions, candidate sourcing, resume analysis, interview scheduling, identifying and sourcing passive candidates, automating follow-up emails, and even kind of analyzing video interviews that candidates might submit as well," said Keith Spencer, a career expert with Resume Now.
Spencer was surprised by the prevalence of AI in hiring, but said it makes sense.
"We are in a highly competitive job market, especially if you look at different segments of the job market," Spencer said.
Remote jobs, for example, can attract thousands of applicants, and AI tools can help hiring managers whittle the pile down to top candidates.
But he stressed that transparency is key for both the candidates and the employers.
For employers, that means telling candidates if AI is being used and how, so an AI interview isn't a surprise. But also to avoid biases that exist in the data AI is learning from.
"The hope is that AI can help eliminate hiring bias altogether, take it out of the hiring process, but there's growing scrutiny over how some of the biased training data that you're potentially using for these AI tools can lead to some unfair outcomes," Spencer said.
For candidates, it means being authentic to a personal style, skills and responses in interviews.
"A lot of employers think that there should be sort of rules established for AI-generated job application content," said Spencer. "But then at the same time, they want you to know how to use AI tools to be more productive and efficient."
Moran no longer takes phone calls from AI recruiters – unless it's a job he really wants. He uses AI tools to help him apply for jobs and structure resumes to be more readable to applicant tracking systems. But in general, he applies to smaller companies that are less likely to use AI tools for their interviews.
Spencer's advice? Focus on quality over quantity when it comes to crafting your applications.
"You hear often that you have to beat the ATS (applicant tracking system) or beat the AI, beat the bots. And that's not really accurate because whether it's a human or a software program that's reviewing your application materials, your goal is to demonstrate that you are a good fit for that role." | 5 days ago | Scripps News | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 29 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

SALT LAKE CITY — Artificial Intelligence is poised to revolutionize the job market, particularly for entry-level white-collar positions, according to a leading AI expert.
A recent warning from Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, suggests that AI could replace up to half of all entry-level jobs, potentially driving unemployment rates as high as 20%.
Tim Kapp, an AI expert and professor at the University of Utah, agrees with Amodei’s assessment.
“A lot of what Dario has been saying is actually correct,” Kapp said. “We’ve seen a drop of 27.5% recently in jobs in the developing world, especially entry-level jobs are dropping extremely quickly.”
While the tech sector has been the first to experience workforce reductions, Kapp warns that the impact of AI job displacement is spreading rapidly.
“It’s not just tech; it’s entry-level jobs in general,” he stated.
Industries ranging from restaurants to software development are reportedly preparing for major changes. Behind closed doors, approximately 40% of CEOs are considering workforce reductions due to AI advancements.
Amodei said governments and AI companies must stop sugar-coating the challenges ahead.
“We need to face the reality that mass job elimination is coming,” he told Axios.
The speed at which jobs are being replaced is outpacing the creation of new employment opportunities, leaving many questions about the future workforce.
To navigate the shifting landscape, Kapp advises Americans to start integrating AI into their work and daily lives. If you learn how to use AI effectively, you’ll maintain a valuable skill that will be in high demand, he said.
With AI playing an increasingly significant role in the economy, discussions about policy and workforce adaptation need to begin now. Amodei believes AI will emerge as a major topic in the 2028 presidential campaign as lawmakers grapple with how to respond to automation-driven employment shifts. | 3 weeks ago | KSLTV.com | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 31 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

# AI in Hiring: Litigation and Regulation Update
By: Ryan D. Larocca
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into employment decision-making has revolutionized how companies recruit, evaluate, and manage employees. These high-functioning AI tools are capable of screening job applications, assessing job performance, and even recommending discipline or termination, which can save businesses considerable time and money. But while AI may seem like an impartial decision-maker, it is not immune to bias, and when automated decision systems (ADS) go unchecked, the legal consequences can be severe.
_**Government Enforcement and Private Litigation**_
Recent litigation in state and federal courts and enforcement efforts by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and California Civil Rights Division (“CRD”) underscore the potential shortcomings of AI in the workplace.
In 2023, the EEOC settled a complaint for $365,000 against a company using ADS. The Agency claimed that the Company’s AI software had a disparate impact on certain applicants, rejecting the applications of women over 55 and men over 60.
More recently, a lawsuit in federal district court alleging similar claims was filed against Workday, Inc. The plaintiff, Derek Mobley, alleges that Workday’s AI hiring tool discriminated against applicants aged 40 and over. In a major development, the judge overseeing the matter recently allowed the action to proceed as a nationwide class action. While the federal government may be changing its approach to enforcement, Mobley’s lawsuit illustrates that private litigation may still be used to seek damages against companies.
_**Efforts to Regulate AI in the Workplace**_
Over the past year, state and federal agencies, including the Department of Labor (“DOL”), EEOC, CRD, and California legislature have begun preparing guidance for employers, enacting enforcement measures, and drafting legislative bills designed to counteract the potential pitfalls of AI ADS.
Most recently, California lawmakers introduced Senate Bill 7 (SB 7). The purpose of the Bill is to regulate AI-use in the workplace and limit ADS in employment decisions. If passed, this bill would create new and substantial changes for employers, including requiring human oversight of any AI employment decisions, mandating transparency to employees regarding AI use, enforcing regular auditing of ADS tools, and prohibiting certain sensitive personal information of applicants and employees from being provided to the ADS.
These changes, if they become law, would obviously impact how companies use ADS and the potential risks in using those tools.
_**The Takeaway for Employers**_
While AI tools can offer efficient solutions, they cannot be left unchecked. Employers must regularly audit these systems, stay informed on evolving regulations, and ensure compliance to mitigate legal risks.

By Guy Brenner, Jonathan Slowik, and Dixie Morrison on June 11, 2025
A closely watched class and collective action against the HR management services company Workday, Inc. reached a new milestone recently, when the Northern District of California conditionally certified Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) claims on behalf of a sprawling collective believed to include millions of job applicants. In Mobley v. Workday, Inc., N.D. Cal. Case No. 23-cv-00770-RFL, the plaintiff alleges that Workday’s popular artificial intelligence (AI)-based applicant recommendation system violated federal antidiscrimination laws because it had a disparate impact on job applicants based on race, age, and disability.
Although Mobley does not allege that Workday itself was an “employer” (or prospective employer) of him or the putative class members, he alleges Workday may nonetheless be held liable as an “agent.” In July 2024, the Court denied Workday’s second motion to dismiss, allowing the claims to proceed.
Mobley’s claims cleared a second hurdle on May 16, 2025, when the Court granted conditional certification of the ADEA claims. In seeking conditional certification, Mobley claimed that Workday’s tools were “designed in a manner that reflects employer biases and relies on biased training data.” The Court agreed this adequately “alleged the existence of a unified policy: the use of Workday’s AI recommendation system to score, sort, rank, or screen applicants.”
The Court rejected Workday’s argument that collective treatment was improper because the tools’ impact could vary based on different employer-clients (for example, in the case of a Workday tool training itself on different employers’ varying employee populations). It likewise found immaterial for certification purposes that the different class members’ qualifications and experiences may vary, because the common injury was simply being “denied the right to compete on equal footing with other candidates.”
As a result of the ruling, notice will be issued to the allegedly affected job applicants, in what could be one of the largest collectives ever certified. In filings, Workday represented that “1.1 billion applications were rejected” using its software tools during the relevant period, and so the collective could potentially include “hundreds of millions” of members.
In recent years, online platforms have increasingly reduced the friction of the job application process, and consequently the number of applications employers receive has dramatically increased, leading to greater demand for technological solutions to help sort, rank, and filter applicants. AI tools are increasingly being used to help address this issue, but, as with any new technology, the tools can lead to novel claims. As one of the first largescale tests of such solutions in the courts the Mobley case will undoubtedly continue to attract considerable attention from employers and practitioners alike. Regardless of the outcome, Mobley illustrates the legal risk associated with employing AI tools, and the need for employers to be thoughtful as they implement them.
We will continue to monitor this case and other developments as lawmakers, regulators, and courts grapple with the issues created by the use of AI in employment decisions. | 5 days ago | Law and the Workplace | data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAHgAAABCCAMAAACrW+IrAAAAZlBMVEUAnN4Am94Amd0AmN0AltwAk9v///8Aj9rm8/sAkdvS6PfA3/TW6/jO5vYso+Di8fqv1/G42/KRyOyfz+6Hw+pvuOd+wOlDquJdsuX0+v2by+0Aitl4u+jt9vyl0+9TruMAgdZft+bdx0o/AAAHR0lEQVRYhe1Y63rrKg4FhBPHgLiYmx3b7P3+L3mE03Z3TjPzzTcz6fyp0qTcxDJCWgIz9iM/8lrhjw9ngov+Sz9dRG96KW4CpH+IPGMuDDb6wcRaY/hSXAZz084gfV1RTrdDH37WhzrMrDbxQmBeasXC6FtFxcYKYsMyl0YffKmx+872PT53+VHgXPZdfu0ekwBjHQRAsE9gz8wM7OwH/qnlTfipIrpXPtT/PvKryMDEVricjyxD6b7clSH02fgfp++fWXTry0fXaR0nTwXOkXGMckPMp90gVPoPDvmb+lfh7bINJvFhQZMrssQFVmDDTjpUKBx5Ea1RobBUbG+9RICKSD4BmWHlkrqnjWa4LzkeQ0KOxSVE1jRigsbxmbdIn/RNdeCoi2km2qKPIIYRRTFuNrigzkbV/aqLTXvj8kj25rwO8zqyvS6HyUpluwqpkvKuTfOOy+GixXFdmAnGJ5r+K7DYw85O4OayarNbpFGFDyNtmVdq63GF2rPxaormWjJJCqh5DMmPZWyeaQpGoYqA1WRnmb2vq74fl8z0fWLOjahI6ytuNptfO/Cl+KDSjpcSspLDnmrw2bALLtu2uTCWvVi2k4H1djgVfSTYsldPBkkuqo2LcuHOXsemK5lk60+1V9v2++LgCfBWJOZ0OleEDfMaeJiRy/VwOMc8BJmRzbNoLmCEkCA1ySJbVWguYiSWi3xeeZvJI4MoG6DbIEIqLdUj8hDiTdWnzsXPUH6EE0WDpKCAswochDhjhCrkqETmvdxpXGYzoYA3emc9EHsYnQTPe63PxM+SoLFPFkzAt+EfdqDwz32cD++Vri2H4UEsAuTfV8EH+XmiM8weTfBphj+mbhdrGEhgUgouJbcDUPUsUuAwNpIyPbocZhqirGWB9kEyQa2CtNij0qlFWyVOTSapkXaPo7W+Dzxnh+EYTo13YPPL/N50kMoUZhS3ysmgE1OGKGExMF6Pqcw4h0sAXO41L74YJTetcNMReK/kaQXp4tVh1Bnd1TflRt3j675ypZtxg1Lu9yVvZpYfwLvT5Ky25ehVTZuVuo04Bp8o8I3Ptqqq0Zr7SFudd0dRlapJ422qI5KTp6S2vQQhTRUD2put+r5vitxaDBaj4wvfmi7L1cJ+31sQH8C6TrDEmFTwE7KihymNMZesk0ANo92mmOV+3EfJS777aNAFIow7hV6MDI5V5TZrAL9d52TuU5p+7dsxEDA9CyMauao4leWuxXKtq4U/pr6a6r1qVtHSdJvkxCbvkpkqAQ95B+2DS8QSAbj2tnh3qDE5tRTS4jArSwbUkjZUTcQ9Zhi93Q4ZNQU2Fbm9Kb+X/a6Zzeb4zCXkfxLJ8+HMU53TqQqP/NRjBxB6GPUEIVFQlbp53kYcqIP13gFput5BmpI/kkI/2IjexPrs5xGLk+Yn3DNqP2JDnnkNPrWwrtsH9ZYzlAhclrm9tfCPwY8BXD4SHBfi4+fPIj+tF+d05tme6ChlYKCJArzD0KHA02rLXN8GUaRn8IYWzR8nRbmy955HgjSNypTkcmyyhJABn+UIjmOdNlnIsGfyGvF3VTxJVgi/gEB22wVtVrVV9mSN8cCaDCJQXhQF0A4Z4BzcLYVI1EsPGi5iuCSdVp+SDJdnSSK6AclNRra4ne1uKVMYe/yoY9XTmj25pYB5lYh0FiyXQ+mkDvKnpKmw2nRpi7RuwsVPAMHYSmTKB72G2z6gjn4rN73Gr+cZEQ8iFXsLwQ4qql+2mKI4IQ52zUUVZ9MIMAfip8Uvv801r803OpH6BhSlBErBqe62GakpcEVTobPKvlG7ZDaqXHpl+AJMpkYVdFN1BEOUQCsuE+rN12mNTRniil1wMsG0WaxlGrInRiHymkNOCyyw09HF4l4MtxS427yuRCa+nwOWomJwBdURbXuyZGIOoFQ8zCJgdis5l6vrsHpMtcTi5zYTZW0qDsX3TvQtloyRO8ejm9ma5oEeEwNfybHcAaly4UBSUvRZEkOsMxH3U/fq6fAMY9Fpn3y/hxTI8yIjKFl2rhGPQWdYn7cc0VNl5/zeT8HWU2bPGPAI4jPMuo4EAPb8tAeUFs/rinjiey8UOEbDNZKH1YMyoPiSZ18kvE7XSMQfTStbPlQ25XuQRZgpRU+44lKd31by2e+xON/8tRET6W0nN6xx/S5gJrTrpLEf4zcDc2g94yHdON7+vsm73q9m/P1u9W24P/IjP/IjP/LvCp2q/rDzl7PR694dwzofH/mIp7+lpp6rXgQtDTR1k/2FAcCwtl6iUx/QvQxAoo3mRYcwaQY6cbvNK5zdHMpBJ+E6y4jOhewq2n/yzua/B54Oz/SNFm18LcE0TPlwwxpVMkcFum7nZ+/l/gfA5gaDog8YpDuF20Ius7sea8Df/T1b9i68ZMnggMljyE7hMR8Rj0wGj87TZSRklFG59UVnsMcbuf4Kjq4jdO/g5yWeXK3Xms+vwv3X0q8+/w/cH/mR/0z+Arvde759CvxMAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC | 33 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

