What is machine learning? anchor what-is-machine-learning
Machine learning is a component of artificial intelligence that gives machines the ability to learn automatically from past experiences and data while noting patterns to create predictions with little to no human intervention. Using the data it processes, machine learning software imitates how humans learn and becomes more accurate over time. Machine learning is the technology behind chatbots, language translation apps, show and movie suggestions in streaming services, and the posts that show up on your social media feed. It gives computers the ability to acquire knowledge without specifically being programmed to know certain pieces of information. It can improve personal and professional functions in our everyday lives. Machine learning offers some significant benefits. It can take in and process huge amounts of data — far beyond human capabilities — and quickly learn from that information. Machine learning can differentiate objects and recognize faces, giving us the facial recognition technology many people have on their smartphones. It can quickly compare data and provide a variety of options and solutions that would take a human much more time. Machine learning is also a key component of marketing. For example, it can allow social media platforms to target advertisements to every individual’s feed. Machine learning extends communication abilities and creates more personalized experiences for consumers. Helplines and chatbots are also made possible because of machine learning, enabling companies to assist more customers than they would if they only relied on a human workforce. Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence that allows computers to perform tasks better and faster than humans.
Machine learning (ML) vs. deep learning (DL) vs. neural networks. anchor machine-learning-ml-vs-deep-learning-dl-vs-neural-networks
While machine learning and neural networks are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. Neural networks are a subfield of machine learning, and deep learning is a subfield of neural networks. Artificial neural networks are modeled on the human brain, with thousands or millions of processing nodes that are interconnected and organized into layers. Neural networks comprise three node layers — an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. Each node connects with another and has its own weight and threshold. If the output of a node is higher than its specific threshold value, that node will activate and share data with the next layer in the network. Apart from that, no data passes to the next network layer from that node. Also modeled on the way the human brain works, deep learning networks are neural networks with many layers. According to the MIT Sloan School of Management, “The layered network can process extensive amounts of data and determine the ‘weight’ of each link in the network.” Deep learning can use labeled datasets to guide its algorithm, but it doesn’t necessarily need them. Deep learning takes in raw data, such as images or text and automatically recognizes certain features that will separate different sets of data from one another. The need for human involvement is less frequent, and it can handle larger datasets compared to traditional (non-deep) machine learning, which is more dependent on human intervention.
AI vs. machine learning (ML) vs. deep learning (DL). anchor ai-vs-machine-learning-ml-vs-deep-learning-dl
Understanding the subtle but significant differences between artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning (DL) is essential to implementing these technologies effectively. Choosing the right approach depends on the business problem, available data, resources, and strategic goals. The relationship between these concepts is often visualized as a hierarchy. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the broadest category, covering all technologies that enable machines to simulate human intelligence. Machine learning (ML) is a subset of AI that focuses on algorithms that learn from data and improve over time without being explicitly programmed. Deep learning (DL) is a further subset of ML that uses highly complex neural networks with multiple layers to solve more sophisticated problems. Think of it like this: AI includes ML, and ML includes DL. What is deep learning? Deep learning is a type of machine learning that uses deep neural networks—networks with multiple hidden layers between the input and output. While simple (or “shallow”) neural networks might handle basic prediction tasks, deep learning models are capable of analyzing massive datasets and uncovering complex patterns that simpler models cannot. This depth allows deep learning models to power highly advanced technologies like voice assistants, real-time language translation, fraud detection, and autonomous vehicles. In short: All deep learning uses neural networks.
But not all neural networks are “deep” enough to qualify as deep learning. What is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence (AI) is how machines simulate human intelligence, usually to perform advanced tasks without human intervention. With AI, machines perform tasks that are commonly associated with intelligent beings. In practice, AI is human-made thinking power performed by machines. Virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa use AI to learn your preferences and suggest relevant results. AI-powered chatbots also allow shoppers to get personalized support outside of normal business operating hours. It’s also important to remember that there are several types of AI. Organizations use one or several types of AI to accomplish different tasks. The table below shows the key differences between AI, machine learning, and deep learning.

How machine learning works. anchor how-machine-learning-works
Machine learning essentially uses algorithms to create more accurate predictions. These algorithms can be: Descriptive — using data to interpret what occurred
— using data to interpret what occurred Predictive — using data to foresee what will take place
— using data to foresee what will take place Prescriptive — using data to suggest actions to take The algorithms consist of three parts: A decision process. For the most part, machine learning algorithms are used to guess and organize incoming information. Based on the provided data, the algorithm will create a prediction about a pattern within it. An error function. This part of the algorithm assesses the model’s prediction. If there are examples that have already been investigated, an error function can create a comparison to evaluate the accuracy of the model. A model optimization process. If the model can adjust more easily to the data points in the training set, weights will adjust to decrease any discrepancy between the investigated example and the model’s prediction. This process repeats by the algorithm, which updates weights until the threshold of accuracy has been reached. There are different ways that these algorithms can be taught how to use data. Let’s look at the four main approaches to machine learning. Supervised learning. Using labeled datasets to train algorithms, this subcategory of machine learning follows instructions based on the information it is given. Machines are taught information from labeled datasets and authorized to guess outputs based on the provided instructions. The labeled dataset identifies input and output parameters that are already depicted, and the machine is taught with the input and corresponding output. Supervised learning is further divided into two broad categories: Classification. These algorithms respond to classification issues where the output component is categorical. Some examples of this are “yes or no” or “true or false.” An example of classification used in daily life is the filtering capabilities in email applications — choosing primary email box messages versus spam box messages. Some recognized classification algorithms include the logistic regression algorithm, support vector machine algorithm, and random forest algorithm.

Some examples of this are “yes or no” or “true or false.” An example of classification used in daily life is the filtering capabilities in email applications — choosing primary email box messages versus spam box messages. Some recognized classification algorithms include the logistic regression algorithm, support vector machine algorithm, and random forest algorithm. Regression. These algorithms manage regression issues where input and output components have a linear relationship. They foresee what the continuous output components will be. Examples of this would include a market trend analysis or a weather forecast. Some known regression algorithms include simple linear regression, lasso regression, and multivariate regression. Unsupervised learning. Unsupervised learning is used to analyze and cluster unlabeled datasets to find patterns without the need for human intervention. An unsupervised machine learning program will search for unlabeled data and find patterns that people aren’t looking for specifically. For example, an unsupervised machine learning program can identify primary client bases for an online store. Some known unsupervised learning approaches include nearest-neighbor mapping and self-organizing maps. The advantage of unsupervised learning is its ability to find similarities and differences between groupings without human intervention. This algorithm can group unsorted datasets by patterns, differences, and similarities. Unsupervised learning has a couple of sub-classifications as well: Clustering. This approach groups objects into clusters based on guidelines such as differences or similarities between them. An example of this is organizing customers by the items they purchase.
This approach groups objects into clusters based on guidelines such as differences or similarities between them. An example of this is organizing customers by the items they purchase. Association. This technique identifies standard relations between the variables in a large dataset. It decides the dependency of data items — and charts the associated variables. Semi-supervised learning. As its name suggests, this approach merges aspects of supervised and unsupervised machine learning. Semi-supervised learning reads labeled and unlabeled datasets to teach its algorithms. Combining both datasets eliminates the problems that come with using each of them on its own. In addition, the semi-supervised learning approach uses smaller labeled datasets to guide and manage larger unlabeled datasets. The datasets are usually grouped this way because unlabeled data requires less effort and is less expensive to acquire. Think about a student learning from a teacher. If a student receives information from a teacher, that would be considered supervised learning. When studying independently at home, the student is learning the information without supervision from the teacher. But if the student reviews the information with a teacher in class after learning it, this would be analogous to semi-supervised learning. An example of semi-supervised machine learning in daily life would be a webcam that identifies faces. Reinforcement learning. Reinforcement learning trains through reward systems. It uses trial and error to learn as it goes, with successful outcomes reinforcing recommendations. Reinforcement learning doesn’t have labeled data like the supervised learning technique. This type of machine learning works on a feedback process of actions and learns through experiences. Reinforcement learning takes the most appropriate action by learning from experiences and adjusting its actions accordingly. There are rewards for correct actions taken and penalties for wrong ones. This helps the system learn the correct actions to take. Reinforcement learning is popular in video games, robotics, and navigation. In video games, for example, the game defines the environment, and every movement made by the reinforcement learning agent determines the agent’s current state. The agent will receive feedback through rewards and penalizations, which affect the game score. There are two types of reinforcement learning algorithms: Positive reinforcement learning. This type of reinforcement learning involves the addition of a reinforcing aspect after a certain behavior is performed by the agent, making it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future.
This type of reinforcement learning involves the addition of a reinforcing aspect after a certain behavior is performed by the agent, making it more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future. Negative reinforcement learning. This type of reinforcement involves the removal of a negative condition to increase the chances of a particular behavior occurring again, or the strengthening of a particular behavior that will avoid a negative result. In some cases, such as in hospital settings, the improved decision-making produced by machine learning could even help to save someone’s life.
Machine learning uses. anchor machine-learning-uses
Many industries that work with large volumes of data see the value in using machine learning technology to boost productivity. Machine learning is not a replacement for humans but rather a tool that helps to extract information quickly and accurately so that humans can evaluate the recommended actions and make better, faster decisions. Let’s look at some of the industries that most commonly use machine learning. Healthcare. Machine learning is quickly expanding across the healthcare field. Wearable sensors and devices like smart watches or fitness trackers can help medical experts gain real-time insight into a patient’s health. A few benefits of machine learning in healthcare include: Analyzing data more quickly and efficiently. With the data presented and analyzed in real time, health red flags or patterns can be spotted easily to provide updated diagnoses or treatments more quickly.

Assessing patient health in real time for more personalized care. While drugs can treat symptoms, individual patients’ side effects may be different. Machine learning can study an individual’s genes to provide personalized care and targeted treatment for each patient.
While drugs can treat symptoms, individual patients’ side effects may be different. Machine learning can study an individual’s genes to provide personalized care and targeted treatment for each patient. Faster drug discovery. Machine learning can speed up the long and expensive process of creating a new drug. Some machine learning tools can analyze large datasets to help discover new potential drug treatment options. Finance. Banks and other financial institutions handle large amounts of sensitive information. Many companies have chosen to use machine learning technologies to provide a more secure and efficient service for their customers. Among the benefits of machine learning in finance are: New insights into data. New investment opportunities can be discovered quickly, and better insights can be provided to investors — for example, knowing the right time to trade.
New investment opportunities can be discovered quickly, and better insights can be provided to investors — for example, knowing the right time to trade. Better fraud protection. Security is crucial when managing financial information. Data mining spots users with high-risk profiles and helps cyber surveillance systems identify potentially fraudulent activities. Retail. The retail industry uses machine learning technology to create different experiences for each individual and provide additional customer assistance. Machine learning offers retailers the potential to expand their client base while cutting costs. A couple of key benefits are: Personalized shopping experiences. Many online retail sites use machine learning to offer suggestions for products based on recent purchases or bookmarks. Chatbots on a retail website can help answer a customer’s immediate questions, freeing up human representatives.

Machine learning can be a helpful tool for planning customer merchandise, putting together advertising campaigns, optimizing prices, and providing customer insights. Machine learning algorithms. Machine learning can be used to create recommendation engines and algorithms to personalize products and services for individuals. Companies like YouTube and Netflix depend on machine learning algorithms to recommend movies and shows to viewers based on their watch history. Retail and other websites can suggest products and services based on saved or purchased items. In addition, social media platforms use machine learning to make recommendations, with different posts showing up on each person’s feed based on posts they have liked or accounts they follow. Personalizing user experiences and gaining additional insights help organizations to better assist their customers. However, machine learning technology comes with its own challenges too.
Challenges for machine learning. anchor challenges-for-machine-learning
While machine learning has increased efficiency for many businesses in many industries, just like any other new technology, it has some drawbacks. In particular, there are ethical and cost concerns surrounding machine learning technology. Bias and discrimination. Unfortunately, the data used to train machine learning processes has the potential to reflect human bias. Algorithms that learn from datasets that have errors or exclude certain populations create inaccurate representations of the world. These errors fail to capture an accurate model of the world and can also be discriminatory. While most companies do their due diligence to eliminate potential bias in automation efforts, some consequences could emerge from using artificial intelligence. For example, Amazon used automation to simplify hiring and unintentionally discriminated against candidates for technical positions based on gender. The company then did away with the process. Seeking input and data from people of different backgrounds can reduce bias and discrimination. Privacy. Machine learning requires data, and with that comes concerns around privacy. When managing all types of data — especially personally identifiable information (PII) — data privacy and security are of utmost importance. More and more lawmakers around the world are taking action to protect personal data. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law established in 2016 to safeguard the personal data of people in the European Union and European Economic Area and ensure individuals had more control over their information. In the United States, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in 2018 to mandate that businesses notify consumers when their data is collected. Cost. Implementing machine learning technology into business functions can be costly. Data scientists — the people usually driving these projects — often require high salaries. And the software infrastructure that comes with establishing machine learning practices can also be expensive. Machine learning is implemented to search through large datasets created over time, and many resources are required to make the technology a useful part of business strategy. The time and resources expended are well worth the benefits for many businesses, but it’s important to remember that machine learning is an investment — and the system can become more complex and costly as it grows.

Building a Smarter Workforce: The Strategic Role of HR in AI Adoption
As AI becomes an integral part of the workplace, HR stands at a critical crossroads—not just as a user of technology, but as a strategic leader shaping its implementation and impact.

HR Alliance's May program featured a panel of AI experts sharing insights and discussing questions about AI use in today's workforce. I moderated the discussion among an esteemed panel of:In this blog we'll share the key insights of the discussion.HR manages a lot of data, creating opportunities to apply AI across the entire employee lifecycle from application and interviews to onboarding, daily work, and exiting. HR teams can use AI tools for:Even with all these great use cases it is important not to rush into AI use without fully understanding the technology and risks. HR data is incredibly sensitive and the work of HR directly impacts people's lives. Additionally, it is critical to viewNOT decision making. Humans need to be in the loop reviewing all AI outputs and using it in a way that makes sense for their organization –Panelists discussed the risks and opportunities associated with AI use in the modern workplace, providing advice for moving AI usage forward in any organization.AI is powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), algorithms trained on public data to predict outcomes. Because of AI's dependency on data it is critical to understand the origins of that data and examine it for any biases that may impact its outputs. There will always be bias in a model because it is based on data from humans who are inherently biased. This does not mean outputs are useless, it just requires diligence in checking sources and facts.LLMs can also “hallucinate,” meaning they generate incorrect, nonsensical, or irrelevant information, often presented with high confidence. This happens because LLMs generate responses based on patterns learned from vast datasets without the needed context to make accurate connections. Organizations can help provide context by supplementing public data with proprietary knowledge bases to ensure that results are tailored to their organization.Even if an output looks correct, it should be double checked as it may just be confirming your bias. You can use AI to locate its own bias, asking models to look for biases in their outputs or ask for the source of certain facts.Humans have a huge role in the success of AI by being able to ask it the right questions. Prompting is a key skill the modern workforce needs to develop. To improve outputs, start with concentrating on the prompt.Think of prompts as a dialogue. Start with a general question or request and then refine it for more precision. Get specific in your instruction, telling the tool the role you want it to have, “Imagine you are a training analyst and you have to present this data to a group of executives who are not familiar with the topic” or “I am an HR manager and I need to…..”Since conversational style works so well with prompts, consider dictating them into AI tools using voice mode or cut and paste a dictated phrase from another voice to text tool. Talk to AI like you would an assistant. Narrow down the data the model will use by directing it to “only look at trusted sources.”AI can also help guide you with prompts. You can ask a tool to write a prompt for what you are looking for. Then you can refine that language and present it back to the tool to get your answer. Also consider running your prompt against multiple models (Chat GPT, Claude, Co-pilot, etc) to see where answers differ. There are even tools that will do this for you.Technology moves fast, policy does not. Do not count on federal guidance on AI use. Instead, look to create your own guardrails that fit the needs of your organization. This is a great opportunity for HR to take a strategic role. The use of AI is a huge workforce change. HR can become a corporate leader in defining use and leading education of an AI-enabled workforce.AI is not replacing humans, it is empowering them. With that said, a person well-versed in AI use may replace another human who cannot/will not use AI. HR teams can help their workforce adapt to AI by developing AI academies. Courses are likely offered by existing training partners. Additional general cyber hygiene training also supports safe and ethical AI use.HR should work closely with the CIO and CTO to make sure AI training is consistent across the company, whether it is within the technology staff or the operational staff. How you use AI in your products should be consistent with how you use it internally. Finally, collaborate with security teams that may push back on AI use. Explain to them what you want to do with AI and have them suggest tools and processes that would work within corporate security policies and needs.As AI becomes an integral part of the workplace, HR stands at a critical crossroads—not just as a user of technology, but as a strategic leader shaping its implementation and impact. The only way to learn how it will make an impact is to begin using it. Find a use case with a defined goal. Look for tasks that you do repetitively that take 20 minutes or more and see how you could apply AI.To build a smarter workforce, HR professionals must deepen their understanding of how AI works, develop prompting and data literacy, and partner across departments to ensure consistent, secure, and human-centered use of these tools. The goal is not to replace people, but to empower them—enhancing decision-making, streamlining workflows, and enabling a more responsive and personalized employee experience.By taking the lead on AI strategy, training, and governance, HR can help shape a future where technology supports better outcomes for employees, organizations, and the broader world of work.Make sure you don't miss out on insights like this from future events.

