   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.