A little more than two years ago, Capitolism first looked with skepticism at claims that artificial intelligence would quickly put millions of Americans out of work and lead to heightened U.S. unemployment. Even today, with American unemployment still historically low despite far more and more advanced AI technologies, the possibility of mass joblessness continues to generate angst. Just last week, in fact, Bloomberg worried that recent hiring pauses at several major companies foreshadowed a coming AI jobpocalypse, while viral charts and politician’s tweets have expressed or evoked similar concerns.
At this point, I’d hope that enlightened Capitolism readers would understand the folly of such predictions, as history is littered with examples of adaptable Americans and our dynamic U.S. economy making similar claims looking silly in retrospect (though discrete churn and displacement is inevitable). In this case, however, recent news has me wondering whether AI—far from stealing all our jobs—might actually mean more of them in the near future, even in industries most affected by the technology. | 4 weeks ago | The Dispatch | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 34 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Geoffrey Hinton
February 22, 2024
According to Geoffrey Hinton, also known as the "godfather of AI," some jobs are unlikely to be replaced by artificial intelligence anytime soon. Hinton, who recently left his position as a professor at the University of Toronto to join Google, claims that certain professions will continue to require human skills and judgment.
One such profession is plumbing. Hinton explains that while AI can process vast amounts of data and recognize patterns, it lacks the physical dexterity and problem-solving skills required for tasks like fixing leaks and unclogging drains.
Other jobs that Hinton believes are safe from AI replacement include social work, teaching, and healthcare. These professions require empathy, creativity, and complex decision-making, making them less susceptible to automation.
However, Hinton also notes that AI will continue to augment human capabilities in various industries, freeing up time for more strategic and creative work. As AI technology advances, it's essential for workers to develop skills that complement its capabilities, such as critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving.
In conclusion, while AI is poised to revolutionize numerous industries, certain jobs will continue to rely on human expertise and skills. By understanding which professions are more likely to be automated, workers can prepare themselves for the changing job market and focus on developing skills that will remain valuable in an AI-driven world. | 4 hours ago | MSN | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 35 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Jim Cramer on Wednesday said artificial intelligence will be a major factor in jobs across industries in the future, considering how the new technology will change the workforce.
“If you want to know what’s going to happen in the future — not the near future, like next week or tomorrow, but next year and beyond — then I think you must factor in artificial intelligence,” he said. “When it comes to employment, both public and private, it might be the most important force out there.”
Cramer referenced a recent Axios interview with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who warned that AI could increase unemployment by 10 to 20% in the next one to five years, as well as wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. While Cramer said he’s not a “doomsayer” like Amodei, he urged that it’s important to quantify who will be replaced if agentic AI gains prominence and what will change when there is widespread adoption of Nvidia’s most advanced chips.
Cramer admitted he’s largely focused on how AI could take over more undesirable jobs, ones that may be uninteresting or dangerous. It’s hard to fathom what AI can accomplish, he continued, because few in the industry want to attract adverse publicity by discussing how many jobs could be eliminated. He pointed out that Salesforce’s Marc Benioff alleged AI agents aren’t meant to replace humans — they’re meant to make them more productive.
Cramer countered that many CEOs are hyper-cognizant that human workers are expensive. C-suite leaders don’t want to adopt agentic AI to make employees more productive — they want to fire people and save money, Cramer said. Few will pitch such an “unpalatable” notion to the general public, he continued.
Cramer again referenced Amodei’s recent comments to Axios, where the AI developer suggested the new technology could bring about a future where “cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced, and 20% of people don’t have jobs.” To Cramer, that’s “a lot of positives very much balanced out by one huge negative.”
“Now, obviously, nobody really knows what’s going to happen,” he said. “But we can talk to the people who matter, including Benioff and Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, to see what they have to say.” | 3 weeks ago | CNBC | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 36 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Workers in UK need to embrace AI or risk being left behind, minister says

Workers in the UK should turn their trepidation over AI into “exhilaration” by giving it a try or they risk being left behind by those who have, the technology secretary has said.
Peter Kyle called on employees and businesses to “act now” on getting to grips with the tech, with the generational gap in usage needing only two and a half hours of training to bridge.
Breakthroughs such as the emergence of ChatGPT have sparked an investment boom in the technology, but also led to forecasts that a host of jobs in sectors ranging from law to financial services will be affected.
However, Kyle said: “I think most people are approaching this with trepidation. Once they start using AI, it turns to exhilaration, because it is a lot more straightforward than people realise, and it is far more rewarding than people expect.”
Kyle spoke after meeting tech company bosses to discuss a new government-industry drive to train 7.5 million UK workers – a fifth of the overall workforce – in AI by 2030, with the help of firms such as Google, Amazon and BT.
He said: “There’s no one in employment at the moment that is incapable of gaining the skills that will be needed in the economy in the next five years.
“That is the optimistic way of saying, act now, and you will thrive into the future. Don’t, and I think that some people will be left behind. And that’s what worries me the most.”
Kyle said there appeared to be a generational gap in AI, with over-55s using AI half as much as over-35s. Closing this gap would take two and a half hours of training, he said.
“People don’t need to get trained in quantum physics,” Kyle said. “They need to get trained in the basics of how AI works, how to interact with it, and to explore all of the potential it has for you as an individual in the workplace.”
Keir Starmer acknowledged this week that people were “sceptical” about AI and worry about it taking their job. Speaking at London Tech Week, the prime minister said the government would attempt to prove that technology can “create wealth in your community … create good jobs [and] vastly improve our public services”.
People in English-speaking countries including the UK, US, Australia and Canada are more nervous about the rise of AI than those in the largest EU economies, according to polling data shared with the Guardian last week.
Forecasts about the impact of AI on jobs vary, with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warning the technology could trigger job losses in skilled professions such as law, medicine and finance. The International Monetary Fund has calculated 60% of jobs in advanced economies such as the US and UK are exposed to AI and half of these jobs may be negatively affected.
However, the Tony Blair Institute, which has called for widespread adoption of AI in the public and private sectors, has said potential UK jobs losses in the private sphere will be mitigated by the technology creating new roles.
Kyle said he was ready for a reset in the debate over AI and copyright after opposition to the government’s proposed overhaul of copyright law in the House of Lords ended. The data bill, a vehicle for peers’ opposition to proposals to let AI firms use copyright-protected work without permission in order to develop their products, finally passed this week after lords did not submit further copyright-related amendments.
“I’m acting with humility and self-reflection about the things I could have done better in that process,” he said. “And I’ve made promises to move forward with a reset and a refocus on what will deliver the rights remuneration and opportunities for creatives in the digital age that they have enjoyed for generations in the analogue age – whilst travelling on that journey with the AI industry alongside.” | 3 days ago | The Guardian | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 38 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Even just a few years ago, the concept of using artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life was a novel, if somewhat intimidating, concept. But from Google’s AI overview to Microsoft’s Copilot, many of us use AI daily to help increase efficiency and streamline certain processes. If you are an employer using AI to sort through job applications and resumes, to make decisions based on background check information, or to sort through criteria for promotion or termination decisions, you need to consider the legal ramifications, which increasingly involve federal and state laws.
The State and Local Legal Landscape
Some state legislatures and local governments, in attempting to get ahead of any issues, have started considering or issuing guidance or legislation aimed at preventing employment discrimination resulting from the use of AI tools. For example, New Jersey has issued guidance indicating that the use of AI in employment decisions will be subject to the same antidiscrimination laws as non-AI decisions and that employers will be liable for discrimination caused by AI tools they did not design. Both Colorado and Illinois have passed laws, effective in 2026, prohibiting employers from using AI ...[TRUNCATED] | 2 months ago | The National Law Review | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 40 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Tyler Johnson was proud to be one of almost 6,500 students graduating from the University of Delaware in May. But what should have been a celebration was marred by his worries about being unemployed. It was incongruous with what he thought the end of four years of college would be.
The communications major had worked on the student newspaper and done an internship at a local publication the summer before. But no employers were interested in him.
“It kinda took a hit on my self-esteem,” Mr. Johnson says. “It’s like, ‘Did I do enough? Am I actually going to make it?’”
It’s not the Great Recession, but with tariffs, hiring freezes, and the advent of artificial intelligence, the job market has college graduates wondering where they fit.
Mr. Johnson is one of a number of recent college graduates facing a tough job market. Even in the best of times, job hunting takes patience and determination. But 2025 has delivered an especially challenging environment for new grads, with tariffs causing uncertainty, federal government jobs gone or frozen, and more concern about the impact of artificial intelligence on entry-level positions vital to getting a foot on the career ladder.
In November, employers initially planned to hire 7.3% more people from the class of 2025 than they had from the previous year’s class. But by April, that number had adjusted to a 0.6% increase, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Additionally, 11% of employers said that they plan to reduce hiring overall. Typically, college grads fare better than average – particularly in a downturn. That is not the case for the class of 2025. New grads have about a 6% unemployment rate, compared with 4.2% overall. It’s the first time that’s been the case since 1980, according to Oxford Economics.
But it’s also not the Great Recession – yet.
“It’s a dip, but not a collapse,” says Allison Danielsen, CEO of Tallo, a digital career guidance organization that connects graduates to companies. “We’ve seen similar slowdowns before, especially during economic uncertainty or major shifts like automation.”
The rise of generative artificial intelligence, she adds, is just such a major shift.
The timing is concerning, she says, because many recent college graduates made decisions about their education in a different job market. Now, they are entering a workforce that is changed. It has caused a mismatch that has made it harder for new graduates to land on their feet.
In a recent Tallo survey of more than 2,000 people ages 18 to 30, 62% of respondents said that they were not working in a field that they intended to. Cost-of-living expenses and student loan debt ranked as two top reasons. Additionally, the same survey found that 1 in 4 said that they couldn’t find a job in their intended field.
“The labor market is changing faster than higher education can keep up. That’s why we’re seeing such a big gap between what students study and what employers actually need,” Ms. Danielsen says. “Relying on a degree as a stand-in for skills just doesn’t work anymore.”
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the unemployment rate for recent college graduates increased to 5.8% in the first quarter of 2025, the highest it has been since 2021. Additionally, the underemployment rate, which is the percentage of college graduates working in a field that does not require a college degree, rose to 41.2%.
Ms. Danielsen, some economists, and those who help students at universities collectively agree that the job market is evolving and that changes in federal policy are tough for young people transitioning from school to full-time work. Observers also agree that white-collar entry-level jobs, which were previously stepping stones for new grads, are being automated by AI.
That would seem to fall in line with what Dario Amodei, CEO of AI startup Anthropic, predicted in a recent Axios interview. Mr. Amodei said he thinks AI will wipe out half of entry-level jobs, potentially pushing the unemployment rate to 10% to 20% in the next five years.
“We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming,” he told the publication.
In Maryland, graduates at the state’s flagship university in College Park are finding regional and local work uncertainty, says Allynn Powell, director of the University Career Center. She spends the year helping students find internships and preparing for work postcollege.
“I think they are aware and kind of walking into the world of work, being mindful that ... so many of the kinds of stabilities that they thought might exist just aren’t there right now,” she says of students she’s encountered. Ms. Powell says that this is a perfect time for new graduates to lean into the skills and experiences that they gained as students to help them pivot. This could be temporarily switching career goals, she says.
Her office offers students a blueprint for ways to enter the job market, such as creating a robust online presence on sites like LinkedIn, learning how to tell a story that highlights their strengths, making sure that they are geographically flexible, tailoring their résumé to specific jobs, and leaning on their network of friends, mentors, and family.
“If nothing else, what we hope they spend these four years doing ... is learning how to fail forward and then pick themselves up and try it again a different way,” Ms. Powell says.
She believes that the sooner a student connects with the career center, even during their freshman year, the better off they will be after having internships and other experiences.
Instead of a new job in a new city with a new place to live, Mr. Johnson moved back home to Clayton, a town in central Delaware, home to fewer than 4,000 people. His roommates will be his mother and younger brother. Currently, he has no car and very little money.
“I’m just trying to remain positive,” Mr. Johnson says. Some of his friends are taking the summer off before looking for work. His mother isn’t pressuring him to find a job immediately, although he’s been looking. His targets right now are fast food, retail, and waiting tables.
“I can’t even say that I just want a summer job. I want a job in general,” he says. “I want to work to have money in my pocket and save so I can make my way to what I want to do.” | 5 days ago | The Christian Science Monitor | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 41 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