According to Gallup, 66% of global workers report never using AI in their jobs, despite surging investment and leadership urgency.
|
Artificial intelligence has become the centerpiece of digital strategy conversations, yet most employees haven’t joined the movement. According to Gallup, 66% of global workers report never using AI in their jobs, despite surging investment and leadership urgency.
Gallup’s findings frame this as a leadership challenge: organizations are moving ahead technologically while failing to prepare their people behaviorally and culturally. The onus, in their view, rests heavily on employers to equip, train, and guide teams through the transition.
But others see it differently.
In a January 2025 article, The National CIO Review argued that the real turning point won’t come from the C-suite, it must come from the workforce. Titled Adoption or Obsolescence, the article warns that waiting for perfect training or direction is no longer an excuse. In a world where AI is advancing regardless, employees themselves must take ownership, seek out AI fluency, and lead their own evolution, or risk being replaced by the very tools they resist.
And in some organizations, waiting isn’t an option. Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, under CEO Nicolai Tangen, has taken a far more direct route: mandating AI adoption across the enterprise. Framing AI fluency as essential to remaining competitive, Tangen has seen early gains in productivity and issued a clear message to his workforce, adapt now, or risk falling behind.
His stance signals a future where AI isn’t just an innovation goal, but a professional expectation.
Why It Matters: AI won’t transform the workplace because of corporate strategies alone, it will succeed when employees choose to lead its adoption. While many organizations still struggle to provide clear direction, training, or cultural alignment, this gap creates an opportunity: employees can take the lead. Those who proactively explore, experiment, and apply AI, even without formal mandates, position themselves not just as adaptable, but as indispensable.
Most Workers Still Haven’t Started Using AI: Gallup’s 2025 report reveals a startling engagement gap: only 9% of employees use AI daily, and two-thirds have never used it at all. Despite major corporate investments in AI, usage remains low, often due to a lack of visibility, training, or contextual relevance. Gallup frames this not just as a tech rollout issue, but a failure of cultural alignment and leadership readiness.
A Clear AI Mandate: In a dramatic contrast to passive or optional adoption strategies, CEO Nicolai Tangen has made AI use mandatory across Norges Bank Investment Management. Early implementations have already led to a 15% productivity boost, validating the approach. Tangen’s directive reframes AI not as an innovation perk but as a core competency, something all professionals must now master to stay relevant.
Culture, Not Just Capability, Determines Success: Gallup underscores that AI implementation lives or dies based on culture. Many employees remain unsure of how AI improves their jobs, or fear that it might replace them. Without a strong narrative about AI as an enabler rather than a threat, organizations risk adoption failure. True traction will require not just software, but storytelling.
Managers Are the Missing Link, And Often Unprepared: Gallup’s data also reveals a foundational gap in management training: 44% of managers have received no formal development, yet they’re expected to lead AI transitions. These leaders play a vital role in modeling behavior, resolving resistance, and contextualizing technology. Equipping them with the tools and confidence to lead change is a non-negotiable if adoption is to scale.
An Opportunity Exists: In The National CIO Review’s January 2025 article Adoption or Obsolescence, the message was unmistakable: the burden of action belongs to employees. Citing Slack’s Workforce Index, the article warned that those who delay engagement with AI risk becoming replaceable. TNCR challenged workers to stop waiting for direction and start learning, highlighting that initiative, not instruction, will determine who thrives in an AI-driven economy.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, promising increased productivity and data-driven decisions. However, AI progress also has a dark side, specifically related to the potential impact on jobs and the work itself becoming less meaningful, less personal, and less human. This is where HR comes in—not just to address bias and fairness concerns but to shape how AI is adopted in ways that protect what people value most about work: connection, purpose, growth, and fairness.
This article explores how HR can lead to AI integration while preserving these human foundations of work.

Why HR needs to lead AI integration and capability efforts
What a human-centered workplace looks like in an AI world
Making human-centered work a strategic priority for HR
The hidden risks of the growing AI adoption
It is easy to get swept up in the excitement of AI’s promise. The technology is already reshaping how work gets done, from generative AI tools that write job descriptions to algorithms that screen resumes in seconds. However, while the benefits are significant, so are the risks, especially if we focus solely on efficiency and ignore the broader implications for people and jobs.
While concerns about bias and unethical AI use are valid, the conversation must include more systemic implications of how AI shapes our organizations and society.
Productivity gains may come at the cost of engagement
Globally, AI could displace up to 300 million jobs, with 47% of workers in the United States alone at risk of being affected by AI-driven automation. One in four CEOs anticipates job cuts due to generative AI in the near future, while 30% of workers are concerned about their jobs.
Despite AI’s potential to boost productivity, we must also remain mindful of its impact on the meaning people find in their work. Global employee engagement levels are already in decline, and if AI is implemented without intentional design, businesses risk creating future roles that lack challenge, purpose, and fulfillment. The result could be a workforce that is more efficient but less inspired and invested.

They’re part of the supply chain now. They’re not human; they don’t talk, they don’t call in sick, and they show up every day. I think that’s resonating with leadership. One company said, ‘We’ll make the $70,000 investment—this pays for itself in a year or two. We don’t have to pay benefits.”
Professor Marc Miller
Short-term decisions are backfiring
OrgVue’s research reveals that many CEOs are experiencing AI regret, second-guessing decisions made to replace human work with artificial intelligence. In the UK, two in five businesses (39%) reported making redundancies as part of their AI adoption efforts. Yet, over half of those organizations (55%) now admit that those decisions were misguided.
Many companies have faced unintended consequences rather than unlocking the anticipated gains in efficiency and innovation, such as internal confusion, increased employee turnover, and a decline in productivity. These outcomes highlight a critical lesson: AI decisions must be guided by long-term thinking and organizational foresight, not short-term cost-cutting or hype-driven expectations.
AI risks increasing inequality and anxiety
Beyond the headlines, we also need to understand that displacement due to AI is rarely evenly distributed. Younger workers, lower-income employees, and workers of colour are disproportionately worried about the future. The promise of AI has, for many, become entangled with feelings of insecurity, inequality, and exclusion.
This is especially important as AI adoption risks deepening existing inequalities. In contrast, in high-income countries, as many as 60 percent of jobs are considered automatable, compared to just 26 percent in low-income economies, leading to increased anxiety related to AI’s impact on skilled labor.
These disparities are not just societal concerns. They have direct implications for how organizations adopt and scale AI. If left unaddressed, they risk breaking down trust between employees and employers, leading to increased fear and anxiety towards AI and undermining the goals AI is meant to serve. This is where HR’s role becomes critical.
Equip your HR team to lead with empathy and impact Creating more human-centered workplaces in the age of AI takes more than good intentions — it requires HR teams with the right mindset, skills, and strategic tools. With AIHR for Business, your entire HR team can build capabilities in areas like change management, employee experience design, organizational culture and development, and more. Give your people the training they need to protect the human side of work and elevate HR’s impact across the business. GET STARTED
Why HR needs to lead AI integration and capability efforts
HR is uniquely positioned to play a critical role in how AI is adopted in organizations. No other discipline holds the mandate to align technology with people or the responsibility to balance organizational priorities with workforce wellbeing. As AI becomes embedded in how organizations hire, manage, develop, and engage people, HR must lead its adoption, not just for productivity gains but to preserve the human essence of work.
HR’s role is to drive the implementation of AI solutions that improve efficiency and service delivery while safeguarding employee experience, trust, and inclusion. The challenge lies in ensuring that innovation serves people, not the other way around.
“It’s the human aspects—the organization has to be human-centered. It has to be the kind of environment that makes someone want to join the company. And HR sits right at the center of that through recruiting and branding.” Professor Marc Miller
What a human-centered workplace looks like in an AI world
The term human-centered is often misunderstood as opposing performance or technology. However, a truly human-centered workplace does not reject AI; it integrates it thoughtfully to protect psychological safety, amplify purpose, and deepen connection.
HR is the custodian of this balance. It must set the tone for how AI is introduced, communicated, and experienced across the organization, balancing decisions to drive business results with human implications. A truly human-centered HR function uses AI to enhance, rather than replace, the human aspects of work. This involves applying technology thoughtfully to reduce friction, support better decision-making, and personalize employee experiences, all while preserving human connection.
For instance, AI can efficiently manage repetitive tasks such as scheduling interviews or analyzing employee feedback data. By automating these routine activities, HR professionals can focus on high-impact, high-touch efforts like coaching leaders, facilitating inclusion dialogues, and shaping experiences that build a sense of purpose and belonging.
However, when AI is applied without consideration for the human experience, the consequences can be counterproductive. Some organizations, for example, have experimented with using AI to replace managers fully in the performance review process. These initiatives often backfire. Employees resisted being evaluated solely by algorithms and strongly preferred maintaining a human relationship with their managers. They see AI as a tool that should assist managers by reducing bias and supporting better insights, not as a substitute for human judgment and connection.
Making human-centered work a strategic priority for HR
For HR to lead AI in a human-centered way, you need to embed five key principles within all HR activities. Each of these supports the broader goal: making sure technology supports people, not the other way around.
1. Build psychological safety into your AI strategy and address fear proactively
Across all AI efforts, HR should aim to create psychological safety for individuals. This means that employees feel that they have the space to voice their concerns, process disruption, and participate in shaping the future. HR can enable open dialogue and create forums for listening, allowing employees to express their fears and concerns.
Transparency and proactive communication also play a critical role in building psychological safety. Research shows that only 32 percent of employees feel their organization has been transparent about how AI is used. This lack of openness undermines trust and reinforces anxiety.
Employees want to understand how AI is being used, who benefits from it, and what safeguards are in place to ensure ethical, fair, and inclusive practices. That’s why HR should avoid vague or overly technical messaging in employee communication and involve teams early through pilots and feedback sessions.
Also, executive leaders should openly discuss their plans for adopting AI and influencing jobs in the future, as well as their plans for reskilling or transitioning employees.
2. Build an AI-ready workforce
With 120 million workers expected to retrain in the next few years, HR must lead the development of new learning pathways and career transitions. It’s essential to go beyond the intent and principle of reskilling and be more specific in terms of:
Which jobs will be in focus, and how the organization is segmenting and prioritizing workers who are currently in those jobs
What skills will be required in the future, and what paths to develop these skills entail
What the investments required to transition the workforce into these opportunities are, and if the organization is willing to invest these numbers into its workforce.
Upskilling and reskilling efforts haven’t always prioritized AI. According to a TalentLMS and Workable report, only 41% of companies include AI skills in their upskilling programs, and just 39% of employees say they use those skills in their roles. This gap highlights the need for a more holistic approach—one that goes beyond training to include opportunities for real-world application, alignment with business needs, and clear links to growth and recognition.
We discussed the future of the workforce and HR with Professor Marc Miller. See the full interview below:
3. Audit AI systems for fairness and inclusion
HR needs to partner with the Risk Management, Compliance, and Legal teams to conduct realistic audits of AI systems to evaluate them for fairness and inclusion. The results of these audits should show how AI initiatives are intentionally inclusive and highlight where AI initiatives might be unintentionally excluding specific groups.
For example, how AI is adopted can lead to exclusion and perceived unfairness. A global financial services firm adopted AI tools for client insights and productivity, which were rolled out first to senior consultants and head office teams, giving them a significant edge in performance and visibility. Meanwhile, regional teams and junior staff received delayed access and minimal support, limiting their ability to benefit from the same tools. This uneven implementation widened internal inequalities, creating a digital divide within the organization.
4. Redefine the value of work
AI can help eliminate low-value tasks. HR should use this opportunity to elevate roles focused on creativity, empathy, and collaboration, the parts of work that technology cannot replicate. HR should rethink work design and intentionally design for meaningful work that improves engagement, wellbeing, and job satisfaction.
Meaningful work also balances the individual’s need to be challenged and feel like they are contributing to work that adds value to the business objectives and strategies.
AI offers a great opportunity to completely reinvent work design, and HR needs to lead the efforts to ensure the responsible adoption and implementation of these principles.
5. Create guiding principles for ethical AI use
Establish internal policies that prioritize consent, transparency, and data dignity. Data dignity means treating people’s data with the same respect as the individuals themselves, ensuring they have visibility, control, and fair benefit from how their data is used.
These principles should guide all decisions around AI deployment in the workplace. While most AI policies today focus on basic compliance, HR has an opportunity to go further by helping shape policies that are grounded in human-centered thinking, not just minimum standards.
The future of HR and work is more human, not less
There is a growing narrative that the future of work is digital, fast-paced, and AI-powered. That may be true, but it is incomplete. The future of HR must also be deeply human.
As technology becomes more powerful, HR’s responsibility is not to abandon the human side of their work but to amplify it. This means using AI to unlock time, insights, and possibilities; not to replace judgment, empathy, and connection.
AI is an opportunity to elevate the human aspects of work, not replace them. HR is key in shaping authentic human-centered organizations, making sure that as AI is integrated, connection, thoughtful work design, and values like dignity and inclusion remain at the core.

