AI really is cutting out entry-level jobs for human workers, study claims

Description:
The job market continues to deteriorate for young people as AI takes over 
more roles.

FULL STORY

Stanford researchers have released a new study which validates many warnings
about generative AIs effects on the workplace, claiming the technology is
having a real and measurable impact on entry-level workers - and not in a 
good way. 

The market has experienced a 13% drop in available jobs for young people in 
AI impacted fields since late 2022, making this the fastest, broadest change
seen in recent years, comparable only to the shift towards remote work during
the pandemic. 

The report note in positions where AI is poised to have the highest impact
like software development and customer service, younger workers are
increasingly unable to climb the career ladder, which risks a scenario in
10-20 years where senior leaders retire, but have an increasingly small pool
of younger leaders to promote and hand their businesses over to.

Concentrated losses

Whilst the wider job market doesnt seem to be experiencing the same level of
turbulence, those which would traditionally be listed as mundane or are 
easily automated are at serious risk - such as secretaries, administrative
assistants, and auditors. 

Whilst we are still in the relative infancy of Gen AI in the workplace, there
are bound to be teething problems whilst businesses and workers get to grips
with how the technology can be deployed - but research shows that in the UK
many have jumped the gun - as over half of businesses that replaced workers
with AI now regret their decision . 

There have been high-profile walk-backs too, with an Australian bank recently
forced to issue a public apology and rehire human workers after their AI
replacement failed to perform. 

In spite of this, OpenAIs Sam Altman has warned GenAI could wipe out some job
industries altogether, but even he argues there are still some jobs he 
wouldnt trust entirely with a chatbot, noting ChatGPT today, by the way, most
of the time, can give you better  its like, a better diagnostician than most
doctors in the world." 

Yet people still go to doctors, and I am not, like, maybe Im a dinosaur here,
but I really do not want to, like, entrust my medical fate to ChatGPT with no
human doctor in the loop.