The CEO of artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is warning the technology could eliminate countless jobs. The CEO of artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is sounding the alarm about the technology he's spearheading. So what, if anything, can workers do now to protect their careers?
Dario Amodei, the head of the company behind AI model Claude 4, issued a blunt warning in an interview with website Axios, saying that half of all entry-level white-collar jobs could be potentially wiped out by artificial intelligence within five years, potentially driving up the unemployment rate up to 20%.
He said industries most at risk include law, marketing, tech and finance.
"These new generative AI technologies pose a real risk to early-career knowledge jobs," said Molly Kinder with Brookings Metro.
In recent months, AI has shown stunning capabilities, from generating hyper-realistic fake videos to diagnosing rare diseases through data analysis.
The state Supreme Court in Arizona is even using AI-powered avatars to act as reporters and summarize court rulings.
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence could bring real benefits but also a real disruption.
Who are the people most likely to be hit first? Young, college-educated workers in their first jobs before they've built experience or seniority.
"Who don't yet have the work experience to be a manager of a team of AI agents," Kinder said.
Some major companies are already downsizing. Walmart is cutting 1,500 corporate jobs as part of a technology-led restructuring.
Microsoft is laying off 6,000 employees, saying that the company is aligning for the AI era.
So how can you protect your career?
Experts say to double-down on what AI struggles with - making human connections and doing things in person.
"If you can do your job locked in a closet with a computer, those are the things that are more worrying for AI. Things that have to be in person, and really with people, tend to be safer."
You should also learn to work with AI, not against it.
"It's really important that you've mastered your craft, your area of expertise, augmented by this technology," Kinder added.
Anthropic's CEO is now pushing lawmakers to get up to speed on AI and urgently look at ways to regulate the technology. | 3 weeks ago | ABC7 Los Angeles | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 42 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

March 07, 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers employers considerable advantages, such as improved productivity, enhanced decision-making, and the ability to streamline various business processes. However, the adoption of AI technology in the workplace also brings several new legal complexities and risks. These challenges can range from potential violations of employee rights to concerns over data privacy and even the risk of discrimination if AI systems are not properly designed and implemented. To effectively navigate the integration of AI into the workplace, employers must be mindful of key employment law considerations.
**Navigating Emerging Legal and Regulatory Challenges**
As AI continues to evolve, litigation and regulatory actions are intensifying. Employers are facing an increasing number of lawsuits related to their use of AI in the workplace. For example, government bodies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), along with organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), are scrutinizing AI's role in employment decisions and practices. Observers are eagerly anticipating the moment when legal action reaches a critical mass—which is not a matter of if, but when.
To keep pace with technological advancements, some regulators are pushing for new laws governing AI use. With the current US administration, there has already been movement through executive orders addressing AI. Meanwhile, certain states and cities—New York, for instance—are introducing their own AI regulations. However, despite widespread calls for clear federal guidance, it has yet to materialize.
**Best Practices**
* **Be actively involved** in selecting AI vendors and understanding AI tools.
* **Conduct thorough audits of AI systems** to ensure they do not perpetuate bias, discrimination, or unfair practices, particularly in recruitment, hiring, and performance evaluations.
* **Inform job candidates and employees** of AI tools being used in their selection or other employment-related decisions, and allow candidates to opt out of AI tool use.
* **Implement transparent data management policies** that comply with applicable privacy laws to ensure that employee data is handled responsibly and with full consent.
* **Train HR and management teams** to understand the legal implications of using AI in the workplace to foster a culture of awareness around employee rights, data protection, and ethical AI use.
* **Consult legal experts** to stay informed about the evolving regulatory landscape and adapting business practices to align with changing laws and regulations.
By staying informed and adopting best practices, employers can leverage AI's advantages while minimizing legal risks and maintaining compliance with employment law requirements on the federal, state, and local level in this rapidly evolving area.

UK Spending Review to invest in AI, skills and employment support
Danny Romero
June 12, 2025
The UK government is set to allocate £2 billion for artificial intelligence (AI) from 2026-27 to 2029-30, according to UK’s Spending Review (SR) announced on 11 June by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
The government also announced it is increasing funding for employment support to over £3.5 billion by 2028-29.
Spending Review 2025 sets departmental budgets for day‑to‑day spending until 2028‑29, and until 2029‑30 for capital investment, with total departmental budgets growing by 2.3% across the spending review period.
The paper states that this multi-year SR marks the first zero-based review (ZBR) in 18 years, “with every line of government spending scrutinised to make sure it is delivering value for money.”
In its policy paper, the spending review highlighted that the £2 billion investment will build the UK’s sovereign AI capabilities, funding at least a 20-fold expansion of the UK’s AI research resource and backing UK AI companies to grow and scale through the new UK sovereign AI Unit.
“The government is funding collaboration between business and the UK’s world-class universities to develop new AI courses, launch new AI fellowships and establish new AI research institutes to develop and apply AI solutions in key sectors such as healthcare and transport.” | 5 days ago | Staffing Industry Analysts | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 45 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

Posted January 16, 2025
New research from Fox faculty Xueming Luo finds that AI can enhance creativity and job satisfaction, particularly for highly skilled workers, by taking on repetitive tasks and allowing employees to focus on more meaningful work.
Xueming Luo is an expert in artificial intelligence, social responsibility with machine learning and big data. His new research pushes back on the idea that AI will replace human workers, and instead suggests that the technology may improve human employee performance.
As AI advances and becomes more common in everyday life, employees in nearly every industry grow fearful that the technology will come for their job. But research from Temple University provides hope that AI may not replace human workers anytime soon, but rather could help employees be more creative and happier at work.
New research from Xueming Luo, Charles Gilliland Distinguished Chair Professor of Marketing in the Fox School of Business, found that AI can enhance employee creativity, particularly among higher-skilled employees. It also found that AI collaboration can help higher-skilled employees develop positive emotions in the workplace.
“A lot of the research that’s been done is about AI replacing human workers,” said Luo, who is an expert in artificial intelligence, social responsibility with machine learning and big data. “But I think there will be a paradigm shift as companies realize that AI improves productivity, but it also helps humans have better performance and creativity as well.”
Luo is co-author of the scholarly research paper “When and How Artificial Intelligence Augments Employee Creativity” published in the Academy of Management Journal. He and his co-authors partnered with a call center company that conducts cold calls to try to get customers to sign up for a credit card. The researchers analyzed data from 3,200 customer calls handled by 40 employees—half of whom collaborated with AI.
In the AI collaboration group, AI performed the initial cold call to gauge a customer’s interest in the credit card. If a customer showed interest, they were transferred to a human employee who would try to close the deal.
“If a customer gets a cold call, 90% of the time they’re going to say, ‘I’m not interested,’ because they don’t trust anybody in that situation,” Luo said. He explained that AI excels at repetitive, codifiable tasks, such as identifying interested customers. When AI referred qualified leads to human employees, those employees developed more creative solutions compared to their counterparts who didn’t use AI.
The study defined creativity as developing “useful and novel solutions to customer problems.” Its authors also conducted qualitative interviews with employees to explore why AI increased creativity.
“Employees thought that because AI can take up 90% of the boring part of the job, the rejection, that saved them mental time and energy and allowed them to preserve their bursts of creativity for solving harder problems as customers pushed back,” Luo said. “Without AI help, so much of the employees’ time was bogged down dealing with rejection.”
The study also divided employees into groups based on their skill level. It found that higher-skilled employees benefited even more from AI collaboration than their lower-skilled counterparts. Luo said this is because it requires skill to persuade customers to sign up for the product.
“The lower-skilled workers do feel like AI saves them time, but on the other hand those employees don’t have the ability to deal with the push back from customers,” he said.
The interviews uncovered another advantage of human-AI collaboration: AI assistance helped higher-skilled employees develop positive emotions at work.
“Humans are fundamentally interested in creative work,” Luo said. “We don’t want to do the boring, repetitive stuff. We want to focus on work that’s high-powered and requires a human to do. With AI collaboration you work less, but you work more powerfully and creatively. And your psychological wellbeing is better.”
Call centers aren’t the only industry where human-AI collaboration could thrive. Any job involving repetitive, codifiable tasks could benefit from AI assistance, Luo said. For example, HR departments at large companies like Walmart, which receive millions of job applications each year, can use AI to filter out unqualified candidates and route qualified ones to human managers.
Healthcare is another industry that’s primed for AI assistance.
“Many hospitals are experimenting with this. They’re using AI to check patients’ medical history and records,” Luo said. “AI can do that at scale and with no error or memory loss. It can then generate a summary of what’s happening and route the patient to the correct doctor for further examination.”
Luo even sees AI collaboration making its way into leadership roles in the near future. He believes managers will soon use AI assistance to handle the analytical, fact-based parts of their jobs, leaving the interpersonal and trust-building tasks to humans.
But again, AI won’t replace your boss any time soon.
“In a nutshell, the myth is that AI will literally destroy all human jobs. But we try to demonstrate that it is not this way,” Luo said. “I think industries are going to find a new equilibrium. They will look to see where AI fits the most, not that AI can do everything.”