C-suite leaders are 2.4x more likely to say employee readiness is a significant barrier to adopting AI. But employees are using generative AI three times more ...
|
The speed with which AI entered our lives is phenomenal.
It changed most people's perception of artificial intelligence. I remember seeing AI as a technology that simply delivers an output, such as a suggestion or action, based on the input. Like when a piece of software detects a customer’s frustration in their voice and flags them as a top priority.
Many companies did something similar while marketing themselves as AI-powered in the initial phase of AI adoption. But the real potential came with generative AI.
This might be a surprise, but long before ChatGPT and DALL·E became household names, some enterprises were already using AI in 2017.
This article covers AI adoption statistics from 2017 to 2025. It shows the yearly trends and how we entered the current AI hype.
AI adoption: Evolution of intelligent technology at a glance
Year Enterprise AI usage Consumer AI usage 2017 20% of firms used AI - 2019 58% of firms were reported to use AI - 2020 50% of firms used AI 4.2 billion voice assistants in use 2023 55% of firms adopted AI, and 33% used generative AI Open AI’s ChatGPT reached 100 million users 2024 72% of firms were reported to use AI 8.4 billion voice assistants (projected) 2025 92% of companies plan to invest in Gen AI over the next three years Elon Musk claimed that AI will become “vastly smarter” than humans in 2025. What are you expecting to see this year?
Sources: McKinsey: State of AI in 2024, McKinsey: AI in the Workplace, Statista, Reuters, and NY Times
AI adoption from 2017 to 2025: 9 years in review
Below are a few statistics that showcase how AI has evolved over the past nine years.
2017: 20% of enterprises adopted AI
In 2017, only 20% of survey respondents confirmed they adopted AI in at least one business area.
McKinsey’s State of AI in 2022 covered AI evolution between 2017 and 2022. The survey observed that even though AI adoption was 2.5x higher in 2022 than in 2017, it increased to 58% in 2019 but dropped to 50% in 2022.
Besides growth, here are a few additional events that happened around AI adoption in 2017:
The number of AI papers published each year increased nine times compared to the 1996 data.
The number of active US startups developing AI systems increased 14 times since 2000. In 2017, around 600 startups developed AI systems. The annual VC investment increased by 6x in the same period.
Six times increase in AI vibrancy was observed in 2017 compared to 2000 data. AI vibrancy is the measure of the liveliness of AI as a field. Source: Stanford
Job openings that needed AI skills in the US increased by 4.5x since 2013.
Error rates in image labeling fell from 28.5% in 2010 to 2.5% in 2017.
An AI system trained on a dataset of 129,450 clinical images of 2,032 diseases could classify skin cancer at a level of competence comparable to that of a dermatologist.
In 2017, the proportion of corporate AI papers in the U.S. was 6.6x that of corporate AI papers in China.
2018: AI Adoption grew by more than 100%.
The McKinsey report estimated that AI adoption was 47% in 2018, compared to only 20% in 2017. This is more than double the adoption rate in 2017, showing more than a 100% increase in adoption.
On the academic side, AI was a trending topic. The 2018 Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) conference was held in February in New Orleans, Louisiana. The conference observed that 70% of papers submitted were affiliated with the U.S or China. However, the number of papers accepted was remarkably even, 268 and 265, respectively.
Below are some more interesting events that happened around AI adoption in 2018.
The U.S.-affiliated papers had an acceptance rate of 29% vs. China-affiliated research papers at 21%.
Attendance at the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2018 grew 20x since 2012. The conference focused on deep reinforcement learning within AI.
71% of the applicant pool for AI jobs in the U.S. was men. Workshops like women in machine learning (WiML) and AI4All encouraged participation from other underrepresented groups. Source: Stanford
WiML alone saw 750+ women participate — a 600% increase from 2014.
Active AI startups in the U.S. increased 113% between 2015 and 2018.
Articles on AI became 1.5x more positive from 2016 to 2018
Based on these statistics, AI adoption trended upward in 2018. Companies like Amazon and Alphabet invested $16.1B and $13.9B in research and development related to AI, respectively.
2019: AI adoption in organizations reached 58%
Considering the ongoing development and research in AI, 2019 showed an increase in AI’s adoption rate. Besides this, many events happened in the AI space during this period, including:
The share of AI-related job postings in the U.S. rose from 0.26% in 2010 to 1.32% by October 2019. Machine learning topped the charts and made up 0.51% of all job listings.
Washington had the highest share of AI job postings at 1.4%, followed by California and Massachusetts at 1.3%, New York at 1.2%, DC at 1.1%, and Virginia at 1%.
58% of large companies used AI in at least one area in 2019. However, only 19% addressed algorithm explainability risks, and a mere 13% worked to reduce AI bias and promote fairness. Source: Stanford
In 2019, private global investment in AI crossed $70 billion.
Startups raised over $37 billion, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) were valued at $34 billion. IPOs brought in $5 billion, and minority stakes attracted around $2 billion.
From mid-2018 to mid-2019, over 3,600 global news articles explored AI-related topics. They were primarily focused on fairness, interpretability, and explainability.
2020: AI adoption in large enterprises fell to 50%
COVID-19 clearly showed its impact on AI adoption in 2020. With priorities shifting and budgets tightening, the adoption rate fell to 50% in 2020. Still, not everything slowed down.
Investment in AI for drug design and cancer research hit $13.8 billion in 2020, 4.5x higher than in 2019. This was the top-funded AI sector globally.
In 2020, technologies like facial recognition, video analytics, and voice ID became more accurate, affordable, and widespread. It drove broader surveillance capabilities worldwide.
Although many groups produced ethical frameworks and principles, a consistent way to measure or evaluate AI development was absent.
In 2020, around 4.2 billion digital voice assistants were predicted to be used worldwide.
The U.S. posted 8.2% fewer AI jobs in 2020 than in 2019. The jobs dropped from 325,724 to 300,999.
Although overall adoption was comparatively slower, some sectors, like healthcare, observed high investment in AI-related R&D.
2021: AI adoption climbed back to 56% in organizations
Some survey respondents suggested their AI investments didn’t increase despite the global COVID-19 pandemic. Participation in in-person events moved to an online medium instead. Here’s a snapshot of a few interesting events in the AI space in 2021.
AI journal publications grew by 34.5% from 2019 to the start of 2021.
Major AI conferences shifted online due to COVID-19. As a result, the attendance doubled across nine major events.
Generative AI made substantial progress. AI was able to create realistic text, audio, and images.
25% of survey respondents reported that at least 5% of their organizations’ earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were attributable to AI in 2021. Source: McKinsey
AI came closer to human performance in language tasks. On basic reading benchmarks (e.g., SuperGLUE), AI was able to beat humans by 1–5%. For complex tasks like abductive natural language inference (aNLI), the human-AI performance gap shrank from nine points in 2019 to just one in 2021.
Robotic arms became more affordable. The median price dropped by 46.2% in five years, from $42,000 in 2017 to $22,600 in 2021. This made robotics research more accessible.
AI investment surged to $93.5B in 2021, more than double 2020 levels.
Generative AI rose in 2021, and many big organizations increased their investments. Private investment in AI reached approximately $93.5 billion in 2021, more than twice the amount invested in 2020. However, the number of newly funded AI startups declined from 1,051 in 2019 to 762 in 2020 and further down to 746 in 2021.
2022: AI adoption plateaued at 50%
After bouncing back, enterprise AI adoption dipped again to 50% in 2022, indicating that the industry had reached a plateau. However, this trend was similar to other technologies in the early years of their adoption.
Michael Chui, Partner at McKinsey Global Institute, said, “We might be seeing the reality sinking in at some organizations of the level of organizational change it takes to embed this technology successfully.”
Companies that thought implementing AI would be a quick exercise were discouraged, but those that grew their AI muscle slowly incorporated more AI capabilities.
Here’s an overview of everything that influenced AI adoption in some way in 2022:
The U.S.–China collaboration in AI research saw the most cross-country activity from 2010 to 2021. It increased by 5x over the decade despite rising geopolitical tensions.
Companies used more AI tools. On average, 3.8 different AI capabilities in 2022, up from 1.9 in 2018.
The most common use of AI remained the same for four years: companies leveraged AI to optimize service operations.
40% of companies using AI spent more than 5% of their digital budget five years ago. In 2022, over half of them spent that much or more. Source: McKinsey
54% of the world’s large language and multimodal models in 2022 came from U.S. institutions.
In 2022, the industry dominated AI development. Industry produced 32 major models, compared to just three from academia.
The year 2022 saw the public launch of generative tools like DALL·E 2, Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT, and Make-A-Video.
For the first time in a decade, global AI private investment declined 26.7%, from $93.5B in 2021 to $91.9B in 2022. Still, AI funding in 2022 was 18x higher than in 2013.
37 countries passed AI laws in 2022. This number increased from 1 company in 2016.
The U.S. remained the global leader in AI investment, and attracted $47.4B in 2022, 3.5 times more than China.
Although investment decreased and adoption plateaued, AI models, laws, policies, and capabilities rose in 2022. This was likely when the organization gained maturity in implementing AI, leading the industry toward the AI spring.
2023: AI adoption grew to 55%
In 2023, AI adoption in organizations increased to 55%, while 33% of survey respondents confirmed that their firm used generative AI in some way.
In 2023, industry-led AI research released 51 key machine learning models, while academia contributed only 15. Collaborations between industry and academia hit a record with 21 joint models.
AI organizations released 149 foundation models in 2023 — more than double the number in 2022. Nearly 66% of these models were open-source, up from 44.4% in 2022.
U.S.-based institutions produced 61 top AI models in 2023, more than the EU (21) and China (15) combined.
China led the world in AI patent origin with 61.1% in 2022. The U.S. followed with 20.9%, down from 54.1% in 2010.
Generative AI investment skyrocketed to $25.2B in 2023, 8x more than in 2022.
67% of companies were expected to increase their AI investments over the next three years. Source: McKinsey
The U.S. AI investment hit $67.2B in 2023, nearly nine times more than China. China and EU investments fell sharply.
The U.S. AI regulations grew by 25 in 2023, up from just one in 2016.
21 U.S. agencies regulated AI in 2023, up from 17 in 2022.
Investments in generative AI increased in 2023, creating the initial setup that fueled its rise in 2024 and 2025. Let’s look at what exactly happened in 2024.
2024: 72% of organizations used AI
From 50% adoption in 2022, AI adoption surged to between 72% and 78% in 2024, depending on which study you trust more.
Personally, I feel the adoption rate is a little higher than what’s been reported. Stanford’s 2025 AI Index reported, “78% of organizations used AI in 2024.” Either way, it’s clear that the AI adoption trended upward. McKinsey and Stanford’s data reflected this.
Here are a few relevant statistics to this adoption trend:
In 2024, the industry built almost 90% of the top AI models, up from 60% in 2023. Academia led in the most highly cited AI papers.
The U.S. produced 40 top AI models in 2024, ahead of China (15) and Europe (3)
Video generation from text improved in 2024. New tools like OpenAI’s SORA and DeepMind’s Veo 2 create better video content.
AI incident reports hit a record with 233 cases in 2024, up 56% from 2023.
75% of professionals used generative AI tools for their daily tasks: Source: G2
8 out of 10 professionals prioritized AI capabilities when selecting software.
40% of companies relied on automation to streamline and improve data entry.
83% of organizations that purchased an AI solution saw a positive ROI.
75% of businesses implemented two to five AI features, suggesting a measured yet committed approach. Meanwhile, 17% have adopted six to eight features across their operations.
Only 2% of organizations reported quick AI adoption in IT. However, marketing emerged as the fastest department to adopt AI, according ot 53% of organizations.
Only 26% of companies turned AI pilots into real business value. Moreover, only 4% were at the cutting edge of AI maturity.
62% of AI value came from core business areas like operations, sales, and R&D.
Only 10% of AI implementation challenges came from AI algorithms, yet many companies wrongly overfocused here. 70% of obstacles were people- and process-related.
BCG reported that without decisive action, 75% of companies risked falling behind in the AI race.
Mentions of AI in global legislative records rose 21% in 2024.
The U.S. federal agencies introduced 59 AI regulations in 2024, up from 25 in 2023.
AI optimism rose globally, from 52% in 2022 to 55% in 2024.
60% of people believed AI would change their job; only 36% feared it would replace them.
AI adoption reached an all-time high, with a rate between 72% and 78% globally. With continued investment, this rate is expected to rise even further in 2025.
2025: Entering the intelligent age
McKinsey research suggests that almost all companies are investing in AI, but only 1% believe they’re at maturity. The challenge is not employees but leaders who are not moving fast. While companies are looking forward to the long-term gains of AI, 92% are planning to increase their investment in the next three years.
Below is an overview of what’s latest and yet to come in the AI space in 2025.
69% of C-suite companies began investing in generative AI over a year ago. Despite that, only 47% say they are making slow progress in building Gen AI tools.
70% of employees believe that Gen AI will change 30% or more of their work. Source: McKinsey
C-suite leaders are 2.4x more likely to say employee readiness is a significant barrier to adopting AI. But employees are using generative AI three times more than their leaders think.
48% of employees rank training as the most crucial factor for gen AI adoption.
These stats and other ongoing trends suggest that AI isn’t plateauing anymore; it’s on the rise from an innovation, implementation, and adoption perspective.
An MIT Technology Review article suggests that large language models (LLMs) will be able to “reason.” It talks about 2023 being the age of generative images and predicts 2025 to be the age of generative virtual playgrounds.
Year-by-year growth trends in AI adoption To highlight the trends, here is a brief year-by-year summary of notable AI adoption milestones: AI was mostly in R&D (2010 to 2016). Early consumer products like Apple’s Siri (2011) and Amazon Alexa (2014) introduced AI to the public, but enterprise use was rare. No precise global adoption surveys exist for this period.

Work is changing. Hybrid models and remote teams are now the norm, and employees expect seamless, personalized, timely communications that help them feel connected, supported, and valued—wherever they are. The enterprises that succeed in the artificial intelligence (AI) era will be the ones who treat employee experience (EX) as a strategic initiative, not just an HR project.
This blog post explores trends shaping the employee experience in the AI era, steps to adapt the future of employee experience for AI, and how personalization at scale will define enterprise success:
Key Insights

The employee experience is now digital
The employee experience is made up of every interaction an employee has with your workplace. This includes everything from how employees collaborate with coworkers to how they interact with leadership to how they navigate workplace tools and access information. Today, many of these touchpoints are digital—and increasingly, they’ve got an AI bent, with more companies building AI into every point of EX.
The problem? Most digital workplace tools aren’t working equally for everyone.
Desk-based vs deskless employee experiences
Even at the same organization, desk-based and deskless employees have very different experiences.
For their part, desk-based employees are often inundated with notifications from multiple platforms, requiring constant context-switching and manual searches for critical updates. This experience is frustrating and distracting, ultimately driving higher productivity.
Deskless employees, on the other hand, are often entirely left out of communications—despite the fact that they make up 80% of the global workforce. Consider: 69% of organizations still rely primarily on email to reach employees, but 54% of deskless workers have only limited email access. As a result, they often miss critical information and end up feeling disconnected from their organization.
This digital divide creates a fragmented employee experience, where large portions of the workforce are left out of important communications. It’s not only an inefficient way of engaging employees; it’s unsustainable.
Understanding employee experience vs employee engagement vs employee journey
These terms are often used interchangeably, but their distinct meanings matter, especially when designing modern employee experience strategies.
Employee experience: all interactions an employee has with an organization—from first interview to exit interview
all interactions an employee has with an organization—from first interview to exit interview Employee engagement: how emotionally invested, committed, and satisfied employees are with their work and their organization
how emotionally invested, committed, and satisfied employees are with their work and their organization Employee journey: the map of key touchpoints and milestones an employee experiences throughout their tenure at an organization
Each of these elements reinforces the others. A positive employee journey improves the experience, which fuels stronger engagement. Down the line, higher engagement drives better retention, higher productivity, and more business success.
In the AI era, organizations face challenges to support the employee experience at scale across a dispersed workforce with diverse needs, roles, and expectations.
5 employee experience trends in the AI era
To create a positive employee experience—and reap the improved performance, retention, and engagement that comes with it—organizations need to keep up with how AI is changing the workplace.
By 2026, nearly 80% of enterprises are expected to adopt AI. This rapid transformation will fundamentally shift the way we work, driving new demand for employee experiences that are more personalized, data-informed, and designed to suit hybrid work models.
Here’s a look at five trends shaping the future of employee experience:
AI is reshaping work, roles, and required skills
AI is no longer just for the early adopters—it’s here to stay and will significantly shape the way we work, redefining roles and requiring organizations to rapidly upskill and retrain talent to keep pace.
According to the International Monetary Fund, AI adoption will impact 60% of jobs in advanced economies, changing 40% of workers’ core skills in the process. Specifically, deskless workers will face an upheaval: Analysts predict 75% of deskless workers will need significant upskilling to remain competitive in the new AI workplace.
Hybrid work and flexibility are here to stay—but so is fragmentation
Return-to-work mandates may dominate recent headlines, but remote work isn’t out of the picture. Ninety-two percent of workers operate in a mixed work environment made up of desk-based, hybrid, and deskless roles.
In the modern workplace, employees overwhelmingly demand a flexible experience; according to a Deloitte report surveying 1,000 U.S. professionals, 94% want work flexibility for a better work-life balance and mental health benefits. While hybrid work can offer this level of flexibility, there’s a trade-off: fragmentation. With a mix of physical and digital touchpoints, it’s easy for data to get siloed. In fact, fragmentation costs organizations 20–30% in lost productivity.
AI is further accelerating this flexibility-first trend by enabling more remote work and digital collaboration models, making flexible work more viable—but almost more complex to coordinate.
Employee well-being moves from perk to performance strategy
Employee well-being has recently taken center stage as a strategic priority—and for good reason. According to the World Health Organization, depression and anxiety cost the global economy $1 trillion each year in lost productivity.
Burnout and work-related stress are rising across the board:
77% of workers report experiencing work-related stress
48% struggle with burnout
94% of frontline workers are more likely to face mental health stress than their desk-based peers
While AI tools can definitely help employees by taking work off their plate, AI-driven transformation is increasing both the pace and pressure of work, prompting organizations to prioritize employee well being as a core business imperative.
Listening at scale is the new leadership advantage
As AI continues to drive change in the workplace, employees seek more than just top-down communication. They want to feel heard—and this must go beyond basic opinion polls or impersonal annual surveys. Above all, they want to know their feedback isn’t just collected but acted on.
Plus, with AI driving faster decision-making and more dynamic environments, listening and employee feedback has to happen in real time to be effective.
Unfortunately, most companies are still far off the mark:
24% of employees say poor communication leaves them disconnected from company culture
52% rate their organization as only “somewhat effective” at communicating critical updates; 20% rate it as “ineffective” or “entirely lacking”
In the AI era, employee listening must transform from simple, survey-based processes to a core cultural practice that shapes every part of the employee experience.
Personalization is key to relevance and reach
In their personal lives, employees are increasingly accustomed to hyper-personalization, e.g., smart shopping recommendations, tailored newsfeeds, and curated playlists. Now, AI is pushing them to expect the same level of personalized communication at work, too.
Specifically, employees seek messages tailored to their role, location, and preferred communication channels. In other words, generalized emails pushed out to the entire organization no longer cut it. In fact, 53% of employees say messages they receive from their organization are only “somewhat relevant” to their role; 21% say they’re “completely irrelevant.”
Moving forward, organizations need to deliver tailored, personalized messages that reflect each employee’s role, location, and needs to create an all-around more meaningful employee experience.
7 steps to adapt the employee experience to the AI era
New technologies, shifting work models, and rising employee expectations mean organizations can no longer rely on outdated employee experience strategies if they want to remain competitive in the AI era. To keep up, you need an employee experience strategy that’s scalable, people-first, and powered by intelligent communication.
Follow these 7 steps to adapt your employee experience for the AI era:
1. Unite modern, disparate workforces
Today’s employees work across a complex ecosystem of digital and physical touchpoints. This ecosystem, however, is often fragmented, causing employees to waste time switching between apps, searching for information, and managing disconnected workflows. In fact, the average employee wastes 9.3 hours every week just looking for the information they need to do their jobs.
To revamp the entire employee experience for the AI era, organizations must invest in an intelligent communication platform that can streamline access, reduce friction, and create smoother, more intuitive work processes that support employees and their new modern way of working in this era.
2. Support hybrid work with an intelligent communication platform
Despite the fact that the modern workplace has evolved from an in-office, 9-to-5 structure to a global, dynamic, and hybrid experience, most organizations haven’t quite caught up.
While video conferencing and productivity tools (like Slack) can facilitate interactions, they lack the capabilities to connect employees with personalized, role-relevant communication that meets them where they are in their preferred channel. Plus, most communication tools are only designed to support desk-based employees, neglecting deskless and frontline workers—82% of whom report missing critical information needed to do their jobs.
To adapt, organizations must invest in an intelligent communication platform that can support every employee with personalized, role-specific, context-aware communications—whether they’re sitting behind a desk, working from home, or on the front lines.
3. Automate the employee journey
The employee journey is made up of many interconnected touchpoints—from a candidate’s first interview to performance reviews and eventual offboarding. Every touchpoint plays an important role in shaping employee perception, performance, and engagement.
In the AI era, where speed, scale, and personalization are increasingly the norm, organizations should turn to automation to help orchestrate the employee journey and meet rising expectations for a more personalized employee experience. With journey automation, you can transform one-size-fits-all messaging into personalized communications that move each employee from awareness to action with speed and precision. For example, you can:
Automatically trigger onboarding messages based on role
Send manager nudges during milestones
Deliver personalized learning at key moments
Automating the employee journey helps you reach the right employee at the right moment with engaging content that improves clarity, drives action, and supports employees at every journey stage.
4. Take a people-centric approach
In the AI era, it’s more important than ever to lead with a human touch and a people-centric approach. Yet, too many tools are still built for IT or operations—not the people who use them. Today, enterprise EX technology should revolve around the employee, putting their needs front and center to drive engagement and create a more positive employee experience.
Specifically, leading EX strategies with a people-centric approach means:
Delivering relevant information at the right time, in the right place, to the right person
Personalizing communication based on context, role, and delivery preferences
Recognizing and rewarding contributions to increase engagement
For example, organizations can implement employee recognition programs to celebrate achievements. In the AI era, where speed and change are top of mind, it’s important to remember new technology is here to support people and empower them to do their best work.
5. Enable continuous feedback through direct channels
For the vast majority of employees, getting real-time performance feedback is a key part of their employee experience—and their performance. According to Gallup, 80% of employees who receive meaningful feedback are “fully engaged” in their work.
In an AI-focused world, waiting on annual or even quarterly performance reviews is no longer enough to give employees sufficient feedback. Today’s employees want real-time ways to receive communication, share input, and feel heard.
To adapt, organizations must build direct, two-way communication channels that keep pace with rapid workplace changes. This means investing in an intelligent communication platform that can support direct communication channels and feedback mechanisms between leadership and employees, whether they’re in office, remote, hybrid, or deskless.
By allowing for open, real-time dialogue, organizations can foster a culture of trust and increase engagement: 33% say effective communication improves engagement, and 29% say it increases participation in company initiatives.
6. Support continuous learning and professional development
As AI reshapes job roles and redefines in-demand skills, the future of employee experience must also evolve to support employees with continuous learning and professional development that equip them for rapid AI-driven change. Rather than static training modules, employees now need continuous development built into their everyday experiences with a focus on purpose and long-term growth.
In fact, professional development and career growth support are now key components of employee satisfaction and retention. Without effective guidance, you risk turnover costs rising to 1.5-2X annual salary per departure.
To accommodate workforce transformation and adapt the employee experience to new AI demands, organizations should invest in enterprise EX technology that supports continuous training, automated workflows, and personalized journeys to support employees seeking professional growth.
7. Leverage data to continuously improve the experience
According to LinkedIn’s Work Change report, 70% of executives say “the pace of change at work is accelerating,” and almost two-thirds of employees report “feeling overwhelmed by how quickly their jobs are changing.” To support employees through this shift, organizations need to adapt the employee experience. Data can help you do it.
With an intelligent communication platform that aggregates and analyzes employee behavioral data, you can glean key insights on communication engagement to help you map out interventions to improve your communication processes, enhance each employee’s experience, and keep employees engaged.
For example, with an intelligent communication platform, you can:
Aggregate engagement data across teams, channels, and content
Identify trends in communication effectiveness, message fatigue, and behavioral drop-off
Continuously adjust campaigns, formats, and timing based on employee interaction
In an AI-driven workplace, EX technology must incorporate data to continuously adjust and improve the employee experience.
Belonging drives engagement “We are focused on making employees feel like they belong, and that they are a part of the mission. Being able to actually see who is engaging with what content, who are our most engaged employees, is big.” Learn more
In the AI era, personalization at scale will define enterprise success
In the AI era, improving the employee experience is about more than simply tweaking internal communications. It requires building the neural network to power your organization’s future.
The heart of that power lies in personalized communication at scale. Here’s why:
1. It delivers the right information to the right people at the right time
Personalization transforms message delivery by ensuring employees only receive relevant, right-time, right-channel communication.
Instead of overwhelming employees with irrelevant updates, a personalized communication strategy ensures employees are better informed and less distracted, reducing friction, improving focus, and driving stronger day-to-day performance.
Plus, personalized communications don’t just eliminate noise and irrelevance; they help you create an employee experience that feels personal and purposeful. In a Firstup survey, 61% of respondents believe timely, relevant updates would improve their performance.
2. It addresses employees’ individual needs
No matter the industry, quantitatively more communication is always less effective than timely, relevant, personalized communication.
With an intelligent communication platform that supports at-scale personalization, organizations can tailor the employee experience to diverse, distributed workforces, delivering right-time, right-channel messages to each employee to help them feel supported, stay engaged, and get the information they need to do their best work. Ultimately, by meeting individual employee needs, organizations can altogether improve the employee experience and drive greater overall business success.
3. It makes employees feel valued, supported, and motivated
Personalization strengthens emotional connection. When employees receive relevant, role-specific communication tailored to their role, location, and preferences, they feel valued, supported, and motivated to perform their best. In fact, 27% say effective communication directly boosts their motivation. Conversely, 24% say poor communication leaves them feeling disconnected from company culture.
Down the line, personalized communication that improves relevance leads to higher engagement, lower attrition, and stronger performance for the entire organization.
4. It gives your organization a competitive advantage
Personalization enhances every stage of the employee experience by aligning communication with employees’ specific needs and making it more human, more useful, and more actionable. The result? Better performance across teams. In fact, organizations that modernize their communication report:
60% boost in employee confidence
30% increase in employee-to-employee connection
23% increase in profitability
Bottom line, when employees gain confidence and feel valued and supported, productivity improves and the entire enterprise operates more efficiently.
Conclusion:
In the AI era, the organizations that will come out on top are those that learn how to adapt the entire employee experience for a more dynamic, distributed, and diverse workplace. That means integrating intelligent technology with a people-first approach to deliver timely, personalized, and relevant messages that meet every employee where they are.

