The article discusses the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the job market, particularly for recent graduates. It highlights a global trend where AI is automating tasks previously handled by junior-level employees, allowing senior professionals to increase productivity.
AI is initially affecting 'white-collar' jobs involving intellectual or administrative tasks. Companies are increasingly equipping senior staff with AI tools to delegate tasks previously assigned to junior employees. This includes work such as reviewing documents, spreadsheets, and code.
The article cites a LinkedIn survey of over 3,000 executives, where 63% agree that AI will soon take over manual, repetitive tasks currently performed by entry-level employees. This trend is expected to expand into creative professions as well.