Contrary to fears, AI is increasing jobs while transforming work, according to PwC’s Global AI Jobs Barometer 2025. High-exposure sectors saw 38 per cent job growth (2019–2024), higher wages, and faster revenue increases. However, skill demands are shifting rapidly, requiring continuous learning.

Contrary to widespread fears, artificial intelligence (AI) is not eliminating jobs but rather creating more employment opportunities while transforming the nature of work. This is the key finding of PwC’s Global AI Jobs Barometer 2025, cited in a press release by PwC Hungary. The report reveals that in occupations most exposed to AI, job numbers grew by 38 per cent between 2019 and 2024.
The study analysed over 1 billion job postings and thousands of corporate financial records across six continents. Researchers found that industries most impacted by AI experienced revenue growth per employee at triple the rate (27 per cent) compared to less affected sectors (9 per cent). Additionally, roles requiring AI skills offered 56 per cent higher wages on average in 2024, often including salary premiums.
Since the widespread adoption of generative AI in 2022, productivity growth in high-usage sectors—such as financial services and software development—soared from 7 per cent in 2022 to 27 per cent in 2024. In contrast, less AI-exposed industries (eg, mining, hospitality) saw stagnant productivity (10 per cent in 2022, 9 per cent in 2024) and slower revenue growth.
The report highlights that skills required in AI-exposed roles are changing 66 per cent faster than before. Between 2019 and 2024, the share of degree-required positions declined from 66 per cent to 59 per cent in AI-augmented jobs and from 53 per cent to 44 per cent in AI-automated roles.
AI does not affect genders equally: in every country studied, more women work in AI-exposed roles, meaning that changing skill requirements may disproportionately pressure them.
Gyöngyi Gönczi, Head of HR and Organizational Development Consulting at PwC Hungary, emphasized that AI demands new skills and mindsets. Keeping pace with technological change requires systems that support continuous learning.
PwC advises companies to build trust in AI, using it not just for efficiency but as a growth strategy. Investing in employees’ AI-related skills is crucial for long-term success. | 1 week ago | Hungarian Conservative | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 47 | artificial intelligence employment | 2025-06-17 14:02:26 | null |

by PwC found that AI adoption is driving job creation and increasing
productivity. But not every company is reaping the benefits. BY BRUCE CRUMLEY @BRUCEC_INCJun 9, 2025SHARELinkedInFacebookXBlueskyLinkPhotos: Getty Images Listen to this ArticleMore info 0:00 / 0:00Opinions on how artificial intelligence will affect employment differ
considerably—often radically. The most recent demonstration of the divide
arose last week, when Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI apps like
the kind his company is developing risk pushing joblessness up to 20
percent. That led serial entrepreneur Mark Cuban to counter with the
prediction it’s more likely the tech will enable full employment instead.
Now, a new study by consultancy PwC comes down somewhere in between those
views, albeit far closer to the optimistic Cuban perspective. In its 2025
AI Jobs Barometer report, PwC said forecasts by skeptics that AI will
unleash employment doom have failed to materialize in industries already
embracing the tech most. It also noted the initial consequences of AI
adoption included higher job creation, increased pay for those new
positions, and reduced inequality by allowing people without university
degrees to combine their skills with many AI-executed tasks formerly
reserved for knowledge workers. “In contrast to worries that AI could cause
sharp reductions in the number of jobs available, this year’s findings show
jobs are growing in virtually every type of AI-exposed occupation,
including highly automatable ones,” said PwC global chief AI officer Joe
Atkinson in the report. “AI is amplifying and democratizing expertise,
enabling employees to multiply their impact, and focus on higher-level
responsibilities.” Those and other findings in the study may serve to
undermine some of the more dire predictions made by AI critics. To create
the study, PwC analyzed 800 million job posting and combed through
thousands of financial reports of businesses in a variety of sectors. In
addition to finding companies that had integrated the tech most reported
increased job creation, the consultancy found five other ways AI adoption
creates positive effects.Featured VideoAn Inc.com Featured Presentation For
example, wages rose “twice as quickly in those industries most exposed to
AI compared to those least exposed,” it said—even for people working in
highly automatable roles. One reason for that increased pay was surging
productivity, with the companies having embraced AI the most quadrupling
their output compared with slower adopting businesses. With AI increasingly
automating research, writing, accounting, and a lot of other duties
previously handled by knowledge workers, employees without college degrees
were able to add those tasks to the skills they were initially hired for by
using AI. By broadening the range and deepening the value of their work for
employers, those people benefitted from the average 56 percent wage premium
that businesses have accorded people with AI capabilities, PwC said. In
other words, rather than pushing employees out of jobs by automating them,
AI has thus far permitted workers to enhance their value to businesses by
doing a wider number of tasks, boosting their productivity, and increasing
their pay as they did. But to make that shift, the PwC report said,
people—and their employers—had to be both willing and quick to adjust to
the demands of the quickly developing tech. “AI’s rapid advance is not just
reshaping industries, but fundamentally altering the workforce and the
skills required,” said PwC global workforce leader Pete Brown. “This is not
a situation that employers can easily buy their way out of. Even if they
can pay the premium required to attract talent with AI skills, those skills
can quickly become out of date without investment in the systems to help
the workforce learn.” Of course, skeptics may argue that in examining
initial consequences of the fairly recent and still developing tech, PwC
may have merely focused on an initially positive phase the could be
followed by mass job cuts as companies master AI and automate as many roles
as they can. But PwC global chief commercial officer Carol Stubbing argues
that history suggests otherwise. “We know that every time we have an
industrial revolution, there are more jobs created than lost,” Stubbing
said, with the caveat that employees will need to continually revolutionize
their skills to harness the powers of AI. “So the challenge, we believe, is
not that there won’t be jobs. It’s that workers need to be prepared to take
them.” The early-rate deadline for the 2025 Inc. Power Partner Awards is

When evaluating where artificial intelligence has had the most impact, many think of their personal use of AI or the integration of AI into many consumer applications. The use of AI in the employment context is on the back burner for many, but it has become a significant issue.
Employers, of course, must understand how AI can be used for Human Resources functions such as hiring, monitoring, and performance evaluations; to assist in maintaining the organization’s competitive edge; and the legal risks associated with AI use. Employees must be aware of the organization’s standards for use of AI and how to avoid creating data security or privacy risks, while also understanding how to use AI in compliance with the employer’s policies and practices.
**Regulatory background**
As we have reported, AI-specific regulation is relatively limited, even in states such as California, Colorado, and Virginia, which tend to be at the forefront of regulating new technologies. Most of new legislation is directed at amending or supplementing existing laws. Although the majority of legislation is directed at “high-risk systems” and preventing “algorithmic discrimination,” the breadth and complexity of issues have made it exceptionally challenging for policy makers to reach a consensus on how to regulate AI.
At the federal level, Congress has shown no indication that it will pursue sweeping AI regulation. However, just two weeks ago, tucked in the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee’s markups for budget reconciliation was a provision that would prohibit states from enforcing any law or regulation related to AI for ten years after enactment. This moratorium passed the House on May 22, albeit with slight changes intended to ensure that the provisions focused on interstate commerce. It is not clear that the moratorium will pass in the Senate, but if enacted, it is almost certain to face challenges immediately on both interstate commerce and Tenth Amendment grounds. Thus, it appears that Congress is willing to influence federal policy on AI one way or another, and employers should continue to monitor developments.
In the employment context, much of the regulation that exists concerns the use of AI in recruiting and hiring processes. One of the earliest laws regulating use of AI in employment contexts was New York City’s Local Law 144, and since its enactment in 2023, a number of states have imposed limitations on the use of AI for hiring – most notably, Colorado, Illinois, and Maryland. The state laws generally focus on transparency and avoiding discrimination. Businesses covered by the laws are generally required to provide certain disclosures about their AI use and to obtain prior consent from employees or applicants regarding the use of AI in hiring.
**AI challenges unique to employers**
The rise of remote work has resulted in new challenges relating primarily to workforce monitoring. Employers who use activity trackers must ensure that they do not violate any AI or data privacy regulations. AI and data privacy issues also arise when physical badge swipes and technology that monitors employee movements are used in preparing performance evaluations and making employment decisions.
In addition to employee privacy, employers must be concerned about their own privacy – in other words, the confidentiality of the company’s proprietary or personnel information, including employee medical information. Employers should train employees about the importance of avoiding inappropriate disclosures when using AI.
Employers must consider the possibility that use of AI to screen applicants can result in discrimination claims. Algorithms may be based on older data that can perpetuate discriminatory hiring decisions. For example, an algorithm may be based on data from a time when employees in a certain job category were predominantly white, or male. If so, the algorithm may select applicants who are white males based on this historical data, which can result in discrimination claims by female or minority applicants who are screened out before the employer is even aware of their existence. AI applicant screening has also been alleged to eliminate older applicants, and applicants with disabilities.
With current employees, AI monitoring tools may fail to account for reasonable accommodations. For example, an employer may use an AI tool to monitor and track employee productivity, and the tool flags atypical breaks but is not programmed to consider accommodations. As a result, the tool may flag an employee for disciplinary action for taking excessive breaks, even though the employee was given the additional break time as a reasonable accommodation for a disability. The California Privacy Protection Agency has issued proposed regulations to address this issue. Comments are still being accepted on the proposed regulations.
The above illustrates that employers must ensure that they do not over-rely on AI tool outputs. A human still needs to ensure that AI tools are functioning accurately and to validate outcomes. Otherwise, the employer could face liability under the anti-discrimination or other employment laws. If the employer is using AI tools provided by a vendor, it should understand that both the employer and the vendor can be liable for any violations. Thus, the employer should exercise appropriate oversight and also consider including indemnification provisions in its contract with the vendor.
**Suggestions for employers using AI**
As employers continue to adopt and integrate AI, there are three foundational elements that they should put into place and maintain:
* Appoint a cross-functional group with authority to oversee all AI issues in the organization – in other words, to comprehensively manage AI for the entire business.
* Set ground rules for AI use, for example, by adopting an enterprise-wide “AI Acceptable Use” policy, or by developing a comprehensive governance framework for managing and assessing AI compliance, perhaps based on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and providing ongoing training to employees.