US Labor, Employment, and Workplace Safety Alert
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 policies, and detailed impact assessments before using AI-driven hiring tools. It aims to prevent algorithmic bias across all business sectors.
AB 1221 and AB 1331–Workplace Surveillance Limits
Both AB 1221 and AB 1331 target electronic monitoring and surveillance technologies in the workplace. AB 1221 would obligate employers to provide 30 days’ notice to employees who will be monitored by workplace surveillance tools. These tools include facial, gait, or emotion recognition technology, all of which typically rely on AI algorithms. AB 1221 also describes procedures and requirements for any analyzing vendor’s storage and usage of data collected by such a tool. AB 1331 more broadly restricts employers’ use of tracking tools—from video/audio recording and keystroke monitoring to GPS and biometric trackers—particularly during off-duty hours or in private areas.
Agency and Regulatory Guidance
CRD–Final Regulations on Automated Decision Systems
On 21 March 2025, California’s Civil Rights Council (part of the Civil Rights Department (CRD)) adopted final regulations titled “Employment Regulations Regarding Automated-Decision Systems.” These rules, which could take effect as early as 1 July 2025, once approved by the Office of Administrative Law, explicitly apply existing anti-discrimination law (the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)) to AI tools.
Key requirements in the new CRD regulations include:
Bias Testing and Record-Keeping
Employers using automated tools may bear a higher burden to demonstrate they have tested for and mitigated bias. A lack of evidence of such efforts can be held against the employer. Employers must also retain records of their AI-driven decisions and data (e.g., job applications, ADS data) for at least four years.
Third-Party Liability
The definition of “employer’s agent” under FEHA now explicitly encompasses third-party AI vendors or software providers if they perform functions on behalf of the employer. This means an AI vendor’s actions (screening or ranking applicants, for example) can legally be attributed to the employer—a critical point aligning with recent caselaw (see Mobley lawsuit below).
Job-Related Criteria
If an employer uses AI to screen candidates, the criteria must be job-related and consistent with business necessity, and no less-discriminatory alternative can exist. This mirrors disparate-impact legal tests, applied now to algorithms.
Broad Coverage of Tools
The regulations define “Automated-Decision System” expansively to include any computational process that assists or replaces human decision-making about employment benefits, which covers resume-scanning software, video interview analytics, predictive performance tools, etc.
Once in effect, California will be among the first jurisdictions with detailed rules governing AI in hiring and employment. The CRD’s move signals that using AI is not a legal shield and that employers remain responsible for outcomes and must ensure their AI tools are fair and compliant.
AI Litigation
Mobley v. Workday, Inc., currently pending in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, illustrates the litigation risks of using AI in hiring. In Mobley, a job applicant alleged that Workday’s AI-driven recruitment screening tools disproportionately rejected older, Black, and disabled applicants, including himself, in violation of anti-discrimination laws. In late 2024, Judge Rita Lin allowed the lawsuit to proceed, finding the plaintiff stated a plausible disparate impact claim and that Workday could potentially be held liable as an “agent” of its client employers. This ruling suggests that an AI vendor might be directly liable for discrimination if its algorithm, acting as a delegated hiring function, unlawfully screens out protected groups.
On 6 February 2025, the plaintiff moved to expand the lawsuit into a nationwide class action on behalf of millions of job seekers over age 40 who applied through Workday’s systems since 2020 and were never hired. The amended complaint added several additional named plaintiffs (all over 40) who claim that after collectively submitting thousands of applications via Workday-powered hiring portals, they were rejected—sometimes within minutes and at odd hours, suggestive of automated processing. They argue that a class of older applicants were uniformly impacted by the same algorithmic practices. On 16 May 2025, Judge Lin preliminarily certified a nationwide class of over-40 applicants under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, a ruling that highlights the expansive exposure these tools could create if applied unlawfully. Mobley marks one of the first major legal tests of algorithmic bias in employment and remains the nation’s most high-profile challenge of AI-driven employment decisions.
Conclusion
California is moving toward a comprehensive framework where automated hiring and management tools are held to the same standards as human decision-makers. Employers in California should closely track these developments: pending bills could soon impose new duties (notice, audits, bias mitigation) if enacted, and the CRD’s regulations will make algorithmic bias expressly unlawful under FEHA. Meanwhile, real-world litigation is already underway, warning that both employers and AI vendors can be held accountable when technology produces discriminatory outcomes.
The tone of regulatory guidance is clear that embracing innovation must not sacrifice fairness and compliance. Legal professionals, human resources leaders, and in-house counsel should proactively assess any AI tools used in recruitment or workforce management. This includes consulting the new CRD rules, conducting bias audits, and ensuring there is a “human in the loop” for important decisions. California’s 2025 developments signal that the intersection of AI and employment law will only grow in importance, with the state continuing to refine how centuries-old workplace protections apply to cutting-edge technology.

The ‘productivity-pay gap’ has been widening for decades.
This disparity between rising output and sluggish wages may only grow further with the spreading use of artificial intelligence.
‘Increasing inequality’ was among the AI-related risks flagged in the World Economic Forum’s most recent Chief Economists Outlook
But thinking big picture could create and nurture new areas of (well paid) human expertise.
If you want to know whether AI will diminish what people are paid relative to what they produce in a typical workday, you can ask AI.
Yes, ChatGPT recently informed me in typically bloodless prose, “this outcome is highly likely.” But it’s also, so I was told, “not inevitable.”
The productivity-pay gap has been a nagging concern for decades. It often takes a backseat to worries about so-so productivity gains, but even those gains appear to have outpaced wages. Increased automation played a role in this. Now, the advent of ubiquitous AI means it won’t just be assembly-line workers marginalized by high-tech shortcuts, but also the university-educated masses toiling at what’s typically called knowledge work.
That segment of the global workforce emerged from the last big wave of technology disruption in a relatively privileged position. This time, it may incur a segmentation of its own. People don’t generally list "traditional managerial technostructure" on their LinkedIn profile, but it includes a lot of white-collar workers angling to not only remain employed, but earning a wage that rises in line with the value they generate.
A recent field study of software developers newly equipped with AI assistants drew a bright line under the matter at hand; the least-experienced and lesser-paid were able to deliver the biggest relative productivity gains, suggesting that their more experienced colleagues suddenly lack justification for earning higher wages.
At a time of dwindling financial security for middle classes, this could be an issue.
Seizing the material opportunities presented by change instead of tiptoeing around it may not be as straightforward as it sounds, at least for the average cubicle dweller. But research on AI-induced job insecurity suggests it can be softened by instilling self-efficacy; a belief that people can control their professional fate may lead to more active augmentation, and less ceding ground.
Equipping as many as possible to manage their own “teams” of AI tools would be ideal. That would mean ensuring that as many as possible have access.
Nearly half of the chief economists surveyed for the Forum’s latest Chief Economists Outlook think “worker augmentation” will be one of AI’s biggest benefits for economic growth, but “increasing inequality” ranked among their biggest assessed risks. Three out of four said government spending on “upskilling and redeployment” should be a priority.
Produce more with AI, earn more… right?
According to standard economic theory, productivity and pay should basically rise in tandem (Karl Marx had some things to say about that). Beginning in the 1970s, wages began decoupling from productivity in the US and Europe. Japan followed with an even more dramatic disconnect in the ensuing decade.
The cited causes include a concentration of pay raises among people in more senior positions, a general shift of income away from workers to shareholders, and a greater tolerance for unemployment if it means keeping a lid on inflation. Meanwhile automation, while it’s created a lot of winners, also inevitably results in losers.
The size of the productivity-pay gap we’re left with can vary depending on how it’s measured.
If you exclude the people in supervisory roles who tend to receive what pay increases are available, and compare the bulk of workers left over in the private sector to overall productivity, the gap is yawning. A more closely matched comparison results in something less glaring. Proponents of both approaches agree on one thing: productivity needs to accelerate, and quickly.
There’s some debate about when AI will help with this in a meaningful way. It seems clear that some workers are already able to use it to do far more with less.

The question is whether fewer people will be able to share in any future benefits of this increased productivity. Wanting to supply as many employees as possible with the best tools and training isn’t necessarily the same thing as doing it.
There are already signs of what the new cast of losers could look like. Displaced knowledge workers have been failing to find new positions at notable rates.
If market realities dictate the availability of fewer well-compensated jobs in these fields, that could echo earlier shifts for manufacturing in advanced economies – places that have since scrambled to recover what was lost, for reasons that can be as political as they are practical.
One of AI’s principal pioneers has said that people with jobs that involve decision-making might want to consider alternatives that utilize other things that distinguish us as humans, like opposable thumbs. Plumbing, for example. Others say it doesn't have to be this way. That there will always be areas of human expertise that command a premium, in ways that may not only maintain the middle class, but expand its ranks.
ChatGPT offered up some of its own suggestions to me about how to deal with the situation it’s helping to create. Preventing wage stagnation will rely on reinvesting any economic gains that AI creates into skills development and “fair wage policies,” it said. Places “with strong worker protections and social safety nets” will likely fare best.
It’s not about the technology, according to the technology, it’s about how we choose to apply it.

While certain applications of gen AI remain contentious, there are areas where the technology is already proving remarkably helpful for content creators and publishers alike. One of them is Djinn, a tool developed by IBM that helps journalists identify local newsworthy stories in local data and documents. Initially developed for the Norwegian newsroom iTromsø, Djinn combines NLP, AI and machine learning.
Since its launch two years ago, at the beginning of the gen AI wave, Djinn has been adopted by close to 40 newsrooms in the Polaris Media group, which owns iTromsø. The newsrooms that adopted Djinn saw an increase of 1,300% in traffic share, while reducing the time journalists spent on their research by 94%. Better yet—the journalists adopted the tool.
“User adoption was huge, because the system was well-explainable and built around users,” Silvia Podestà, an Advisory Innovation Designer at IBM in Denmark, tells IBM Think. Since its deployment, experts credit the tool as one of the best use cases of AI deployment in the service of journalism. “It’s a great case of editorial-led innovation,” said Nikita Roy, a journalist and data scientist who dedicated a full episode of her industry podcast to Djinn.
Djinn addresses one of the core challenges for journalists and local media: the ability to uncover original stories while operating in smaller newsrooms, where resources are scarce. Djinn collects data from local government sites, ranks them, summarizes them, and alerts journalists as to which stories they could pursue. Djinn primarily utilizes watsonx.ai and Watson NLP technologies, combining gen AI and machine learning.
“Journalists would access very disparate data sets sitting in public repositories made available by municipalities,” Podestà explains. “That process was overwhelming because of the sheer amount of information, and journalists were risking missing out on potential good stories because they didn’t have the time to go through all of the documents every day,” says Podestà, who will speak about Djinn and trustworthy AI during an upcoming conference, We Make Future.

|
New York CNN —
The chief executive of one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence labs is warning that the technology could cause a dramatic spike in unemployment in the very near future. He says policymakers and corporate leaders aren’t ready for it.
“AI is starting to get better than humans at almost all intellectual tasks, and we’re going to collectively, as a society, grapple with it,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in an interview on Thursday. “AI is going to get better at what everyone does, including what I do, including what other CEOs do.”
Amodei believes the AI tools that Anthropic and other companies are racing to build could eliminate half of entry-level, white-collar jobs and spike unemployment to as much as 20% in the next one to five years, he told Axios on Wednesday. That could mean the US unemployment rate growing fivefold in just a few years; the last time it neared that rate was briefly at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It’s not the first dire warning about how rapidly advancing AI could upend the economy in the coming years. Academics and economists have also cautioned that AI could replace some jobs or tasks in the coming years, with varying degrees of seriousness. Earlier this year, a World Economic Forum survey showed that 41% of employers plan to downsize their workforce because of AI automation by 2030.
But Amodei’s prediction is notable because it’s coming from one of the industry’s top leaders and because of the scale of disruption it foretells. It also comes as Anthropic is now selling AI technology on the promise that it can work nearly the length of a typical human workday.
The historical narrative about how tech advancement works is that technology would automate lower-paying, lower-skilled jobs, and the displaced human workers can be trained to take more lucrative positions. However, if Amodei is correct, AI could wipe out more specialized white-collar roles that may have required years of expensive training and education — and those workers may not be so easily retrained for equal or higher-paying jobs.
Amodei suggested that lawmakers may even need to consider levying a tax on AI companies.
“If AI creates huge total wealth, a lot of that will, by default, go to the AI companies and less to ordinary people,” he said. “So, you know, it’s definitely not in my economic interest to say that, but I think this is something we should consider and I think it shouldn’t be a partisan thing.”
‘Faster, broader, harder to adapt to’
Researchers and economists have forecast that professionals from paralegals and payroll clerks to financial advisers and coders could see their jobs dramatically change – if not eliminated entirely – in the coming years thanks to AI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said last month that he expects AI to write half the company’s code within the next year; Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said as much as 30% of his company’s code is currently being written by AI.
Amodei told CNN that Anthropic tracks how many people say they use its AI models to augment human jobs versus to entirely automate human jobs. Currently, he said, it’s about 60% of people using AI for augmentation and 40% for automation, but that the latter is growing.
Last week, the company released a new AI model that it says can work independently for almost seven hours in a row, taking on more complex tasks with less human oversight.
Amodei says most people don’t realize just how quickly AI is advancing, but he advises “ordinary citizens” to “learn to use AI.”
“People have adapted to past technological changes,” Amodei said. “But everyone I’ve talked to has said this technological change looks different, it looks faster, it looks harder to adapt to, it’s broader. The pace of progress keeps catching people off guard.”
Estimates about just how quickly AI models are improving vary widely. And some skeptics have predicted that as big AI companies run out of high-quality, publicly available data to train their models on, after having already gobbled up much of the internet, the rate of change in the industry may slow.
Some who study the technology also say it’s more likely that AI will automate certain tasks, rather than entire jobs, giving human workers more time to do complex tasks that computers aren’t good at yet.
But regardless of where they fall on the prediction scale, most experts agree that it is time for the world to start planning for the economic impacts of AI.
“People sometimes comfort themselves (by) saying, ‘Oh, but the economy always creates new jobs,’” University of Virginia business and economics professor Anton Korinek said in an email. “That’s true historically, but unlike in the past, intelligent machines will be able to do the new jobs as well, and probably learn them faster than us humans.”
Amodei said he also believes that AI will have positive impacts, such as curing disease. “I wouldn’t be building this technology if I didn’t think that it could make the world better,” he said.
For the CEO, making this warning now could serve, in some ways, to boost his reputation as a responsible leader in the space. The top AI labs are competing not only to have the most powerful models, but also be perceived as the most trustworthy stewards of the tech transformation, amid growing questions from lawmakers and the public about the technology’s efficacy and implications.
“Amodei’s message is not just about warning the public. It’s part truth-telling, part reputation management, part market positioning, and part policy influence,” tech futurist and Futuremade CEO Tracey Follows told CNN in an email. “If he makes the claim that this will cause 20% unemployment over the next five years, and no-one stops or impedes the ongoing development of this model … then Anthropic cannot be to blame in the future — they warned people.”
Amodei told Cooper that he’s “raising the alarm” because other AI leaders “haven’t as much and I think someone needs to say it and to be clear.”
“I don’t think we can stop this bus,” Amodei said. “From the position that I’m in, I can maybe hope to do a little to steer the technology in a direction where we become aware of the harms, we address the harms, and we’re still able to achieve the benefits.”

