Impact of AI on Employment
Recent research indicates a significant decline in hiring for entry-level and mid-level positions due to the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. Employers are anticipating a 50-60% decrease for entry-level roles and a 20-40% decrease for mid-level roles in the next year. This trend exacerbates existing biases in hiring, as employers exhibit a preference for younger candidates, particularly for positions that utilize AI technologies. Specifically, the data revealed that older candidates were three times less likely to be considered for such roles, highlighting a troubling age bias in the wake of AI adoption.