More than 19 million jobs — or 12.6% of current U.S. roles — face a high risk or very high risk of near-term displacement due to automation, according to a report from SHRM.
In the highest risk category, blue-collar, service, and white-collar administrative support occupations were comparatively likely to be displaced.
While the “vast majority” of jobs are likely to escape full displacement, SHRM said, “it is also true that a clear majority of current jobs are already automated to some extent, so even if actual displacement risk is relatively limited, rapidly advancing automation technology (e.g., the development of generative AI tools) will almost certainly transform a large share of employment in the years ahead,” SHRM concluded.
In an analysis of more than 800 occupations appearing in Bureau of Labor Statistics data, SHRM found about 39% of the total 152 million jobs in the U.S. face negligible automation displacement risks, particularly because they’re currently not automated at all.
However, about half of jobs face a slight or moderate risk of automation in the near future. The remaining nearly 13% are projected to face high risks because they’re already highly or completely automated today.
In response, workers in high-risk categories should reskill or upskill, SHRM said, particularly the 3.2 million workers estimated to be in the very high risk group. This could include workers in health care support, transportation and administrative support.
“The most exposed groups are those with skill sets that emphasize highly routinized tasks that can increasingly be done using advanced robotics and/or software,” according to the report. “On the opposite end of the spectrum, the groups we estimate to have the lowest exposure to near-term automation displacement risk generally emphasize creative and/or critical thinking, interpersonal skills, and tasks that require a degree of improvisation and ingenuity.”
Generative AI may have a “high human cost,” especially in industries related to finance and insurance; professional services; and information systems, according to another SHRM report. Reskilling will become increasingly important, the organization said, so HR professionals can prepare now with learning and development opportunities.
In the tech industry, more than half of hiring managers have said their companies will likely conduct layoffs within the next year, according to a General Assembly report. Workers with jobs that can be replaced by AI tools may be the first to go, though these workers could also be reskilled or upskilled, they said.
In fact, more than half of leaders who already laid off workers due to AI have said they made the wrong decision, according to an Orgvue survey. Leaders admitted to a lack of awareness around AI implementation, but most still remained positive about AI and said they’d increase their investments throughout 2025. | 1 month ago | HR Dive | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 1 | automation job displacement | 2025-06-17 14:02:30 | null |
Automation Displacement in the US Workforce: Who’s at Risk? | https://www.shrm.org/executive-network/insights/people-strategy/automation-displacement-us-workforce-whos-at-risk | This article explores SHRM's groundbreaking research into the impact of automation and related technologies, such as generative AI,... |
"Automation has been a feature of technological change throughout human history, particularly since the start of the Industrial Revolution. However, rather than progressing at a regular, predictable pace, automation often occurs unpredictably during short bursts of rapid technological change.
Given that we currently find ourselves in such a period, there is renewed interest in understanding the types of jobs that are susceptible to displacement through automation, along with the likely number of workers affected. Many estimates have been produced over the years, but consensus remains elusive.
In response to this uncertainly, SHRM has embarked on new research in 2025 that aims to estimate the extent to which automation and related technologies (e.g., generative AI) will displace human labor in the U.S. workforce. As a first step, we have developed a novel approach to measuring automation displacement risk among U.S. workers
This research uses data from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a government database designed to track the characteristics of hundreds of occupations. Our approach relies on the O*NET “degree of automation” data, which reports the extent to which individual occupations are currently automated (i.e., not at all, slightly, moderately, highly, or completely automated).
We assume that an occupation’s current level of automation is predictive of future automation displacement risk. Furthermore, we allow automation displacement risk to vary within an individual occupation. For example, if 20% of O*NET respondents in a given occupation report that their job is highly or completely automated, we project that 20% of employment in that occupation faces a high or very high risk of automation displacement.
## Many Will Be Affected, But Fewer Replaced
Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) data for May 2023 from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports a total nonfarm national employment level of about 151.9 million people. We estimate that a great majority of this employment (87.4%) is currently not at all, slightly, or moderately automated (s _ee Figure 1_). This suggests two notable things:
1. Most jobs currently require a sufficient level of human input to make their full displacement by automation tools unlikely in the immediate future.
2. Nearly half of all jobs currently involve a slight or moderate level of automation, which suggests that advances in automation technology will transform a huge fraction of U.S. employment, even if relatively few jobs are displaced.
Although we estimate that most jobs are unlikely to be displaced by automation in the near term, this risk does exist. Specifically, we estimate 19.2 million jobs (12.6%) are currently highly or completely automated, putting them at high or very high risk of near-term automation displacement. This figure comprises about 16 million jobs (10.5%) that we estimate face high risk and 3.2 million jobs (2.1%) that face very high risk.
**Which occupations will feel the most impact?** Exposure to high or very high automation displacement risk is not evenly distributed across occupational groups (_see Figure 2_).
On the low end of the spectrum, we estimate that less than 8% of employment is exposed to high or very high automation displacement risk in six occupation groups, including less than 5% in one case (life, physical, and social science occupations). Individual occupations in these groups often place strong emphasis on characteristics such as critical/creative thinking, creative expression, interpersonal interaction, and/or nonroutinized tasks.
On the high end, we find that at least 15% of employment faces high or very high automation displacement risk in four occupational groups, including nearly 20% of employment in business and financial operations. Often, occupations in these high-risk groups involve a large amount of routinized labor done by machines and software.
## What Lies Ahead?
Before interpreting these findings, it’s critical to note that our estimate of 19.2 million jobs facing high or very high automation displacement risk should not be construed as a projection of job losses stemming from automation. Instead, this research provides a sense of scale and highlights which jobs are most vulnerable. SHRM will continue to refine our estimates to assess automation’s impact on job loss, creation, and transformation.
That said, the findings of this initial research provide some important insights for HR executives regarding the likely evolution of work, especially for organizations in which workers’ jobs are already highly automated. Plus, it’s important to note that complete displacement of workers by automation isn’t purely a technology issue. In many cases, the automate-or-not question depends on legal and regulatory issues, or is affected by factors such as customer preferences for human labor.
As HR executives navigate this era of rapid automation, the key challenges are not just anticipating displacement and replacement but actively shaping the future of work and focusing on transformation of roles. HR leaders must focus on workforce agility by investing in continuous learning, reskilling, and redesigning roles to complement automation rather than compete with it.

# Automation Displacement in the US Workforce: Who’s at Risk?
May 1, 2025 | Justin Ladner
Automation has been a feature of technological change throughout human history, particularly since the start of the Industrial Revolution. However, rather than progressing at a regular, predictable pace, automation often occurs unpredictably during short bursts of rapid technological change.
Given that we currently find ourselves in such a period, there is renewed interest in understanding the types of jobs that are susceptible to displacement through automation, along with the likely number of workers affected. Many estimates have been produced over the years, but consensus remains elusive.
In response to this uncertainly, SHRM has embarked on new research in 2025 that aims to estimate the extent to which automation and related technologies (e.g., generative AI) will displace human labor in the U.S. workforce. As a first step, we have developed a novel approach to measuring automation displacement risk among U.S. workers
This research uses data from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a government database designed to track the characteristics of hundreds of occupations. Our approach relies on the O*NET “degree of automation” data, which reports the extent to which individual occupations are currently automated (i.e., not at all, slightly, moderately, highly, or completely automated).
We assume that an occupation’s current level of automation is predictive of future automation displacement risk. Furthermore, we allow automation displacement risk to vary within an individual occupation. For example, if 20% of O*NET respondents in a given occupation report that their job is highly or completely automated, we project that 20% of employment in that occupation faces a high or very high risk of automation displacement.
## Many Will Be Affected, But Fewer Replaced
Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) data for May 2023 from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports a total nonfarm national employment level of about 151.9 million people. We estimate that a great majority of this employment (87.4%) is currently not at all, slightly, or moderately automated. This suggests two notable things:
1. Most jobs currently require a sufficient level of human input to make their full displacement by automation tools unlikely in the immediate future.
2. Nearly half of all jobs currently involve a slight or moderate level of automation, which suggests that advances in automation technology will transform a huge fraction of U.S. employment, even if relatively few jobs are displaced.
Although we estimate that most jobs are unlikely to be displaced by automation in the near term, this risk does exist. Specifically, we estimate 19.2 million jobs (12.6%) are currently highly or completely automated, putting them at high or very high risk of near-term automation displacement. This figure comprises about 16 million jobs (10.5%) that we estimate face high risk and 3.2 million jobs (2.1%) that face very high risk.
**Which occupations will feel the most impact?** Exposure to high or very high automation displacement risk is not evenly distributed across occupational groups.
On the low end of the spectrum, we estimate that less than 8% of employment is exposed to high or very high automation displacement risk in six occupation groups, including less than 5% in one case (life, physical, and social science occupations). Individual occupations in these groups often place strong emphasis on characteristics such as critical/creative thinking, creative expression, interpersonal interaction, and/or nonroutinized tasks.
On the high end, we find that at least 15% of employment faces high or very high automation displacement risk in four occupational groups, including nearly 20% of employment in business and financial operations. Often, occupations in these high-risk groups involve a large amount of routinized labor done by machines and software.