Anthropic CEO says AI could cause up to 20% unemployment within five years, wipe out half of all entry-level white collar jobs · Jensen Huang ...
|
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who helms the company behind ChatGPT rival Claude, has warned that artificial intelligence could wipe out a staggering 50% of all entry-level white collar jobs, while spiking unemployment by up to 20% in the next five years, in a new interview with Axios.
Amodei reportedly said in an interview that AI could wipe out "half of all entry-level white-collar jobs", Axios reports, while increasing unemployment by 10-20%. Perhaps more unsettling, he says this could happen in the next one to five years.
According to the report, Amodei says that AI companies and the government should stop "sugar-coating" what's coming, namely, "the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs."
Axios says Amodei wants to buoy government and AI companies into action to get the country ready for such an event, and to protect people from the incursion.
Amodei hinted that lawmakers are asleep at the wheel, saying most people seemed unaware "that this is about to happen," and that because it sounds crazy, people simply don't believe it.
The report highlights Anthropic's Claude 4 Opus rollout, which recently launched with the ability to code at a near-human level, as well as scheme and deceive. It's the same model that we recently reported sabotaged shutdown mechanism commands, even attempting to blackmail the humans trying to turn it off.
Amodei told Axios he envisions 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" as one possible scenario that could be unlocked by the "unimaginable" possibilities of AI.

Amodei reiterated that producers of AI tech have a duty of care and an obligation to be honest about the future threat, and highlighted a clear, strange dynamic at play. Amodei believes critics think AI builders are just trying to hype up their own products, ignoring warnings about the future of AI as a result.
He went on to spell out how this "white-collar bloodbath" could unfold, driven by the advancements of AI models like OpenAI's ChatGPT. The U.S. government, driven by fears about falling behind China or spooking workers, stays quiet about the dangers and doesn't regulate. Likewise, most Americans ignore the growing threat of AI, specifically to their jobs, before finally business leaders realize the savings of replacing humans with AI, doing this en masse, with everyone else only realizing before it's too late.
According to the report, Anthropic's own research shows AI is currently being used mostly to augment jobs done by humans, but Amodei says this will eventually progress more towards automation, where AI does the job instead of a human.
The report highlights further context around significant layoffs at companies like Microsoft and Meta's vision of a future where mid-level coders will soon be unnecessary.
Amodei likened the task to a train that can't be stopped by just stepping in front of it, but rather one that requires steering. He says a change in course is possible but needs to be enacted "now."

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.

AI is evolving faster than most teams can adapt. Forward-thinking companies are closing the gap with leadership-first, role-based tech training ...
|
According to McKinsey’s 2025 report, “Superagency in the Workplace,” employees are more prepared for AI integration than their leaders realize. The study found that employees are three times more likely than leaders to believe that AI will replace 30% of their work in the next year and are eager to gain AI skills.
However, only 1% of leaders report that their organizations have achieved maturity in AI adoption, indicating a significant leadership gap in steering AI integration effectively. This underscores the need for proactive leadership to bridge the AI readiness gap and fully harness the technology’s potential.
At a recent event in Nairobi, hosted by Moringa and Workpay, the message was clear: the AI revolution is here, but most companies are still figuring out how to catch up. Paul Kimani, the CEO of Workpay, challenged HR Business Leaders to rethink how they conduct the hiring process in their organizations. Imagine having to sift through 5,000 CVs for one role. Exhausting, right?
Here’s our take on the AI skills gap and key takeaways from the event that can help your business catch up.
The AI Hype Is Real, But So Is the Skills Deficit
From generative AI like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Co pilot to Agentic AI on website chatbots or call centres to automated hiring tools and predictive analytics, AI is already transforming how work gets done. However, tools alone are not the solution; organizations need leaders who understand their strategic value and employees equipped to use them effectively.
A 2024 Randstad report found that only 35% of employees received any AI training in the past year, even though 75% of companies have adopted AI technologies. This gap between access and ability is exactly why many businesses aren’t seeing ROI on their tech investments.
Structured training is the bridge. Organizations that build internal capacity stand apart. The key is to start with foundational literacy, then scale up to role-specific, hands-on learning that drives real impact
AI Isn’t Just for Tech Teams – Train Across Teams
While the evolution of AI is within data science or engineering teams, its application cuts across various departments within an organization. It’s now part of recruitment, finance, customer service, marketing, and beyond.
To scale AI effectively across the organization, businesses need to map out AI use cases in every department and deliver relevant, contextual training. Wondering how to get started? Here are some practical tips.
Assess each department’s workflows and data readiness to spot where AI can deliver the most value. Identify High-Impact use cases that support strategic goals and deliver measurable ROI in core functions like HR, Finance, Marketing, and Customer Service. Prioritize AI use cases based on impact and feasibility, then develop a cross-functional implementation plan with stakeholder buy-in and clear success metrics to ensure effective execution.

AI Fear and Resistance: Making Upskilling a Strategic Priority
Many employees still view AI as a threat, which creates fear and resistance that slow down adoption. However, McKinsey’s research we just highlighted, shows that employees are ready to embrace AI; they just need reassurance and understanding. To overcome this, companies should run AI literacy workshops that debunk myths and emphasize how AI augments roles rather than replaces them.
Encouraging a “learn-and-try” culture where employees can safely experiment with AI tools, supported by leadership buy-in and peer learning, to help shift mindsets. Forward-looking organizations are already moving beyond hiring new talent by making AI upskilling a strategic priority. They set clear goals for AI fluency across functions and partner with expert training providers like Moringa to develop customized learning paths that align with business outcomes.

Business Insider laying off 21% of its employees as it pulls back in some areas and beefs up its live events business and the use of AI.
|
Business Insider is making significant layoffs — cutting 21% of staffers across the board — as the Axel Springer-owned digital-media outlet pulls back in some areas and beefs up its live events business and the use of AI.
CEO Barbara Peng announced the layoffs, BI’s third major round in three years, in a memo Thursday. “We are reducing the size of our organization, a move that will impact about 21% of our colleagues and touch every department,” she wrote. Business Insider is “scaling back on categories that once performed well on other platforms but no longer drive meaningful readership or aren’t areas where we can lead.”
The Insider Union, affiliated with NewsGuild of New York, said the layoffs announced Thursday “is another example of [parent company] Axel Springer’s brazen pivot away from journalism toward greed.”
Popular on Variety
“We were notified that Business Insider management intends to lay off about 20 percent of our members as part of their ongoing ‘strategy’ to ‘build toward something new,'” the union said in a statement. “Let’s be clear: This is far from anything new. This is the third round of layoffs in as many years and it is unacceptable that union members and other talented coworkers are again paying the price for the strategic failures of Business Insider’s leadership.”
Founded in 2007 by former Wall Street analyst Henry Blodget, Business Insider was acquired in 2015 by Axel Springer, one of Europe’s largest digital publishing and media conglomerates, for $343 million.
According to Peng, Business Insider’s “most loyal readers subscribe, engage and consistently return for specific coverage,” although she did not specify what that is. The publication is “doubling down on those areas with expanded reporting and key hires,” she added. However, 70% of the business has “some degree of traffic sensitivity,” and Business Insider “must be structured to endure extreme traffic drops outside of our control,” she wrote.
Business Insider is also shutting down “the majority” of its e-commerce business “given its reliance on search” while maintaining “a few high-performing verticals,” according to Peng. Meanwhile, the publication is expanding the BI Live events business, which is “a space where we can showcase our journalism, connect directly with our audience, and build a strong portfolio of experiences,” she wrote.
As part of the restructuring, Business Insider is “going all-in on AI,” Peng said. “In the past year, we’ve launched multiple AI-driven products to better serve our audience — from gen-AI onsite search to our AI-powered paywall — with new products set to launch in the coming months,” the CEO wrote. Business Insider is also “exploring how AI can boost operations across shared services, helping us scale and operate more efficiently.”
The Insider Union called Peng’s touting the use of AI in the Business Insider newsroom “tone deaf.” “To say this was tone-deaf to include in an email on layoffs would be an understatement,” the union’s statement said. “Our position as a union is that no Al tool or technology should or can take the place of human beings.”
The latest cuts come after Business Insider pink-slipped 8% of its employees early last year and 10% in April 2023.
Read Peng’s full memo to staff about the changes:
Team,
Today we’re making significant organizational changes that are part of the strategy we set in motion a year and a half ago: to be the essential source of business, tech, and innovation journalism for an audience determined to succeed and unafraid to challenge convention to do it.
Since returning to our roots as Business Insider, we’ve been building toward something new. This kind of transformation takes time — and it requires tough decisions along the way.
What happens today
We are reducing the size of our organization, a move that will impact about 21% of our colleagues and touch every department.
This will be a difficult day, and our first priority is to provide clarity and support to those colleagues whose roles are being eliminated.
If your role is impacted, you will receive an email from the People & Culture team in the next 15 minutes. The email will include details for a meeting today in which a member of our P&C team will walk you through next steps and answer any questions. You will only receive an email if your role is affected.
We’re also proposing changes that impact our UK team, but the process is a bit different there; separate communication will follow from Claire Shelton.
While today’s changes are what we must do to build the most enduring Business Insider, it doesn’t make them any easier. We are fortunate to have built a company filled with thoughtful, kind, and creative people around the world, and we deeply appreciate the positive impact they have made within the company and on our readers, clients, and partners.
The changes we’re making today and why
Eighteen months ago we announced our new strategy: We went back to Business Insider and focused on delivering best-in-class business, tech, and innovation journalism to a smart, specific audience. That kicked off the beginning of our transformation from Insider — with its broad approach and appeal — to a more focused Business Insider.
Since Jamie Heller joined as EIC at the end of last year, we’ve made great progress — we’ve sharpened our standards and are shifting towards more reporting that is authoritative and matters deeply to the people who read it. We’ve doubled the amount of original reporting we publish and have substantially increased engagement in the past months.
This is a new Business Insider. It’s more focused. It’s intentional. And it’s working.
More broadly though, the media industry is at a crossroads. Business models are under pressure, distribution is unstable, and competition for attention is fiercer than ever. At the same time, there’s a huge opportunity for companies who harness AI first. Our strategy is strong, but we don’t have the luxury of time. The pace of change combined with the opportunity ahead demands bold, focused action — and it’s our chance to lead the pack.
Here’s what’s changing today:
1. We’re aligning our coverage to match our strategic focus.
We’re focusing where we can deliver unique, lasting value and serve our audience in ways only Business Insider can.
As Insider, we cast a wide net, covering a broad range of topics. Some of those still align with our strategy — stories that spotlight the smart moves (and mistakes!) people make as they actually experience the world.
At the same time, we’re scaling back on categories that once performed well on other platforms but no longer drive meaningful readership or aren’t areas where we can lead.
Our most loyal readers subscribe, engage, and consistently return for specific coverage — and we’re doubling down on those areas with expanded reporting and key hires.
2. We’re launching events and reducing our reliance on traffic-sensitive businesses.
We’re at the start of a major shift in how people find and consume information, which is driving ongoing volatility in traffic and distribution for all publishers. The impact on our industry has been profound, with many publications shuttering in recent years.
Our business is diversified, which has helped insulate us. We’ve also significantly improved how we monetize traffic — each visit to our site now generates twice as much revenue as it did just two years ago.
Still, 70% of our business has some degree of traffic sensitivity. We must be structured to endure extreme traffic drops outside of our control, so we’re reducing our overall company to a size where we can absorb that volatility.
We’re also exiting the majority of our Commerce business, given its reliance on search, and maintaining a few high performing verticals.
We’re launching and investing in BI Live, our new live journalism events business. It’s a space where we can showcase our journalism, connect directly with our audience, and build a strong portfolio of experiences. We’ve already seen demand, brought on key leaders, and will continue to build the team.
3. Finally, we are fully embracing AI.
As we shared during our April All-Hands, we are going all-in on AI — and we’re off to a strong start.
Over 70% of Business Insider employees are already using Enterprise ChatGPT regularly (our goal is 100%), and we’re building prompt libraries and sharing everyday use cases that help us work faster, smarter, and better.
In the past year, we’ve launched multiple AI-driven products to better serve our audience — from gen-AI onsite search to our AI-powered paywall — with new products set to launch in the coming months. We’re also exploring how AI can boost operations across shared services, helping us scale and operate more efficiently.
Change like this isn’t easy. But Business Insider was born in a time of disruption — when the smartphone was reshaping how people consumed news. We thrived by taking risks and building something new.
We’re at that moment again. It calls for bold experimentation, openness to change, and a willingness to lead.
Among all publications, we are uniquely positioned to do just that.
What’s next
I know this is a lot to absorb and it will take time to process. We’ll come together during the All-Hands today at 11:30AM ET and leaders will be hosting team meetings to answer your questions.
To those affected today, we are grateful to you for helping build Business Insider and for being wonderful colleagues. Your work has made an impact and we appreciate you.
Please support each other today and as we move through the coming days and weeks. While this change is extraordinarily difficult and will test us in many ways, it is a moment I know we’ll be able to meet. Thank you all for your resilience, as ever.

2025 Review of AI and Employment Law in California
|
California Advances Artificial Intelligence Employment Regulation
|
https://natlawreview.com
|
[] |
California lawmakers and agencies push AI hiring regulations, while a federal court certifies a class action against Workday over alleged ...
|
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 policies, and detailed impact assessments before using AI-driven hiring tools. It aims to prevent algorithmic bias across all business sectors.
AB 1221 and AB 1331 – Workplace Surveillance Limits
Both AB 1221 and AB 1331 target electronic monitoring and surveillance technologies in the workplace. AB 1221 would obligate employers to provide 30 days’ notice to employees who will be monitored by workplace surveillance tools. These tools include facial, gait, or emotion recognition technology, all of which typically rely on AI algorithms. AB 1221 also describes procedures and requirements for any analyzing vendor’s storage and usage of data collected by such a tool. AB 1331 more broadly restricts employers’ use of tracking tools—from video/audio recording and keystroke monitoring to GPS and biometric trackers—particularly during off-duty hours or in private areas.
Agency and Regulatory Guidance
CRD – Final Regulations on Automated Decision Systems
On 21 March 2025, California’s Civil Rights Council (part of the Civil Rights Department (CRD)) adopted final regulations titled “Employment Regulations Regarding Automated-Decision Systems.” These rules, which could take effect as early as 1 July 2025, once approved by the Office of Administrative Law, explicitly apply existing anti-discrimination law (the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)) to AI tools.
Key requirements in the new CRD regulations include:
Bias Testing and Record-Keeping
Employers using automated tools may bear a higher burden to demonstrate they have tested for and mitigated bias. A lack of evidence of such efforts can be held against the employer. Employers must also retain records of their AI-driven decisions and data (e.g., job applications, ADS data) for at least four years.
Third-Party Liability
The definition of “employer’s agent” under FEHA now explicitly encompasses third-party AI vendors or software providers if they perform functions on behalf of the employer. This means an AI vendor’s actions (screening or ranking applicants, for example) can legally be attributed to the employer—a critical point aligning with recent caselaw (see Mobley lawsuit below).
Job-Related Criteria
If an employer uses AI to screen candidates, the criteria must be job-related and consistent with business necessity, and no less-discriminatory alternative can exist. This mirrors disparate-impact legal tests, applied now to algorithms.
Broad Coverage of Tools
The regulations define “Automated-Decision System” expansively to include any computational process that assists or replaces human decision-making about employment benefits, which covers resume-scanning software, video interview analytics, predictive performance tools, etc.
Once in effect, California will be among the first jurisdictions with detailed rules governing AI in hiring and employment. The CRD’s move signals that using AI is not a legal shield and that employers remain responsible for outcomes and must ensure their AI tools are fair and compliant.
AI Litigation
Mobley v. Workday, Inc., currently pending in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, illustrates the litigation risks of using AI in hiring. In Mobley, a job applicant alleged that Workday’s AI-driven recruitment screening tools disproportionately rejected older, Black, and disabled applicants, including himself, in violation of anti-discrimination laws. In late 2024, Judge Rita Lin allowed the lawsuit to proceed, finding the plaintiff stated a plausible disparate impact claim and that Workday could potentially be held liable as an “agent” of its client employers. This ruling suggests that an AI vendor might be directly liable for discrimination if its algorithm, acting as a delegated hiring function, unlawfully screens out protected groups.
On 6 February 2025, the plaintiff moved to expand the lawsuit into a nationwide class action on behalf of millions of job seekers over age 40 who applied through Workday’s systems since 2020 and were never hired. The amended complaint added several additional named plaintiffs (all over 40) who claim that after collectively submitting thousands of applications via Workday-powered hiring portals, they were rejected—sometimes within minutes and at odd hours, suggestive of automated processing. They argue that a class of older applicants were uniformly impacted by the same algorithmic practices. On 16 May 2025, Judge Lin preliminarily certified a nationwide class of over-40 applicants under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, a ruling that highlights the expansive exposure these tools could create if applied unlawfully. Mobley marks one of the first major legal tests of algorithmic bias in employment and remains the nation’s most high-profile challenge of AI-driven employment decisions.
Conclusion
California is moving toward a comprehensive framework where automated hiring and management tools are held to the same standards as human decision-makers. Employers in California should closely track these developments: pending bills could soon impose new duties (notice, audits, bias mitigation) if enacted, and the CRD’s regulations will make algorithmic bias expressly unlawful under FEHA. Meanwhile, real-world litigation is already underway, warning that both employers and AI vendors can be held accountable when technology produces discriminatory outcomes.
The tone of regulatory guidance is clear that embracing innovation must not sacrifice fairness and compliance. Legal professionals, human resources leaders, and in-house counsel should proactively assess any AI tools used in recruitment or workforce management. This includes consulting the new CRD rules, conducting bias audits, and ensuring there is a “human in the loop” for important decisions. California’s 2025 developments signal that the intersection of AI and employment law will only grow in importance, with the state continuing to refine how centuries-old workplace protections apply to cutting-edge technology.