Gary Grossman, Edelman
March 23, 2025 1:15 PM
Whether by automating tasks, serving as copilots or generating text, images, video and software from plain English, AI is rapidly altering how we work. Yet, for all the talk about AI revolutionizing jobs, widespread workforce displacement has yet to happen.
It seems likely that this could be the lull before the storm. According to a recent World Economic Forum (WEF) survey, 40% of employers anticipate reducing their workforce between 2025 and 2030 in areas wherever AI can automate tasks. This statistic dovetails well with earlier predictions. For example, Goldman Sachs said in a research report two years ago that “generative AI could expose the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs to automation leading to “significant disruption” in the labor market.
Inside the Cybersecurity-First AI Model
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) “almost 40% of global employment is exposed to AI.” Brookings said last fall in another report that “more than 30% of all workers could see at least 50% of their occupation’s tasks disrupted by gen AI.” Several years ago, Kai-Fu Lee, one of the world’s foremost AI experts, said in a 60 Minutes interview that AI could displace 40% of global jobs within 15 years.
If AI is such a disruptive force, why aren’t we seeing large layoffs?
Some have questioned those predictions, especially as job displacement from AI so far appears negligible. For example, an October 2024 Challenger Report that tracks job cuts said that in the 17 months between May 2023 and September 2024, fewer than 17,000 jobs in the U.S. had been lost due to AI.
On the surface, this contradicts the dire warnings. But does it? Or does it suggest that we are still in a gradual phase before a possible sudden shift? History shows that technology-driven change does not always happen in a steady, linear fashion. Rather, it builds up over time until a sudden shift reshapes the landscape.
In a recent Hidden Brain podcast on inflection points, researcher Rita McGrath of Columbia University referenced Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises. When one character was asked how they went bankrupt, they answered: “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.” This could be an allegory for the impact of AI on jobs.
This pattern of change — slow and nearly imperceptible at first, then suddenly undeniable — has been experienced across business, technology and society. Malcolm Gladwell calls this a “tipping point,” or the moment when a trend reaches critical mass, then dramatically accelerates.
In cybernetics — the study of complex natural and social systems — a tipping point can occur when recent technology becomes so widespread that it fundamentally changes the way people live and work. In such scenarios, the change becomes self-reinforcing. This often happens when innovation and economic incentives align, making change inevitable.
Gradually, then suddenly
While employment impacts from AI are (so far) nascent, that is not true of AI adoption. In a new survey by McKinsey, 78% of respondents said their organizations use AI in at least one business function, up more than 40% from 2023. Other research found that 74% of enterprise C-suite executives are now more confident in AI for business advice than colleagues or friends. The research also revealed that 38% trust AI to make business decisions for them, while 44% defer to AI reasoning over their own insights.
It is not only business executives who are increasing their use of AI tools. A new chart from the investment firm Evercore depicts increased use among all age groups over the last 9 months, regardless of application.
This data reveals both broad and growing adoption of AI tools. However, true enterprise AI integration remains in its infancy — just 1% of executives describe their gen AI rollouts as mature, according to another McKinsey survey. This suggests that while AI adoption is surging, companies have yet to fully integrate it into core operations in a way that might displace jobs at scale. But that could change quickly. If economic pressures intensify, businesses may not have the luxury of gradual AI adoption and may feel the need to automate fast.
Canary in the coal mine
One of the first job categories likely to be hit by AI is software development. Numerous AI tools based on large language models (LLMs) exist to augment programming, and soon the function could be entirely automated. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said recently on Reddit that “we’re 3 to 6 months from a world where AI is writing 90% of the code. And then in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code._
This trend is becoming clear, as evidenced by startups in the winter 2025 cohort of incubator Y Combinator. Managing partner Jared Friedman said that 25% of this startup batch have 95% of their codebases generated by AI. He added: “A year ago, [the companies] would have built their product from scratch — but now 95% of it is built by an AI.”
The LLMs underlying code generation, such as Claude, Gemini, Grok, Llama and ChatGPT, are all advancing rapidly and increasingly perform well on an array of quantitative benchmark tests. For example, reasoning model o3 from OpenAI missed only one question on the 2024 American Invitational Mathematics Exam, scoring 97.7%, and achieved 87.7% on GPQA Diamond, which has graduate-level biology, physics and chemistry questions.
Even more striking is a qualitative impression of the new GPT 4.5, as described in a Confluence post. GPT 4.5 correctly answered a broad and vague prompt that other models could not. This might not seem remarkable, but the authors noted: “This insignificant exchange was the first conversation with an LLM where we walked away thinking, ‘Now that feels like general intelligence.’” Did OpenAI just cross a threshold with GPT 4.5?
Tipping points
While software engineering may be among the first knowledge-worker professions to face widespread AI automation, it will not be the last. Many other white-collar jobs covering research, customer service and financial analysis are similarly exposed to AI-driven disruption.
What might prompt a sudden shift in workplace adoption of AI? History shows that economic recessions often accelerate technological adoption, and the next downturn may be the tipping point when AI’s impact on jobs shifts from gradual to sudden.
During economic downturns, businesses face pressure to cut costs and improve efficiency, making automation more attractive. Labor becomes more expensive compared to technology investments, especially when companies need to do more with fewer human resources. This phenomenon is sometimes called “forced productivity.” As an example, the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009 saw significant advances in automation, cloud computing and digital platforms.
If a recession materializes in 2025 or 2026, companies facing pressure to reduce headcount may well turn to AI technologies, particularly tools and processes based on LLMs, as a strategy to support efficiency and productivity with fewer people. This could be even more pronounced — and more sudden — given business worries about falling behind in AI adoption.
Will there be a recession in 2025?
It is always difficult to tell when a recession will occur. J.P. Morgan’s chief economist recently estimated a 40% chance. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers said it could be around 50%. The betting markets are aligned with these views, predicting a greater than 40% probability that a recession will occur in 2025.
If a recession does occur later in 2025, it could indeed be characterized as an “AI recession.” However, AI itself will not be the cause. Instead, economic necessity could force companies to accelerate automation decisions. This would not be a technological inevitability, but a strategic response to financial pressure.
The extent of AI’s impact will depend on several factors, including the pace of technological sophistication and integration, the effectiveness of workforce retraining programs and the adaptability of businesses and employees to an evolving landscape.
Whenever it occurs, the next recession may not just lead to temporary job losses. Companies that have been experimenting with AI or adopting it in limited deployments may suddenly find automation not optional, but essential for survival. If such a scenario happens, it may signal a permanent shift toward a more AI-driven workforce.
As Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff put it in a recent earnings call: “We’re the last generation of CEOs to only manage humans. Every CEO going forward is going to manage humans and agents together. I know that’s what I’m doing. … You can see it also in the global economy. I think productivity is going to rise without additions to more human labor, which is good because human labor is not increasing in the global workforce.”
Many of history’s biggest technological shifts have coincided with economic downturns. AI may be next. The only question left is: Will 2025 be the year AI not only augments jobs but begins to replace them?
Gradually, then suddenly.

Blue-collar, service and support roles may be hit hardest by new AI tools

New research from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) finds that 12.6% of current roles in the US are at high risk, or very high risk, of displacement due to the proliferation of AI-powered tools across the American workplace.
The report doesn’t attempt to forecast future job losses stemming from automation, but instead looks at the exposure of the current US workforce. Many technologists note that the adoption curve for technology is long, and with many HR teams racing to become AI-enabled in 2025, the AI penetration at the enterprise level [is just beginning](https://venturebeat.com/ai/gradually-then-suddenly-is-ai-job-displacement-following-this-pattern/).
The report found blue-collar, service, and administrative support roles are disproportionately affected by the technology and are at higher risks than other occupations. Additionally, finance and insurance, manufacturing, and transportation and warehouse roles report the highest exposure to automation-driven disruptions, the report found.
The good news is the vast majority of jobs are negligibly or only slightly at risk for AI-related displacement (62.8%). The findings echo earlier HR Brew reporting that AI automation generally (and currently) addresses task-based work rather than entire roles.
“AI tools are about tasks rather than jobs. They are removing a subset of activities…that are sapping their productivity,” according to Zoom’s Josh Kallmer [earlier this year](https://www.hr-brew.com/stories/2025/02/28/despite-fears-of-displacement-policy-pros-are-confident-ai-will-impact-tasks-more-profoundly-than-jobs).
The findings come as companies are working quickly to procure and develop AI tools to augment their workflow and improve productivity, chiefly addressing rote work involved in day-to-day activities, allowing employees to transform their roles into new AI-powered ones.
“As HR executives navigate this era of rapid automation, the key challenges are not just anticipating displacement and replacement but actively shaping the future of work and focusing on transformation of roles,” according to SHRM’s senior labor economist Justin Ladner in a [blog post](https://www.shrm.org/executive-network/insights/people-strategy/automation-displacement-us-workforce-whos-at-risk) about the findings. “HR leaders must focus on workforce agility by investing in continuous learning, reskilling, and redesigning roles to complement automation rather than compete with it.” | 1 month ago | HR Brew | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 6 | automation job displacement | 2025-06-17 14:02:30 | null |

September 25, 2024
By Lina Moe, William M. Rodgers III
Technology is transformative, and with the rapid pace of change, workers might wonder: Are robots going to help me or take my job? Robots have already transformed industries from health care to manufacturing and have catalyzed important questions about the future of work. This blog post unpacks how economists examine this issue and recent research suggesting that, though the effects of automation are complex, some groups of workers will be disproportionately impacted.
In this blog post, we focused on robots that can interact with the physical world rather than artificial intelligence chatbots, like ChatGPT. Robots can be augmented by artificial intelligence, or AI, but they can also be designed to work based on classical computer engineering principles.
Robots can perform tasks that were once the sole domain of humans, leading to both opportunities and challenges in the labor market. Economists approach the question of robots’ impact on jobs by thinking about three broad categories: job displacement, job transformation and job creation. Here, we consider each potential effect of robots—and focus on how some groups, such as low-income workers with lower levels of education, are more profoundly affected. Finally, we address what some economists have already found about robots’ effects on employment.
How Automation Displaces Some Workers
Robots often outperform humans in efficiency and accuracy at routine tasks in highly controlled environments. Industrial robots are commonplace in manufacturing, handling tasks such as welding and packaging. Automotive factories use robots for assembling cars, reducing the need for human labor in those roles. And some other sectors, like mining, appear primed for more automation. Yet, while technological advances can lead to worker displacement, research has shown that growing trade deficits and taking production offshore have been bigger drivers of manufacturing job losses in the U.S.
Today, robots are increasingly deployed in warehousing and logistics. Companies like Amazon and Walmart Inc. use robots for sorting, packing and moving goods. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robotic arms streamline warehouse operations, which leads to a reduction in the demand for human warehouse workers.
Ways Robots Can Transform Jobs
Yet, while robots may eliminate some jobs, others may be transformed. The integration of robots often requires human oversight and maintenance, generating new roles that blend technical skills with traditional job functions.
Robots have the potential to complement many jobs in health care, assisting physical therapists with patients or surgeons in performing complex procedures. But even though robots may handle specific tasks, surgeons are needed to operate the robotic systems and interpret output data. Additionally, robots used for patient care and rehabilitation require health care professionals’ supervision.
In agriculture, drones can be used for crop monitoring and harvesting. Farmers’ skillsets now need to include expertise in managing these technologies, requiring a combination of agricultural knowledge with technical skills in robotics and data analysis.
How Robots Can Help with Job Creation
Robots may replace some jobs and transform others, but the increasing use of robots in a range of industries will also create new job opportunities across the skills spectrum.
On the one hand, jobs that have higher education requirements, such as those in designing, programming and manufacturing of robots, will mean more opportunities for engineers and technicians. Data collection and analysis are often needed to make sure that robots perform well, so jobs in data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence are poised to grow.
In addition, jobs that focus on the development, deployment and maintenance of robotic systems are likely to expand.
Technicians and system operators will manage automated production lines.
Drone operators will be responsible for the monitoring of processes, delivery services and infrastructure inspection.
Logistics coordinators and quality control inspectors may manage the flow of goods even in largely automated warehouses, coordinating the movement of products and materials using robotic systems.
These occupations may require vocational or certificate training but could be available to workers without college degrees.
What Have Economists Found about Robots’ Effects on Workers?
Will robots replace workers or help them? Thus far, only a few studies have attempted to quantify the effects robots and automation have on employment and wages. Recent research suggests the balance between augmentation and replacement has not taken a decisive turn, but may be tipping gradually toward greater labor displacement.
The International Federation of Robotics has been measuring robot use since the late 1980s, which allows economists to measure how robot use affects job growth. In a 2019 report, economists William Rodgers III and Richard Freeman analyzed “How Robots Are Beginning to Affect Workers and Their Wages” by examining the U.S. labor market following the Great Recession, from 2009 to 2017. They found that throughout the post-recession recovery, there was both an increase in robot use and significant job growth in the U.S. labor market, suggesting the strong economy largely masked any job losses.
They also found that robot growth was not distributed equally across the nation. Instead, it was concentrated in the Midwestern states that make up the East North Central census division (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin) and in manufacturing industries. | 8 months ago | Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 7 | automation job displacement | 2025-06-17 14:02:30 | null |
Florida Legislature Passes Bill to Study Automation’s Impact on Jobs, Economy | https://thecapitolist.com/florida-legislature-passes-bill-to-study-automations-impact-on-jobs-economy/ | The Florida Legislature has approved a bill directing a statewide study on how automation, artificial intelligence and robotics are expected... | The Florida Legislature has approved a bill directing a statewide study on how automation, artificial intelligence and robotics are expected to reshape the state’s industries and workforce, sending the measure to the Governor’s desk for signature.
House Bill 827, sponsored by Rep. Leonard Spencer and Sen. Tracie Davis, tasks the Bureau of Workforce Statistics and Economic Research within the Department of Commerce with analyzing the economic impacts of emerging automation technologies.
The study will focus on identifying industries and geographic regions most vulnerable to job displacement, evaluating the demographics of workers most at risk, and assessing the broader effects on wages, job quality, and productivity.
Under the bill, the bureau is authorized to consult with business leaders, academic institutions, and local economic development groups to complete its analysis. A report of findings and policy recommendations must be submitted to the Governor, Senate President, and House Speaker by December 1, 2025, with updates required every three years thereafter.
Spencer said the bill is about ensuring Florida’s workforce is equipped for the rapid changes driven by automation and AI.
“I’ve seen the impact of automation and AI up close. I’ve seen how these forces can reshape entire industries, disrupt the livelihood of everyday hardworking people, and at the same time, spark entirely new fields and opportunities almost overnight,” he said. “But opportunity isn’t automatic, we have to be intentional and we have to prepare for it. That’s why workforce development isn’t just a policy priority for me, it is a promise to Florida’s future. Our ability to thrive in this new era depends on how we respond today. HB 827 is about making sure our response is rooted in facts, and guided by data, not guesswork. It is an important step to equip our workers with the skills to succeed, foster innovation, and ensure Florida is the leader in shaping the economy of tomorrow.”
Davis described the legislation as vital to understanding the future of work in Florida.
“HB 827 is crucial to providing an understanding about AI’s impact on our workforce – where those jobs are, where they’re going, and who it will impact,” she said. “Automation has been both a factor and a fear in many industries for years and being able to look ahead to the real-world impacts will inform the Legislature how to adjust to an ever-changing economic landscape.”
The bill, which passed with unanimous committee support, carries an indeterminate fiscal impact, but the Department of Commerce is expected to absorb the cost of the study within its existing resources. It is scheduled to take effect July 1, 2025, pending the Governor’s approval.