How the AI revolution demands a return to uniquely human skills - and what policy can do to help us get there.
|
A reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam in the age of AI by DALL·E 3 from OpenAI
Welcome to all our new readers! This post is part of our new series on AI & Labor—a space to explore how intelligent machines are reshaping the very nature of work.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue to share insights on how AI is transforming labor markets—led by our Labor Policy predoctoral researcher, Revana Sharfuddin.
Author’s note: This is Part II of a two-part essay on preparing for the AI-augmented economy. In Part I, I focused on the coming labor transitions and how to think beyond automation toward augmentation. In this second installment, I dig into what readiness really means—not just as workers, but as people. Not just for the economy, but for society. Readiness is not simply a matter of skills; it’s a matter of meaning. As Tyler Cowen recently argued, we’re entering a future where flourishing will require a radical shift in how we view purpose, collaboration, and value.
Preparing for that future means confronting a series of cultural, institutional, and policy challenges. It will require mindset shifts at the individual level, renewed collaboration between companies and civil society, and smarter policy that removes roadblocks rather than creating new ones.
We Need Each Other: Working Together, Resting More, Rebuilding Society
Since the rise of the internet and the IT revolution, we have been living in the era of the technical elite, where technical skills have reigned supreme. The message has been clear: master coding, data analysis, and computational thinking, and you will thrive. Soft skills—like communication, collaboration, and emotional intelligence—have often been sidelined as secondary. Even in team-based fields like software development, direct interpersonal interaction has been reduced to virtual workspaces where developers collaborate through shared screens and chat channels, creating digital systems with minimal face-to-face interaction.
But perhaps it is time to step back and reconsider what we have left behind.
As coding and automation-related jobs surged during the computerization boom, professional skills that emphasize relationship-building, collaboration, and emotional intelligence were systematically devalued. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this shift, particularly for younger workers whose first jobs were fully remote. Workplace networking, mentorship, and informal social learning—once essential for professional growth—were suddenly absent. Dating and friendships, which once flourished through organic, in-person interactions, became mediated almost entirely through screens. A generation of workers entered adulthood without developing the soft human capital that underpins trust, adaptability, and social cohesion.
Survey research shows that valuing interpersonal skills has the largest generational gap, with older STEM workers valuing them far more than younger ones.
For many, remote work became a convenient escape from the often exhausting unpredictability of human interaction. And understandably so—social engagement takes effort. It requires learning each other’s rhythms, making space for different personalities, navigating rapidly shifting social norms, and granting others the benefit of the doubt. In an age where a single misplaced word can trigger outrage, where conversations feel like navigating a minefield of political correctness, and where miscommunication is met with instant dismissal rather than understanding, it is no surprise that many have opted out.
The result? A loneliness crisis, increasing political polarization, and a workforce that has learned it is simply more efficient to work from home, alone, free from the complications of human interaction.
But in optimizing for efficiency, have we sacrificed something fundamental? Have we, in the process, lost a bit of what has historically been our greatest comparative advantage—being human?
To be clear, remote work offers undeniable benefits—it allows for greater flexibility, more time with family, and better support for caregiving, all of which are crucial in an era of declining fertility and weakening social cohesion. But as we weigh these advantages, we must also consider what we risk losing. Technology has consistently freed up time from routine labor, yet whether that extra time enhances our lives depends on how we use it.
Consider this striking statistic: In 2015, an average U.S. worker could have maintained the income level of an average worker in 1915 by working just 17 weeks per year. AI has the potential to accelerate this trend—reducing time spent on repetitive tasks and increasing leisure to allow for a greater focus on family life, child-rearing, and deeper interpersonal relationships. However, the full benefits of this shift can only be realized if we lean into our comparative advantage as humans.
History shows that the jobs that endured were those that leveraged human strengths—judgment, creativity, and social intelligence. If AI is poised to take over routine technical tasks, the real opportunity lies not in competing with machines but in mastering the distinctly human skills that allow us to wield AI to its fullest potential.
Taxing the Future? Unpacking the Risks of AI Penalties
For decades, conventional economists have made a critical mistake: underestimating the burden placed on workers displaced by technological shifts and globalization. Foundational economic models assumed that technological progress was neutral, benefiting all workers. In practice, technological change can disproportionately help some while displacing others in the transition period. While advancements boost productivity and raise overall living standards, they do not always distribute their gains equally.
Too often, the response has been cold rationalism: Your job is obsolete? Adapt or risk being left behind. But economic agents are not just anonymous data points in a labor market model. They are people, with families, financial obligations, aspirations, and identities deeply tied to their work. The assumption that displaced workers can “easily” retrain and transition “seamlessly” into emerging fields ignores the real costs of career shifts. Middle-aged and low-wage workers face steep learning curves, financial constraints, and cognitive exhaustion from balancing work, childcare, and financial stress.
The lower a worker is in the income distribution, the more cognitive capacity is consumed by immediate survival concerns—worrying about bills, rent, and daily necessities—leaving little capacity for retraining or investing in new skills. When these realities are ignored, trust in institutions erodes.
Political polarization is, in part, a cautionary tale about the consequences of dismissing economic displacement. When workers are told that the economy is better off on average, while their own prospects remain bleak, it breeds disillusionment and a sense that the system no longer represents them.
In recent decades, many market-oriented economists have largely remained silent about proactive solutions for supporting workers amid technological disruptions. This absence has allowed other groups to step forward with proposals—mostly centered on taxation or redistribution. Consider, for instance, a recent policy memo by Acemoglu and his colleagues suggesting taxes on AI technology.
While their recommendation emerges from rigorous, influential research, we must examine carefully the assumptions underlying their proposals. In traditional growth frameworks, such as the Solow or Ramsey–Cass–Koopmans models, technological advancement is modeled explicitly as labor-augmenting productivity—captured by a parameter. In these scenarios, technological progress complements workers uniformly, enhancing productivity without replacing jobs.
Of course, this is a simplification—real-world effects are uneven, and some degree of substitution between labor and technology does occur, depending on the task. However, Acemoglu et al.'s task-based model differs fundamentally. Their framework explicitly addresses automation—where technology replaces labor—without an exogenous aggregate productivity shifter. In other words, the economy evolves as tasks shift between capital and labor, not by scaling up labor productivity.
Consequently, their optimal tax calculations are primarily aimed at addressing cases of marginal ("so-so") automation, where AI substitutes for human work without meaningful productivity improvement.
If we broadly apply an optimal tax rate designed for labor-replacing AI to all AI technologies—including those that enhance human capabilities—we risk penalizing the very productivity gains essential for wage growth and job creation.
Time and again, history has taught us that the best way to support displaced workers is through retraining programs. But who will lead this effort? The answer is almost always the government. Yet do we really trust policymakers to understand, predict, and effectively respond to one of the most complex technological transformations in modern history? Consider the now-famous congressional hearing where TikTok CEO Shou Chew testified before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce—a moment that starkly illustrated how disconnected many policymakers are from even the most basic workings of technology. If these are the same institutions we expect to guide workers through the AI revolution, should we not be thinking more critically about alternative solutions?
Two Market-Based Reforms to Support a Changing Workforce
While comprehensive solutions will require broader effort, here are two practical reforms that could help us begin moving in the right direction:
First, fix how the tax code treats investments in human capital. Currently, businesses can deduct expenses for worker training only if the training improves skills for their current job—not if it qualifies them for new types of work. This creates a perverse incentive: companies have a tax advantage when training workers to stay in the same roles but a disincentive when investing in training that allows employees to transition into higher-value, future-proof jobs. If we treated worker training the same way we treat equipment purchases—allowing businesses to fully deduct all training expenses—firms would have a stronger incentive to invest in reskilling their workforce. Unlike industry-specific tax credits, which introduce complexity and distort incentives, full expensing of all forms of investment—both human and physical capital—ensures neutrality and efficiency.
Second, embrace a universal form of Individual Training Accounts (ITAs)—a worker-centered approach designed to empower job seekers by letting them choose training that aligns with their interests and market demands. However, an even more impactful approach to meet the same goals would be the adoption of Universal Savings Accounts (USAs). Compared to ITAs, USAs are simpler, more flexible, and easier for individuals to manage on their own. Many low-income families struggle with navigating numerous tax-advantaged savings accounts, each with distinct eligibility requirements and penalties. This cognitive burden discourages savings and undermines financial security, particularly for those most vulnerable. USAs simplify the process by offering a single, accessible savings account where contributions grow tax-free and withdrawals can be made at any time, without taxes or penalties. Experience from Canada and the United Kingdom shows this simplified approach increases savings participation among low-and moderate-income families, giving workers the agency, dignity, and self-determination they need to invest in their own futures.
Building Coalitions: Why We Need Everyone at the Table
A shift of this magnitude demands collaborative effort—businesses, workers, policymakers, and civil society must all be at the table because the stakes are too high for complacency. Recall my earlier discussion in Part I on the business potential of automation versus augmentation (as illustrated by Erik Brynjolfsson). History shows that automation alone has limits, while augmentation—when coupled with structured retraining—has the power to unlock immense economic dynamism. Companies must take the lead in human capital development because augmentation builds stronger workforces, reduces displacement anxiety, and creates the foundation for shared economic growth.
Private industry needs to be proactive—not just funding retraining but shaping it. Companies should partner with local community and technical colleges to design micro-credential programs that match regional labor market needs. Just as important, they should help workers navigate these options through clear communication and guidance. Training tied to local demand, clearly communicated, is how anxiety about obsolescence can become ambition for what's next.
The momentum is already building. Since my last Substack post, I was invited to share my research with members of Capitol Hill staff. I am happy to report that there is growing bipartisan interest in supporting workers and communities amid technological change. Additionally, the newly launched AI-Enabled Policymaking Project (AIPP) has convened AI labs, startups, civil society organizations, academic experts, policymakers, government representatives from defense and intelligence, and independent technologists to share specialized knowledge and identify practical solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are also proactively engaging researchers to integrate AI into their workflows. Today, I'll join the Fairfax County Small Business Forum to further these important conversations.
Inside a working session at the AI-Enabled Policymaking Project (AIPP), where researchers, technologists, and policymakers gathered to explore how AI can be used to support smarter, more inclusive governance.
Public-private partnerships are essential, but equally important is a thoughtful reimagining of the labor unions’ role. Unions should no longer be seen merely as relics of industrial-era conflict or obstacles to innovation. Instead, they can serve as strategic partners—helping businesses and workers navigate change, supporting effective retraining, representing worker voice, and fostering shared understanding of future market directions. Union involvement in the SB 1047 debate signals a willingness to engage constructively in shaping AI’s role in the economy. However, for unions to realize their full potential, a reorientation is necessary—reforming institutional laws and structures, shifting away from traditional adversarial approaches toward collaboration, and embracing the possibilities of augmentation rather than opposition.
In the United States, existing labor laws grant certified unions exclusive bargaining rights, which can inadvertently encourage more adversarial stances. In our new paper, we explore alternative institutional structures that could enable unions to evolve into collaborative, forward-thinking partners, fostering constructive dialogue and cooperation between workers and firms. This shift can transform AI from a perceived threat into a catalyst for economic growth and shared prosperity.
Conclusion
The lesson from history is clear: when societies harness technological change rather than fear it, they emerge stronger. But achieving this strength requires purposeful action. It demands individuals willing to revalue and cultivate uniquely human strengths—creativity, empathy, and collaboration. It necessitates proactive businesses that invest thoughtfully in worker training and forge genuine partnerships with educational institutions. It calls for policymakers to facilitate, rather than obstruct, innovation by aligning incentives and reducing cognitive burdens on workers seeking reskilling. And it requires re-imagined labor unions and civil society to work together to enhance worker agency and dignity.
The future of work need not be a contest between man and machine. It can be a stage for rediscovering what only humans can do—if we choose to build that future together.

On Radio Davos, Google’s Chief Economist Fabien Curto Millet explores the global impact of AI, energy demands, job disruption, and inequality.
In the discussion, he offers insights into how we can prepare for an uncertain future shaped by transformative technologies.
"Remember, I am sitting in the chocolate factory. So I see a little bit further what we've got coming down the lane, and it is absolutely formidable."
Fabien Curto Millet, the chief economist at Google, has a ring-side seat on the accelerating developments in AI, and spends his days working out the economic impact of the technology. So the Forum podcast Radio Davos wanted his reflections as we publish the latest Chief Economists Outlook - an overview of where we might expect the global economy to head.

Here are some highlights of the interview:
What does a Chief Economist at Google do?
“My job is essentially a mixture of four things,” said Millet.
“Firstly, I need to grapple with the global environment Google operates in. Secondly, how we use economic tools to improve our business decisions within this reality. Thirdly, how do we navigate public policy shaping the tech sector, especially antitrust. As a large company, we’re always in the spotlight in multiple jurisdictions. Finally, thought leadership – as AI reshapes society and the economy, what role can Google play in responsibly guiding this transformation?”
Preparing for uncertainties
The Chief Economists Outlook highlights concerns about geopolitical instability and rising economic nationalism fuelling global uncertainty.
Millet gave said organizations should understand and prepare for different kinds of uncertainty.
“Economists distinguish between decision-making under risk and decision-making under uncertainty. The former deals with knowing the probabilities of the decision, and the latter with completely uncertain realities.”
“ "AI's impact on our global economy is already quite clear" —Dr. Fabien Curto Millet, Google's Chief Economist ” — Dr. Fabien Curto Millet, Google's Chief Economist
Decision-making under uncertainty is, according to him, “Like playing dice without knowing how many faces it has—or what’s written on them!”
Millet says proper scenario planning is the way to prepare. By reducing uncertainties into manageable risks, an organization is empowered to develop strategies that consider most potential outcomes.
AI is transforming the global economy

Millet describes AI as “the most exciting technological shift” of his lifetime and says that the evidence of its impact is prevalent across most aspects of our global economy.
“On a grassroots level, AI’s impact is already quite clear,” he said. “AI boosts software developer efficiency by 21%, speeds up professional writing by 40%, and increases call centre productivity by 14%.”
Right now, AI adoption is still low—under 6% of American firms use it in production. Goldman Sachs, however, has forecast that AI could lead to a 15% increase in the GDP of the USA, while the OECD predicts a 10% gain over the next decade, Millet says.
What about the uncertainties over these outcomes? Millet said any concerns about a hype cycle like the ‘dot-com bubble' (late 1990s – early 2000s), should be offset by the longer term promise of AI.
“Yes, enthusiasm during the dot-com era led to huge investor speculation and financial overreach. However, the ultimate transformative impact of the internet age is quite apparent today. Despite that period, the entire economy today has been reshaped by digital markets, which were in their infancy 30 years ago,” he said. “AI’s impact will be faster and deeper. This is why we need to responsibly prepare for its risks.”
What about the concern that AI may increase the inequalities between developed and developing economies?
“I don’t agree with this narrative. Surveys show more enthusiasm for AI in the developing world than in the advanced world. At Google, we see building out our digital infrastructure as a way to enable more people in emerging markets to participate. Our subsea cables, for example, are having a major impact on West African communities’ ability to connect.”
He added: “In a place like Togo, for example, where the median age is 19 and teachers are scarce, AI is proving to be a lifeline for education. It’s empowering teachers and expanding access to quality resources.”
Discover How is the World Economic Forum creating guardrails for Artificial Intelligence? Show more In response to the uncertainties surrounding generative AI and the need for robust AI governance frameworks to ensure responsible and beneficial outcomes for all, the Forum’s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) has launched the AI Governance Alliance. The Alliance unites industry leaders, governments, academic institutions, and civil society organizations to champion responsible global design and release of transparent and inclusive AI systems. This includes the workstreams part of the AI Transformation of Industries initiative, in collaboration with the Centre for Energy and Materials, the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains, the Centre for Cybersecurity, the Centre for Nature and Climate, and the Global Industries team.
How will AI impact the energy transformation?
The massive demand for new data centres to power AI means the energy required is skyrocketing. Millet, says better, more efficient technologies will help soften that blow.
“What many don’t realize is that data centers, today, are 4x more compute-efficient than they were 5 years ago. Our latest Tensor Processing Units [Google’s custom-developed, application-specific integrated circuits used to accelerate machine learning workloads] are 30x more efficient than the first generation. That is a fantastic testament to innovation.”
He admits, however, that energy remains a major challenge. “The U.S. is projected to need 128 additional gigawatts by 2030. For its part, Google is investing in things like advanced geothermal and modular nuclear power, grid-enhancing technologies, and training new electricians.”
Will AI come for our jobs?
One of the biggest fears about AI is mass unemployment. Millet counters that “Technology replaces tasks, not jobs. Most jobs are made up of multiple tasks, many of which are hard to automate economically.”
“Employees are adopting AI before employers even realize it. A McKinsey report showed companies underestimate AI usage internally by a factor of three. Historically, we’ve seen huge shifts—like agriculture dropping from 60% to under 5% of employment in the USA without mass joblessness.”
He likens the current moment to the early days of electrification or computing: Transformative technologies that took time to reorganize the economy around them.
“With the right policy,” he emphasized, “AI can create more opportunities than it displaces.”

What comes next?
“I am truly amazed at what Gemini (Google’s AI) can accomplish. Recently, it helped a team at Imperial College generate a hypothesis about antibiotic resistance in minutes – that had taken them ten years to develop!”
For Millet, the current moment is pivotal for humanity.

AI has the potential to help healthcare organizations cut costs, improve patient care and relieve providers of manual tasks, such as documenting patient visits.
|
AI's potential to revolutionize the way organizations conduct business has been scrutinized for decades, and even more so since generative AI came into focus less than three years ago. While AI hyperbole has outweighed reality in many industries, the healthcare sector is a notable exception. AI technologies are playing a critical role across medical services -- from diagnosis and personalized care to records management and billing.
AI’s ability to ingest and process vast volumes of data with startling speed has proved widely applicable in a field where time-sensitive decisions are made based on medical images, test results, patient medical records and other life-impacting data. AI's predictive capabilities not only help diagnose illnesses and diseases, but they also predict potential drug interactions, recommend patient treatments, arrange ongoing care, and improve patient outcomes. In addition, AI plays an increasing role in patient management, drug discovery and development, and administrative processes.
For these reasons and more, the healthcare industry's appetite for AI investments is expected to grow at an astonishing rate -- 38.6% annually over the next five years, driven by deep learning, care for seniors and chronic care management, according to research firm MarketsandMarkets. Likewise, McKinsey & Company cites multiple catalysts for healthcare's surge in AI investments, including generative AI (GenAI), back-office use cases, claims processing and insurance verification.
"AI is turning healthcare on its head as we know it," said Shannon Germain Farraher, senior analyst for healthcare at Forrester. Healthcare organizations still struggle with a host of endemic issues, Germain added, pointing to labor shortages, tight budgets, administrative burden, the volatility in today's regulatory restructuring, as well as taxing relationships among payers, providers and pharma. "Many see AI as an answer to these issues," she said, "while others see a future where they need to have AI just to stay competitive and relevant, never mind operationally and financially efficient."
This comprehensive guide examines many aspects of AI in healthcare, including applications, benefits, challenges, technologies and trends. Readers will also get a big-picture analysis of what healthcare and health IT professionals must do to successfully implement AI while addressing critical ethical and compliance issues. Hyperlinks, research and comments presented throughout this page connect to related articles that provide additional insights, new developments and advice from healthcare industry experts.
AI and automation are transforming virtually every clinical and administrative healthcare function.
How AI is reshaping applications in healthcare today AI's multitude of capabilities is reshaping the everyday clinical and administrative workflows of hospitals, health systems and large medical practices. Depending on the application, healthcare organizations can implement AI tools through pilot programs, individual service lines, or patient populations. They can also augment AI-enabled processes, such as the electronic health record (EHR) system, with additional AI capabilities. Several healthcare practices, including the following, are heavily influenced by AI. Patient engagement. AI-based chatbots in healthcare facilitate patient interactions such as scheduling an appointment, refilling a prescription or paying a bill. Depending on the degree of difficulty, chatbots can determine whether a patient needs to speak to a person based on medical symptoms or the complexity of the patient's needs. Chatbots can also provide evidence-based recommendations or translate educational resources into a patient's native language. Clerical support for physicians. AI can be used to document patient visits, draft post-visit notes to patients, manage information and support clinical decisions. Relieved of the burden and stress of paperwork, physicians can spend more of their time interacting with patients. AI systems enabled with ambient clinical intelligence are used in examination rooms to retrieve information from the EHR system as well as capture notes and create instructions for prescriptions or lab orders. Documentation. GenAI in healthcare is focused on administrative use cases that improve the quality, speed and efficiency of healthcare documentation, according to a February 2025 survey published by the American Medical Association. GenAI models can process enormous amounts of medical data from EHRs to identify missing information. Microsoft reported its augmented AI assistant saves clinicians about five minutes per patient encounter, while Oracle announced its clinical AI agent reduces documentation time by nearly 30%. Data analysis. Most healthcare data, including medical images and lab reports, is unstructured. AI systems can parse unstructured data sources much faster than traditional analytics tools. Depending on the algorithm, AI models can provide diagnostic insights, identify high-risk patients, recommend treatments or help hospitals prevent harmful drug interactions. Healthcare is among the first industries to embrace widespread integration of AI. Imaging interpretation. Human analysis with the naked eye can be time-consuming and prone to error. Image recognition tools can interpret studies such as X-rays, electrocardiograms and CAT scans to identify irregularities, make a computer-aided diagnosis or deliver normal results so radiologists can focus on more complicated studies. Robot-assisted surgery. Though used for decades, robot-assisted surgery is now aiding surgeons during procedures involving tight, cramped and sometimes inaccessible areas like the prostate and urinary tract. This minimally invasive approach can speed up recovery times and reduce hospital stays. Robotic systems might also perform minor tasks, such as suturing, in the future. Drug discovery and development. The drug development lifecycle takes billions of dollars and decades of research, with no guarantee of regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Integrating AI technologies into drug discovery, development and manufacturing processes can help pharmaceutical companies get new drugs to market faster and more efficiently. AI and machine learning tools are improving process optimization, predictive maintenance and quality control, while flagging data patterns a human might miss. Genomics research. Recent AI advancements in computing, management techniques, algorithms and multimodal large language models are boosting genomics research. AI is also improving the speed and accuracy of drug target discovery, disease modeling and detection, and gene therapy, aiding clinicians in delivering personalized, precise medical treatments to patients. Telemedicine. AI supports remote healthcare services delivered over telecommunications infrastructure. Telehealth use cases include medical image analysis, virtual triaging of patients, virtual care assistants, chronic disease management, mental health check-ins, patient monitoring in clinical settings, as well as contact center, administrative and clinical assistance. Remote patient monitoring. AI can be incorporated into remote patient monitoring tools or used to streamline RPM data processing to provide patients with care outside a hospital environment. AI bolsters biosensors and wearables to help care teams gain insights into a patient's vital signs or activity levels, predict clinical complications and identify patients likely to benefit more from hospital-at-home services than inpatient care. Physical therapy. It can be difficult for physical therapists located at a single site to provide consistent treatment for patients across different locations. Therapists can use AI to analyze patient data and provide personalized treatment recommendations to each patient. By incorporating virtual reality into physical therapy treatments, patients can receive immediate feedback on their training regimen while clinicians monitor the patient's progress. Revenue cycle management. Before AI and automation, insurance claims processing was mostly manual and frustrating for patients forced to spend long periods of time on the phone. Automation speeds up various stages of the RCM process, such as applying the right medical codes to a patient visit or filling in demographic information. Supply chains. Managing the proper inventory, cold storage requirements, and expiration dates for vaccines, medications and other supplies is tricky business. Predictive analytics improves inventory management by tracking historical data, anticipating demand and monitoring shipping deadlines as well as product safety requirements. Business strategy. Hospitals and health systems can find themselves in highly competitive markets when it comes to adding and retaining patients. Sales and marketing teams can use AI to provide analysis and insights into patient populations that will help businesses make more informed decisions that drive revenue growth. Deploying AI in healthcare involves governance, workflows, ethics, training and transparency.
Ethics: How AI can be thoughtfully implemented in healthcare While there have been significant tangible benefits of AI in several key areas of healthcare, the race to achieve positive outcomes and medical breakthroughs can conflict with the ethical administration of patient medical treatments. The healthcare industry is ethically responsible for ensuring sensitive patient data is protected in accordance with prevailing regulatory obligations, such as patient data privacy standards. It's also responsible for ensuring that patient data is used appropriately so that healthcare providers and AI systems "do no harm" -- a fundamental principle of the Hippocratic Oath. It's also responsible for ensuring patient information is used in a transparent and responsible manner to mitigate decision-making bias while guaranteeing patient anonymity. AI is far from perfect, so when AI is used in healthcare, providers are duty-bound to ensure it doesn't violate their own standards. Ethical application of AI in healthcare entails three basic considerations: Accuracy. AI assistance in healthcare should never be taken at face value. While the information AI provides can save lives, its conclusions should always be examined and validated by human experts. Fairness. AI outcomes are only as good as the underlying data. Incomplete, inaccurate and biased data can lower the accuracy of its conclusions and negatively affect healthcare decision-making. Security. Safeguarding sensitive patient data from illegitimate or inappropriate access requires extensive security to ensure data used to train AI systems is anonymized properly, so conditions and outcomes can't be traced to specific patients. AI security requires a holistic approach that embraces commitments from IT and healthcare professionals. AI ethics practices in healthcare take on greater importance when fulfilling the medical principle 'do no harm.' Developing and adhering to ethical standards and policies can be daunting for AI-driven healthcare organizations. Problems can ensue due to a lack of leadership, policies, training and expertise. The following best practices can ensure these organizations use AI tools, technologies and techniques wisely and for the benefit of patients, while protecting themselves against ethics violations: Executive support. The ethical use of AI must start at the top of the healthcare organization, with senior leadership recognizing the need for adherence to ethical standards and issuing a mandate for the ethical use of AI systems. This entails understanding the risks of AI related to data protection, data ownership, data quality, data bias, informed patient consent, accountability and liability.

This entails understanding the risks of AI related to data protection, data ownership, data quality, data bias, informed patient consent, accountability and liability. Comprehensive AI policies. Detailed policy frameworks help guide the use of AI systems, translating AI recommendations into clinical practice and ensuring AI transparency and explainability. Policies include information on patient consent and equal access to care, ensuring AI doesn't dehumanize patients, and addressing AI errors, AI bias and outright AI system misuse.

Adherence to privacy regulations. Adhering to the strong regulatory and legislative statutes already in place to safeguard patients' personally identifiable information addresses many ethical issues related to AI use. The following practices are required: getting patient consent on how data is collected and used, collecting minimal data, following data storage and security protocols, using identity and access management tools, and implementing data backup and disaster recovery measures.

Human oversight of AI at several levels. AI recommendations should always be reviewed for accuracy; AI-based health decisions need to be explainable and checked to account for subjective uses, such as patient preferences and values. Liability and other legal issues that affect the entire AI system chain must be considered, along with regular training in the proper and acceptable use of AI tools.

Liability and other legal issues that affect the entire AI system chain must be considered, along with regular training in the proper and acceptable use of AI tools. AI experts on staff. Extensive knowledge of AI systems and detailed insight into the organization's computing infrastructure are paramount and demand an expert staff that understands and supports ethical integration efforts with AI systems. A gap in expertise can compromise AI ethics initiatives and put the healthcare organization at risk.

A gap in expertise can compromise AI ethics initiatives and put the healthcare organization at risk. Patient-centric focus. Patient treatment at several levels includes empathy and sensitivity in information-gathering, recognizing and respecting patient preferences and values, and following up on patient outcomes as well as the quality of care. Clear and concise patient consent should explain the information collected, why it's needed and how it's used, with the option for patients to opt out of certain data uses.
What benefits come with using AI in healthcare? AI has the potential to help healthcare organizations cut costs, improve patient care and relieve providers of manual tasks, such as documenting patient visits. Healthcare was among the first industries to put AI to work in a practical way. From operating rooms to research laboratories to billing departments, AI is becoming widely integrated into the workflows of healthcare organizations. GenAI appears to be the most recent catalyst. The accessibility of GenAI models, Forrester's Germain noted, has contributed to patient and healthcare employee adoption of AI-assisted services. A majority of healthcare systems use AI, according to the "AI Adoption and Healthcare Report 2024" released late last year by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) in partnership with Medscape. The HIMSS survey of IT and medical professionals found that 86% of hospitals and health systems use AI and that 43% had been using the technology for at least one year -- a significant increase from just 19% of hospitals reported in a 2022 American Hospital Association survey. AI systems benefit several areas of healthcare, including diagnostics, patient treatments, administration and patient experience. AI's ability to ingest and analyze massive volumes of raw and unstructured data, from medical images and blood work to emergent data -- i.e., data inferred from non-healthcare records like social media and search queries -- means that healthcare providers can be alerted to a potential disease or illness far earlier than by direct human examination. By shortening diagnostic times, patient treatments can be faster, less intrusive and less expensive. AI can also double-check human diagnoses and cross-check treatments or medications against available digital health records and patient profiles, potentially reducing diagnostic errors, avoiding unnecessary or ineffective treatments and preventing dangerous drug interactions. What to expect when estimating the total cost of a healthcare AI project. AI used in genomics to provide speed and accuracy in drug target discovery, disease modeling, disease detection and gene therapy holds promise for mainstreaming personalized and precise medicine in the future. AI genomics tools could be combined to potentially make genomics data more accessible, enhance various aspects of health research and open new opportunities for discovery in many key health science-related areas, including dark DNA, spatial biology, gene editing and omics, which entails the various disciplines of biology relating to genomics. Healthcare providers and office staff are often so overwhelmed with burdensome paperwork that patient interactions can suffer, making health services frustrating and disappointing for many patients. Using AI in clinical documentation, for example, has helped Dr. Erin Leeseberg, a staff physician at Indiana University's Student Health Center, work more efficiently on behalf of her patients. She noted that her use of Sunoh.ai's product has reduced her clinical note-taking chores by 5 to 15 minutes per patient. "One of the most important things is being able to get my work done in a timely manner and having a good work-life balance," she said. "It's been a really positive experience." AI capabilities can also improve several aspects of healthcare administration, including the following: Enhanced scheduling capabilities, using natural language chatbots to make, change or cancel appointments and answer basic medical questions.
Interactive assistance with medical billing issues, including patient financial obligations like copays and financing costs not covered by health insurance.
More accurate billing and faster, more comprehensive patient record management by tracking medical procedures and applying proper coding.
Predictive analysis for patient visits, records, care and billing to uncover potential healthcare fraud or illegitimate activity.
Oversight to ensure only authorized users can access patient data and that any uses of the data are conducted securely, ethically and in compliance with regulatory obligations.
What challenges are associated with using AI in healthcare? Poorly managed AI deployments could result in several dangerous side effects, including biased data, security breaches, patient privacy violations and disrupted staff-patient communications. And ill-conceived and hastily executed projects are unlikely to generate ROI. To realize the full benefits of AI in healthcare, there are several hurdles healthcare organizations must overcome as they cope with the ethical use of data, regulatory obligations like HIPAA, safeguarding protected health information and potential liability issues. Understanding AI The foremost obstacle for healthcare organizations considering AI adoption is grasping the essentials of the technology and developing an AI strategy and vision. The two main objectives of an AI strategy should be to make business operations more efficient and develop new sources of revenue. Given the cost of a typical AI project, it's best to select an AI deployment with the greatest ROI potential. But a major sticking point is defining the parameters for success and measuring ROI. "Historically, organizations have not been great about measuring success from the beginning, baselining and tracking to make sure that the hypothesis behind the deployment of the AI or GenAI tool is actually realizing the value we anticipated," Deloitte consultant Dr. Bill Fera acknowledged. An AI governance structure of relevant stakeholders, including clinicians, business leaders and finance executives, can help healthcare organizations identify use cases, deploy projects and track their progress. That structure, however, shouldn't come at the cost of stifling innovation. Obtaining quality data Another ongoing challenge is data -- and the fragmentation of it in most organizations. Fragmentation makes data difficult to use in AI models and can lead to poor outcomes. Providers, payers, pharmacies and testing laboratories use a multitude of standards to house data, forcing healthcare organizations to expend enormous effort gathering, cleaning and harmonizing their data so it's reliable and AI can make sense of it. Two keys to successful AI implementation are using the right data and measuring results. Data fairness, privacy and security Ethical AI use aims to ensure healthcare AI models don't reflect bias that could skew data to the detriment of racial or ethnic groups. In addition to ethical considerations, healthcare organizations must factor regulatory compliance into their AI projects. The security and privacy of AI models call for appropriate boundaries. Security and patient data privacy should be integrated into AI systems during -- not after -- the time they're built. Another data privacy issue is "bring your own AI" (BYOAI), when employees use their own AI tools, such as chatbot interfaces, for various tasks that involve sensitive information, instead of relying solely on AI tools provided or approved by IT. "BYOAI," Germain warned, "has to be managed closely and dealt with because of the ethical, responsible and safety implications, especially in healthcare." Change management New ways of doing business come with fears of obsolescent skills and vastly changed -- or eliminated -- roles, so employee training and change management are key, including AI literacy programs, hands-on training and industry certification. Organizations must consider the effects of AI on patients and their families as well as on healthcare workers. Patient outcomes could be compromised if AI disrupts the daily interactions among the parties. Monitoring AI performance Smaller healthcare practices might be at a disadvantage compared with large hospitals and health systems. Community-based, rural or federally qualified health centers often lack strong AI governance or the expertise to monitor AI system performance. Providers, payers and life science entities can overcome the challenges of AI integration by focusing on ethics, security, data quality and user adoption to keep initiatives on track, along with a strategy that incorporates clearly stated goals and reliable methods to track progress.