BY Nada R. Sanders, Paula Caligiuri
April 9, 2025 at 6:00 PM EDT
Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries, automating tasks that once required human labor. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 projects that by 2030, AI will create 170 million new jobs while displacing 92 million, resulting in a net gain of 78 million jobs.
At first glance, these numbers seem reassuring. But the real issue isn’t the total number of jobs— _it’s the timing_. AI is poised to eliminate jobs far faster than new roles emerge, and that lag could drive waves of unemployment before the labor market stabilizes.
The reason lies in how work is structured. Today, in many industries, AI is automating human tasks within the current system of work. New jobs will only materialize once businesses rethink and reorganize work themselves—a process that generally lags due to structural friction, organizational inertia, and skill shortages. As a result, millions of workers could face prolonged periods of joblessness while organizations work to adapt.
How long this transition takes will depend on two critical factors: how quickly organizations restructure work for an AI-driven economy and whether workers have the skills to step into the roles that eventually emerge. Right now, neither is happening fast enough. This needs to be a wake-up call to prevent massive skill gaps and resulting unemployment.
### The fast speed of change in AI replacing tasks
Automation replacing jobs is nothing new. The mechanization of agriculture, the rise of assembly lines, and the advent of computers all displaced large numbers of workers at various points in history. However, past technological shifts often allowed for gradual adaptation and the system of work changed in tandem. The industrial revolution unfolded over decades; the digital revolution gave workers time to acquire new skills. AI, by contrast, is progressing at an unprecedented speed.
The automation of cognitive tasks to AI is particularly disruptive. Unlike past waves of mechanization that primarily affected manual labor, AI is now replacing white-collar workers—customer service representatives, legal researchers, financial analysts, and even entry-level programmers. Goldman Sachs predicts that, globally, AI could expose the equivalent of 300 million full-time jobs to automation in the coming years. Some professions may not disappear entirely, but AI will reduce the need for human input, shrinking job availability.
Crucially, AI does not disrupt industries in a predictable, linear fashion. Some sectors—such as customer service and data entry—are seeing immediate and large-scale displacement. Others, such as law and health care, may experience slower, more phased automation. But when AI becomes proficient in each field, job losses can be swift.
Take the legal industry. AI-powered contract review software can process thousands of documents in seconds, reducing the need for junior lawyers. In customer service, AI chatbots are handling millions of interactions daily, eliminating the need for human agents at call centers. The retail sector has already seen mass layoffs due to self-checkout systems and warehouse automation. And with generative AI tools like ChatGPT encroaching on content creation, translation, and even marketing, few knowledge-based professions are immune.
### The slow speed of change for work systems and workers’ skills
Working new technology into old work systems generally means that new technology will initially create fewer jobs than those they replace. When AI is introduced into an old work system, it simply automates existing tasks—like a call center replacing human agents with chatbots—while the structure of work remains unchanged. But real disruption happens when AI redesigns the system entirely, eliminating the need for traditional workflows. Instead of waiting for customers to call, AI-powered predictive analytics can detect and resolve issues before they arise, integrating service directly into products and eliminating the need for a call center altogether.
While new jobs will eventually emerge, such as AI trainers and user experience designers, this transformation happens far slower than job displacement, creating a painful lag where workers are left without immediate alternatives. Many of the roles that AI will create require advanced technical skills, such as data annotation, AI model supervision, human-AI collaboration management, and industry-specific digital fluency, which require specialized training and hands-on experience.
Even in tech-heavy industries, AI-driven job growth has limits. While AI may create new forms of employment, such as AI auditors and AI ethics consultants, these roles require specialized knowledge and are far fewer in number than the jobs being eliminated. Even workers with cutting-edge technical expertise today can’t afford complacency. Both IBM and the Boston Consulting Group estimate that some technical IT skills have a half-life of less than three years, meaning today’s in-demand expertise could be obsolete before the ink dries on a certification. In this environment, lifelong learning is no longer an aspirational ideal; it’s a career survival strategy.
### The consequences of the transition lag
This gap between the displacement and the creation of jobs is where the real problem lies. Governments and corporations often assume that if new jobs emerge eventually, short-term unemployment can be managed. But history suggests otherwise. The rise of automobiles, for example, put blacksmiths and carriage makers out of business, but the automotive industry eventually created millions of jobs. The internet displaced thousands of print media jobs but led to a boom in digital marketing, e-commerce, and software development. These transitions, while positive in job growth, nonetheless took decades.
We predict that the prolonged mismatch between job displacement and job creation will likely lead to short-term spikes in unemployment, as many workers will struggle to transition quickly. We will also likely see growing income inequality as high-paying AI-related jobs will be concentrated among the highly educated, while lower-skilled workers face declining wages.
Periods of economic transition have always been marked by social and economic upheaval. The decline of coal mining in the United States, the outsourcing of manufacturing, and the automation of assembly lines led to waves of unemployment, regional economic collapse, and a rise in populist politics. AI could trigger similar disruption, but on a global scale and at a faster pace. We need a wake-up call and action if we are to prevent the potential consequences of this transition.

The rise of artificial intelligence could drastically alter the U.S. and European job markets, according to Goldman Sachs in a Forbes report. The investment bank estimates 300 million jobs may be lost or diminished as automation accelerates. While AI could drive innovation and increase global GDP by 7%, it also poses significant risks for labor markets.
The rise of artificial intelligence could drastically alter the U.S. and European job markets, according to Goldman Sachs in a Forbes report.
The investment bank estimates 300 million jobs may be lost or diminished as automation accelerates. While AI could drive innovation and increase global GDP by 7%, it also poses significant risks for labor markets.
AI’s rapid growth mirrors past technological revolutions. Tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E have showcased AI’s potential, with ChatGPT gaining over a million users within five days.
Global investments in AI projects have surged, totaling $94 billion since 2021, according to Stanford’s AI Index Report. AI could add 1% to U.S. GDP by 2030, with industries like administration, legal, and healthcare expected to see major shifts.
Despite its promise, AI exacerbates income inequality. Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research attributes 50% to 70% of wage changes since 1980 to automation.
Blue-collar workers, particularly those without college degrees, have seen wages decline as jobs are replaced by robotics and specialized software. Meanwhile, white-collar professionals with advanced degrees have largely benefited.
The disruption extends across sectors, with truck drivers, cashiers, and factory workers among those most affected. Emerging AI technologies — like self-driving vehicles and automated kiosks — continue to displace low-skilled roles.
Advanced systems also challenge traditionally secure professions, with robots performing surgeries and detecting illnesses with greater precision than humans.
Organizations like the World Economic Forum warn of a “double-disruption,” as AI accelerates job displacement. While companies highlight potential economic benefits, critics caution against overlooking the human cost. Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter, predicts AI will even write its own software, reducing demand for entry-level programming roles.
As AI reshapes economies, experts urge discussions on managing its impact to prevent worsening inequality and job losses. | 5 months ago | GV Wire | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 12 | automation job displacement | 2025-06-17 14:02:30 | null |

Published August 7th, 2024 at 6:00 AM
In 2020, when Terrence Wise learned the McDonald’s where he worked would be testing a new artificial intelligence program that would help take customers’ drive-thru orders, he was excited to have a “buddy” to help manage orders.
But he quickly learned that the technology did not reduce his workload. Instead, he wore his headset and listened in on the interactions between customers and the AI, making sure the ordering process went smoothly.
When something went wrong — which happened “a majority of the time,” he said, especially at the beginning — he would have to override the AI to take the customer’s order himself.
While his ears were occupied monitoring the AI, he was expected to keep his hands busy by cleaning tables or stacking trays.
“You have to be ready to respond when the AI fails,” Wise said. “It’s added to my workload, because I’m not only listening and waiting to hop in if the person isn’t clear enough or it’s taking too long, but also doing other things.”
Wise believes that artificial intelligence won’t replace jobs in fast food or other service industries as much as it will supplement workers’ tasks and redirect their time and energy elsewhere.
“I’ve seen technology improve the way we work, the way we clean, even the way we operate the restaurant, but I’ve never really heard about that kind of technology taking the place of workers,” he said.
Others aren’t so sure.
A recent analysis by (un)Common Logic found that 10.2% of workers in the Kansas City area — about 110,000 workers — are at risk of AI-related job displacement, the seventh-highest rate among large metropolitan areas.
More than 45% are at risk of having their job automated by computers generally, the report added.
One of the studies the report is based on, which investigated the vulnerability of different occupations to any kind of automation, found that fast food workers — as well as accountants, nuclear reactor operators, receptionists and tractor operators, among others — are at high risk of automation.
Nearly 9% of workers have high AI exposure & high automation risk
In industries where automation has been more accepted, the Kansas City area has felt the effects in recent decades.
“Given the fact that manufacturing has been important here, you can see where the automation and robotics have revolutionized the auto sector. … Even those small-job shops which in the past would have relied on people still have people, but they better know how to run a machine,” said Chris Kuehl, an economist and the managing director at Armada Corporate Intelligence.
Duke Dujakovich, president of the Greater Kansas City AFL-CIO, said he is confident many of his workers will not be displaced by AI.
“The automation going on in the factories has always been the kind of thing that people point to,” he said. “But when I look at AI and what it can replace, it’s a lot of the non-physical jobs. I don’t see AI replacing my roofers. It’s just not gonna happen. AI will assist firefighters, but it’s not going to eliminate them.”
This shortage is the product of systemic challenges, according to Clyde McQueen, president and CEO of the Full Employment Council, an organization that connects job seekers with training and open positions.
“We still have workforce shortages that are based on our absence of a workforce system infrastructure in which training is important, but also child care and transportation,” he said.
Despite these challenges, McQueen said, there is a silver lining to the introduction of AI and other advanced technologies — the creation of new, better-paying positions to build, program, maintain, and repair the software and hardware that AI needs to run smoothly.
“People just look at AI as a negative and don’t look at the fact that it is an industry in and of itself that has to be supported, because the machines break down the same way they do in manufacturing,” he said.
The challenge, Kuehl said, is that the automation of entry-level positions and the growing focus on increased training before employment will prevent many from advancing in their professions and may create a “permanent underclass” of workers who cannot reach the middle class.
“Probably the single biggest worry when it comes to technology is that it removes many of those entry-level, starter jobs … It used to be that you’d hire somebody to do something very simple, and over time, they would learn new skills and advance,” Kuehl said.
However, he said, there is another lesson to take away from the manufacturing industry’s experience — most of the new jobs were not filled by laid-off workers.
“The people who lost their jobs in the manufacturing sector were overwhelmingly in things like material management. They drove forklifts. They stacked pallets. They loaded and unloaded trucks. They did that kind of work — well, that got replaced, and the guy who drove the forklift didn’t suddenly become someone who could program a computer,” Kuehl said.
Wise witnessed this firsthand, both through his advocacy work and with his own family.
“A lot of the middle-class workers that had manufacturing jobs, had good warehouse jobs, were brought into (the service) industry to work. My grandmother and everyone else went to these jobs to make ends meet,” he said. | 10 months ago | Flatland | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 13 | automation job displacement | 2025-06-17 14:02:30 | null |

The WEF releases its new 2025 Future of Jobs Report
A new WEF report predicts that AI and automation will create 170 million jobs while displacing 92 million roles as companies adapt to technological change
The rise of AI and automation has sparked global concerns and panic about job displacement, yet new research suggests these technologies may create more opportunities than they eliminate.
This transformation extends beyond the technology sector, affecting industries from manufacturing to healthcare.
Yet as AI evolves quicker than organisations can keep up with, companies face pressure to adapt their workforce strategies while managing economic uncertainty and meeting evolving societal expectations.
Now, the challenge lies not just in implementing new technologies, but in preparing workers for roles that may not yet exist.
However, the WEF’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, indicates AI and automation will transform 86% of businesses by 2030, with research drawn from a survey of 1,000 companies across 22 industries and 55 economies, representing more than 14 million workers.
Digital access driving transformation
WEF reports that broadening digital access emerges as the most transformative trend, with 60% of employers expecting it to reshape their business by 2030 - proving the adoption of new technologies across all regions and sectors.
> "As we enter 2025, the landscape of work continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Transformational breakthroughs, particularly in Gen AI, are reshaping industries and tasks across all sectors."
> Saadia Zahidi, MD at the WEF
For instance, investment in Gen AI has increased eightfold since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022.
However, whilst the technology sector leads AI adoption, construction lags.
According to the WEF, part of this lag is due to advanced and middle-income economies having widespread use of Gen AI, as low-income economies show limited implementation.
Yet workplace studies indicate the technology enhances human skills, enabling less specialised employees to perform expert tasks in accounting, nursing and teaching roles.
How robotics are impacting global manufacturing
WEF says that robot installations concentrate in five countries - China, Japan, US, Republic of Korea and Germany - accounting for 80% of global deployments.
Key facts on how AI is impacting the global workforce:
* 86% of employers expect AI and information processing technologies to transform their business by 2030
* 170 million new jobs to be created globally by 2030, while 92 million existing roles face displacement
* Investment in Gen AI has increased eightfold since ChatGPT's launch
* 39% of existing skill sets will become outdated between 2025-2030
* 85% of employers plan to prioritise workforce upskilling
* 63% of employers identify skills gaps as the primary barrier to business transformation
Global robot density now reaches 162 units per 10,000 employees, double the figure from seven years ago.
However, regional variations in robotics impact reflect technological development disparities: over 60% of employers in the five leading countries anticipate transformation, compared to 39% in Sub-Saharan Africa and 44% in the Middle East and North Africa.
Chief People and Sustainability Officer at Siemens, Judith Wiese
Highlighting the domineering issue of mass upskilling to keep up with AI’s evolution, Judith Wiese, Chief People and Sustainability Officer at Siemens AG, says in a LinkedIn post: “Imagine if a five-year degree were designed for today's skills; by the time it is completed, two years' worth of those skills would already be outdated.”
The report supports her point, by finding that 39% of existing skill sets will become outdated between 2025-203.
Skills development becomes priority
Coursera, the online learning platform, urges increased demand for Gen AI training.
India and the US lead in Gen AI enrolment numbers, with US demand driven by individual users while Indian uptake stems from corporate sponsorship.
The emphasis is on individual learners focusing on foundational skills like prompt engineering - the practice of crafting effective text inputs for AI systems - while corporate trainees emphasise practical workplace applications.
“Urgent upskilling is essential, as nearly 40% of the skills currently required on the job are set to change,” Judith points out.
Responding to this issue, Siemens increased its learning and education investment to €442m (US$464)in 2024, with employees averaging 27 hours of digital learning annually.
The WEF highlights that skills gaps present the primary barrier to business transformation for 63% of employers, leading 85% plan to prioritise upskilling their workforce, while 70% expect to hire staff with new skills.
Future growth areas emerging
The WEF reports that technology roles show the fastest growth, including positions for big data specialists, fintech engineers and AI specialists, whereas green transition roles such as autonomous vehicle specialists and renewable energy engineers feature among expanding positions.
Frontline roles also expect volume growth, including farmworkers, delivery drivers, construction workers and food processing workers.
Meanwhile, care economy jobs, including nursing professionals and social workers, also show expansion.
Climate change mitigation ranks as the third most transformative trend, with 47% of employers expecting business impact by 2030.
However, demographic shifts continue to shape labour markets, with aging populations in high-income economies increasing healthcare demand, while expanding working-age populations in lower-income economies fuel education sector growth.

“As we enter 2025, the landscape of work continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Transformational breakthroughs, particularly in Gen AI, are reshaping industries and tasks across all sectors,” says Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director at the WEF.
Yet she warns of the road ahead: “These technological advances, however, are converging with a broader array of challenges, including economic volatility, geoeconomic realignments, environmental challenges and evolving societal expectations.” | 5 months ago | Technology Magazine | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 14 | automation job displacement | 2025-06-17 14:02:30 | null |

India’s Economic Survey 2024-2025 pointed out that while artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to bring about a transformative era with widespread automation of economically valuable tasks across multiple sectors, it could also lead to significant job displacement, particularly affecting workers in the middle and lower wage brackets.
The Economic Survey emphasizes that policymakers must seriously consider the potential impact of automation, particularly in a country like India. Given that India’s economy is primarily service-based, with many workers in the IT sector performing low-value-added tasks, these positions are at high risk of being replaced by technology as businesses seek to cut costs.
The Economic Survey of the country, which examines national trends and aids in determining resource allocation for the budget, was presented by India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament on January 31. It was published one day before the announcement of India’s Union Budget, an annual financial report outlining the government’s planned spending, expected revenue, and expenditure for the upcoming fiscal year.
“Deployment of artificial intelligence presents both opportunities and challenges,” V Anantha Nageswaran, India’s Chief Economic Advisor, said during his press conference after the release of the Economic Survey.
“Sometimes we all feel that technology eventually generates more jobs than it displaces. That is true, but the keyword is—eventually. What happens between and eventually is critical, and that is where I think we need to create supporting institutions, enabling institutions to train them, to prepare them and academic curriculums have to change, workplace practices have to change,” Nageswaran pointed out.
“Technological transitions have not been painless in the past, particularly during the previous three industrial revolutions in the western world and we need to learn from them,” Nageswaran added.
The Economic Survey 2024-25 also points out that India’s employment challenge goes beyond simply increasing job numbers; it also involves improving the overall quality of the workforce. It notes that when labor and technology are appropriately balanced, they can complement each other. Historical evidence suggests that through careful integration and institutional support, automation increased the employment-to-population ratio throughout the 20th century. In this context, the future of work is centered on ‘Augmented Intelligence,’ where both human and machine capabilities are combined to enhance productivity and efficiency, ultimately benefiting society. Given India’s young, dynamic, and tech-savvy population, there is significant potential to develop a workforce that can harness AI to boost productivity.
Based on these observations, the Economic Survey advises that policymakers must balance technological innovation with the social costs associated with it, as AI-driven changes in the labor market could have long-lasting effects. The corporate sector must also approach the introduction of AI with sensitivity to India’s specific needs. While AI is still in its early stages, the survey notes that India has time to address these challenges, strengthen its foundations, and mobilize a nationwide institutional response.
The Economic Survey highlights several challenges that AI developers must address before widespread adoption becomes feasible. First, the practicality and reliability of AI systems are critical issues that need to be resolved. Second, AI requires significant infrastructure to scale, which will take time to develop. Lastly, AI models must focus on improving efficiency without sacrificing performance.
While AI is impressive in its current form, it is still in the developmental phase. It has a long journey ahead before it reaches the widespread adoption seen with technologies like personal computers and the Internet. The challenges that remain unresolved are substantial, and developers will require time to create cost-effective and resource-efficient solutions.
Estimates regarding the potential impacts on the labor market may be overly optimistic. However, ignoring the ‘low probability-high impact’ nature of this issue could be extremely costly for a country like India.
The Economic Survey 2024-25 stressed that addressing the adverse effects of creative destruction requires a collective societal effort, such as developing new social infrastructure to foster environments where innovation drives inclusive growth. It further suggests that India must accelerate the establishment of strong institutions through a collaborative approach involving the government, private sector, and academia.
In its recommendations for leveraging AI, the Economic Survey highlights the importance of social infrastructure, which includes enabling institutions, insuring institutions, and stewarding institutions. These institutions are crucial for transitioning the workforce to medium- and high-skill jobs, where AI can enhance human productivity rather than replace it. However, establishing these institutions is a complex and time-consuming, requiring significant intellectual and financial resources focused on a unified objective, the Survey pointed out.
“The private sector, therefore needs to weigh the benefits of artificial intelligence against the social cost, which may be subterranean in nature and which may surface over a longer period, eventually affecting the employment that is necessary for running businesses smoothly,” Nageswaran said.
The Economic Survey highlights that India’s employment challenge goes beyond simply increasing job numbers; it also involves improving the overall quality of the workforce.
In order for artificial intelligence (AI) to work right within the law and thrive in the face of growing challenges, it needs to integrate an enterprise blockchain system that ensures data input quality and ownership—allowing it to keep data safe while also guaranteeing the immutability of data.
The challenge is particularly pronounced for India due to its large population and relatively low per capita income, the Economic Survey pointed out.
If companies fail to implement AI in a way that considers long-term outcomes and handles its introduction carefully, the demand for policy intervention and the strain on fiscal resources to mitigate the effects will be inevitable. In response, the government may need to rely on taxing profits from labor-replacing technologies, as suggested by the IMF, to mobilize the necessary resources. This approach could lead to negative outcomes for everyone, hindering the country’s growth potential.
By using the time available during the early stages of AI development to build strong institutions, India can position itself to minimize the associated costs. This proactive approach could help shift the balance toward the benefits of AI, supporting a more favorable “cost-benefit” scenario in a labor-driven, services-dependent economy like India.
“As policymakers, it would benefit us to ask ourselves the question, “What were the problems in the world that demanded AI as the answer?” In other words, is AI a solution in search of a problem? This question is not easily answered as innovation does not always respond to a problem, rather emerges as a product of human ingenuity,” pointed out the Economic Survey’s chapter on ‘Labour in the AI era: Crisis or Catalyst.’
“Thus, in some sense, AI represents the human drive for improvement, for creating something previously thought impossible. However, when innovation has the possibility of coming at great societal cost, the value of innovation must then be judged in the context of its potential loss generation,” the survey added. | 4 months ago | CoinGeek | data:image/jpeg;base64,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 | 16 | automation job displacement | 2025-06-17 14:02:30 | null |