We are hearing many founders say they are delaying hiring more people because their current team + AI tooling can do much more work than expected.
|
Software startups that raised Series A rounds in 2022 typically had an average of 22 full-time, equity holding employees. Companies raising an A in 2024 had only 15.
Now, it would be inaccurate to pin the entirety of this decline on AI. Much of it has to do with funding drying up and founders getting religion on capital efficiency. ARR per employee demands from the VCs have a way of focusing the mind.
But we are hearing many founders say they are delaying hiring more people because their current team + AI tooling can do much more work than expected. Delay those hires long enough and boom, AI takes jobs.
No final conclusions yet.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Team sizes are getting smaller across all deal stages
AI may be the driving factor
But the recent tight funding environment might also be a contributing factor

4 Factors to Consider Before Hiring an AI Engineer · 1. Clearly defining project scope · 2. Choosing remote or on-site hiring · 3. Budgeting and cost ...
|
AI in business might just be our industrial revolution. We’re seeing it reshape entire industries, from healthcare to finance. And it’s only the beginning. However, as businesses race to leverage AI, many struggle to hire AI engineers who can turn AI potential into real results.
This guide is here to change that. You’ll get a clear understanding of what an AI engineer actually does, why you might need one, and how to go about hiring AI engineers successfully.
Hire the wrong person, and you could be setting yourself up for costly mistakes. Get it right, and your business could be at the forefront of the AI revolution.
What Is an AI Engineer?
AI engineering has surprisingly humble beginnings. Back in the 1950s, Alan Turing famously wondered whether machines could actually think. Fast-forward to today, and an AI engineer is the expert in making Turing’s vision a reality.
But what does an AI engineer do exactly? At its core, this role involves building and implementing artificial intelligence systems. These professionals create sophisticated AI models and algorithms that allow software to learn from data, make decisions, and solve real-world problems. An AI engineer might develop a recommendation system for your favorite streaming service or design the algorithms powering autonomous vehicles.
What sets AI engineers apart from typical developers is their unique blend of skills. They combine data science, programming know-how, and advanced mathematics to teach machines how to learn. They also focus on creating practical, scalable AI solutions, meaning the technology doesn’t just look good on paper but actually works in everyday scenarios.
Signs Your Business Needs an AI Engineer
Not every tech project requires an AI engineer, but there are clear signs when it’s the right move for your business.
Maybe you’re looking to scale your existing AI products, automate complex processes, or embed artificial intelligence into your current software. These are situations where you’ll directly see the benefits of hiring an AI engineer.
For instance, suppose your business has lots of data but struggles to make sense of it. In that case, an AI engineer can develop predictive models to turn your raw information into actionable insights.
If your goal is to build software capable of independent learning, like recommendation engines or automated chatbots, you’ll also need an AI specialist.
It’s easy to confuse AI and software engineering. But there’s a key difference. A software engineer typically focuses on building general-purpose applications and handling technical infrastructure.
On the other hand, an AI engineer specializes in creating intelligent systems capable of learning, adapting, and improving over time.
They’re deeply familiar with machine learning techniques and algorithms, something traditional developers don’t usually cover.
Similarly, if your main issue is getting better outputs from generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, you might consider hiring a prompt engineer instead.
However, for designing, scaling, and deploying AI-driven technology solutions, bringing an AI developer onto your team is almost always the best choice.
4 Factors to Consider Before Hiring an AI Engineer
Hiring an AI engineer isn’t just about posting a job and waiting for applicants. There are several key factors you need to consider to make sure that you make the right choice. By evaluating these four areas, you’ll be able to set realistic expectations and find the best fit for your project.
1. Clearly defining project scope
Before you dive into hiring, you’ll want to define the project scope. What are you asking the AI engineer to accomplish? Are you integrating AI into an existing product, or are you looking to build something entirely new from scratch? The scope of your project will directly impact the skills and experience you need in an AI engineer.
Clarifying these goals upfront will prevent confusion and costly missteps later on, giving your new hires a clear understanding of their responsibilities from day one.
2. Choosing remote or on-site hiring
Deciding whether your AI engineer should work remotely or in the office significantly affects your talent pool and daily operations.
Remote hiring offers substantial advantages, such as access to a global pool of specialized candidates and lower overall hiring costs.
However, it also comes with challenges, including communication barriers, potential time zone differences, and collaboration complexities, depending on where you hire. Many businesses prefer hiring remotely once they’ve established clear processes for managing distributed teams.
In contrast, on-site engineers simplify collaboration and improve real-time problem-solving. Yet, limiting your search geographically often means increased competition and higher salaries.
If you’re leaning toward remote work, having a structured plan for hiring a remote AI engineer means a smoother integration into your existing workflow.
3. Budgeting and cost expectations
Budget is an important consideration because AI engineer salaries vary greatly depending on location. For example, in the US, talented generative AI engineers regularly command six-figure salaries due to high competition.
In our experience, here’s how much you might save by choosing an offshore region such as Latin America:
The significant difference between salaries stems from local living costs and regional talent availability. Many businesses strategically choose to hire offshore or nearshore AI engineers to access highly skilled professionals at a lower cost, stretching their budgets further.
Understanding these cost dynamics helps you allocate your resources effectively and realistically plan your hiring budget.
4. Choosing the right hiring method
Finally, you’ll need to select your hiring method. You could choose the DIY approach, using job boards or freelance platforms, but this requires significant time and effort to screen applicants effectively.
An alternative is to partner with specialized AI staffing companies that streamline the hiring process for you. Staffing agencies have deep experience sourcing candidates with specialized skills, quickly matching your company with qualified AI talent.
Given how competitive the market is, partnering with recruitment specialists often leads to faster hiring timelines and better candidate quality, ultimately allowing your business to move forward confidently in its AI initiatives.
Essential Skills Every AI Engineer Should Have
Hiring the right AI engineer means knowing exactly which skills to look for.
Here are the main skills every AI engineer should bring to the table:
Programming languages (Python, Java, R): Python is the go-to language for AI development, but Java and R also play important roles, especially in big data and statistical modeling projects.
Python is the go-to language for AI development, but Java and R also play important roles, especially in big data and statistical modeling projects. Machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch): These frameworks help develop neural networks and deep learning models. A solid understanding of at least one of them is essential for any AI engineer.

The ability to break down large problems into manageable steps is key to success.
AI engineers are faced with complex problems that require critical thinking and innovative solutions. The ability to break down large problems into manageable steps is key to success. Communication and collaboration abilities: AI engineers need to effectively communicate complex technical details to non-technical team members and stakeholders. They must also collaborate across teams to make sure that their solutions meet business needs.
Finally, strong communication and collaboration abilities are essential. AI engineers need skills like flexibility, active listening, and effective teamwork to turn technical insights into actionable business outcomes.
How to Successfully Hire an AI Engineer
Hiring the right AI engineer requires a structured approach.
Step 1: Define the AI engineer role clearly
Start by clearly defining the role and responsibilities of your future AI engineer. Vague descriptions often attract the wrong candidates, costing valuable time. Be specific about the technologies they’ll work with, expected outcomes, and the types of problems they’ll solve.
For example, instead of a generic job ad, clearly state something like: “Develop and implement predictive machine learning models to forecast customer behavior in our e-commerce app.” To simplify this process, you can use our free job description generator.
Step 2: Decide on your hiring location and model
At this point, you need to make a clear decision on your hiring approach.
Will you build an in-office US team or tap into global talent pools?
The US option gives you face-to-face collaboration but comes with the talent shortage and cost challenges we’ve discussed. The offshore route—particularly with Latin America’s time zone alignment—lets you access specialized skills while significantly reducing costs.
Also determine whether you’ll handle recruitment directly or work with a specialized partner. Having your hiring approach settled early streamlines everything that follows, from budgeting to interview logistics.
Step 3: Source and screen candidates
If you’re handling hiring in-house, screening is critical. Focus on resumes that show hands-on work with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch, plus experience in data modeling and real-world AI deployment.
Certifications and academic projects are helpful, but actual shipped products and performance metrics are more valuable.
Make sure candidates can demonstrate a working knowledge of AI architecture and show clear contributions to past AI projects.
If you’re partnering with a recruiter or staffing agency, the good news is they’ll do most of this legwork for you. A specialized partner will already know what to look for and can bring you a shortlist of vetted candidates who match your technical and cultural requirements.
Step 4: Conduct effective interviews
Interviewing an AI engineer goes beyond basic technical questions. While it’s essential to test their understanding of machine learning concepts, neural networks, and programming proficiency, you also want to evaluate their ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
For example, you could ask: “How would you explain machine learning to someone with no technical background?” or “Can you walk me through a time when you had to simplify an AI-driven solution for stakeholders?”
This makes sure that you’re not just hiring a technically capable engineer but also someone who can collaborate effectively across your business.
Step 5: Negotiate and finalize the hire
Once you’ve found your AI engineer, don’t fumble at the finish line. The way you handle this final stage sets the tone for your entire working relationship.
If you’re hiring in the US, be prepared for the competitive reality of AI talent and make an offer that will be attractive.
For international hires, do your homework on local market rates. What’s competitive varies dramatically by region, and understanding these differences helps you make an attractive offer without overpaying.
This is where working with a recruitment partner pays off—they’ll have current insights on what constitutes a competitive package in specific markets, including both salary expectations and standard benefits like vacation time, bonuses, or flexible schedules.
Make your expectations crystal clear from day one. Outline specific projects they’ll tackle first, who they’ll be working with, and how success will be measured. The best AI engineers want to know their work matters, not just that they’re filling a seat.
Finally, have a solid onboarding plan ready before they start. Schedule regular check-ins for the first few weeks, assign them a go-to person for questions, and make sure they have access to all the tools and documentation they’ll need. This upfront investment pays off in faster productivity and better retention.
Final Thoughts
Hiring an AI engineer is a big step that can shape how your business builds and applies intelligent systems. The right person brings more than technical skills—they bring ideas to life, solve real problems, and help your team move faster and smarter.
At Near, we help US companies tap into top-tier AI talent across Latin America. It’s a smart way to find skilled engineers without stretching your budget. Our candidates bring the ML expertise, programming skills, and problem-solving abilities you need, along with the cultural alignment and time zone compatibility that make collaboration seamless.

How AI can solve retailers' summer hiring challenges

Using AI agents, hiring teams can rely on science-powered AI to reason and adapt in real-time, even when unexpected challenges arise. Not only does this help ...
|
Summer is peak season for many retailers, and hiring seasonal workers to meet that demand is critical. But with the pressure to find quality candidates in a short amount of time, summer hiring can be very challenging for talent teams. In the past, they had to muddle through this high-stress process, crossing their fingers that they’d hired the right people.
But thanks to the rise of AI, that story is changing. Today, hiring tools can help retail businesses move faster and hire better, even when applicant volume is at its highest.
Here are some of the biggest summer hiring challenges for the retail sector, and how AI can help solve them.
Challenge #1: High application volume under tight deadlines
One of the biggest hurdles for recruiters during the summer hiring season is the time crunch. Hiring teams are suddenly tasked with reviewing a flood of applications, screening candidates, and scheduling interviews — all within a very short time. And with the traditional hiring process often taking anywhere from 2 weeks to 60 days, it’s just not built for the kind of speed seasonal hiring needs.
How AI Helps: With AI-powered hiring tools, teams can automatically assess large volumes of applicants in a fraction of the time, quickly identifying the best matches based on role-specific skills and
qualifications. Using AI agents, hiring teams can rely on science-powered AI to reason and adapt in real-time, even when unexpected challenges arise. Not only does this help get the right candidates to the right roles much faster, but it frees up recruiters to prioritize top candidates and get them in the door much faster.
Challenge #2: Low applicant engagement and high drop-off rates
It’s no secret that many application processes are tedious and frustrating for candidates. From creating new usernames and passwords to re-entering the same information in an ATS already on their resume, candidates are often met with roadblock after roadblock. It’s no wonder that 92% of applicants drop off after clicking “apply.”
This is bad enough during regular hiring cycles. But for seasonal hires, hiring teams can’t take that chance. They need a fast, efficient experience where candidates are guided through a process and left feeling like their time truly matters.
How AI helps: Acting as a digital recruiter, AI tools ensure that every candidate feels seen and supported, even when human recruiters aren’t available. That means there is no lag time or long, drawn-out processes. An AI-powered communicator can chat with a candidate, learn and adjust responses based on the candidate’s needs, and screen them to ensure they can move onto the next stage of the process, just like a human would. All the while, candidates are constantly engaged, significantly reducing the drop-off rate.
Challenge #3: Finding candidates that will excel in the role
Retail talent teams only have a short window to bring summer hires on board, and while the job might be temporary, the stakes are high. A mis-hire can slow the entire operation during the busiest season.
And yet, it’s not just about filling roles quickly — it’s about finding candidates who will thrive. You need dependable, adaptable team members who can learn fast, work well under pressure, and positively represent your brand.
How AI Helps: Rather than manually sorting through stacks of resumes (hoping to infer the right skills), recruiters can now use science-backed assessments to evaluate candidates on the qualities that matter most — like adaptability, reliability, and customer service skills. With a library of validated assessments, talent teams can screen a high volume of applicants in less than 20 minutes, giving them a crystal-clear view of who’s ready to hit the ground running. It’s faster, smarter, and built for the pace of seasonal hiring.
Challenge #4: Scaling hiring efforts with a lean team
Summer hiring season brings a big challenge: already-busy talent teams are suddenly expected to handle a surge of seasonal hires on top of their regular workload. With limited time and resources, how can they juggle it all without burning out?
How AI Helps: Think of AI as an extension of your recruiting team. It can chat with candidates, assess their skills, schedule interviews, and even conduct on-demand interviews around the clock. All while your team focuses on the high-impact work only humans can do, like nurturing relationships and making smart hiring decisions. There’s no question that HR professionals who use AI see faster hiring — 52% faster, according to our 2025 Global Guide to Hiring. But beyond speed, they also save hours of talent team time.
Challenge #5: Inconsistent and subjective hiring decisions
When hiring teams are under pressure to fill roles quickly, it’s tempting to rely on gut instinct — choosing the candidate who seems charming, who interviews well, or who just feels like a “good fit.” It’s human nature.
But hiring based on personality or personal connection can unintentionally sideline incredibly qualified candidates who simply didn’t have the chance to shine in a rushed or subjective process.
How AI Helps: AI takes the guesswork out of hiring by focusing on what really matters: a candidate’s skills, not their resume polish or where they went to school. With standardized assessments and structured interviews, every applicant is evaluated on the same criteria,
ensuring a more level playing field. The result is a more fair process that gives more people a shot and helps hiring teams uncover the right fit for the role, faster and more confidently.

Anthropic CEO: AI Poised to Wipe Out 50% of Entry-Level Jobs in Next 5 Years
|
https://www.pcmag.com
|
[] |
AI could wipe out up to 50% of all entry-level jobs while spiking unemployment to 10-20% in as little as one to five years, he says.
|
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is confident AI will be a bloodbath for white-collar jobs, and warns that society is not acknowledging this reality.
AI could wipe out up to 50% of all entry-level jobs while spiking unemployment to 10-20% in as little as one to five years, he says. Unemployment is 4.2% in the US as of April 2025.
"We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming," Amodei tells Axios. "I don't think this is on people's radar."

Anthropic makes the popular Claude chatbot. Last week it released its fourth-generation AI models with superior coding skills that potentially could automate entry-level software engineering roles, or at least part of them.
In another interview with Fox News, Amodei said AI will also automate jobs in finance, consulting, and tech, which could alter the job market for college graduates, young professionals, and mid-career changers alike.
"I've been working on AI for 10 years, and the thing I've noticed most about it is how fast it's making progress. Two years ago it was at the level of a smart high school student, now it's at the level of a smart college student and reaching beyond [that]," Amodei says.
The job apocalypse is already beginning to unfold, he adds, and corporate leaders are privately preparing for it as OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft improve their AI tools.

"This message hasn't been getting out to ordinary people, to our legislators," he tells Fox News. "I felt I needed to speak up on the record. We can prevent this, but we need to act now." He suggests starting with properly measuring the impact of AI, and using that data to shape policies.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly warned Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) privately that AI could automate 70% of jobs, according to PYMNTS. In a public blog post, he admitted, "the long-term changes to our society and economy will be huge. We will find new things to do...but they may not look very much like the jobs of today."
The wholesale job loss will feel like it happens overnight, Amodei says, reordering society en masse as savings-focused business leaders lay off workers and backfill jobs with AI agents.
(Job loss is difficult, even for an AI, it turns out. When an engineer threatened to take Claude 4 offline, it blackmailed him with knowledge of an extramarital affair.)
Meanwhile, the US government remains focused on preventing China from becoming an AI superpower. Amodei agrees that's a threat, but says it's not an excuse for failing to warn the public about the effects of the technology or implementing smart regulations. He calls out the government, as well as his fellow AI companies, for "sugar-coating" what's to come.
He's right that the Trump administration is focused on assuaging fears about AI, promoting its adoption and slashing regulations. The pending "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" allocates billions of dollars to boost AI adoption across the government and puts in place a surprising 10-year moratorium on state-level regulations. The idea behind the extended pause is to prevent a patchwork of regulations that make it difficult for tech companies to implement their products nationwide. The bill narrowly passed the House and is now with the Senate.
Amodei, who stands to profit off this AI apocalypse, says his conflict of interest doesn't mean he's wrong. He supports AI regulation, like California's AI Safety Bill, although Gov. Gavin Newsom ultimately vetoed it. To the skeptics who say AI leaders who warn of doomsday scenarios are just hyping up their own technology, Amodei says they should ask themselves: "Well, what if they're right?"

AI is a tool to boost productivity, not to take anyone's job, according to the script many CEOs have been using.
Behind closed doors, it's a very different conversation, said two software investors on an episode of the "Twenty Minute VC" podcast published Thursday.
"Public companies are trying to prepare their teams for it, but the backlash was too strong," said Jason Lemkin, an investor in software startups.
Instead, CEOs fall back on the safer line: "In fact, we're hiring."
"That seems to take the edge off," Lemkin said.
"But I think they're just walking back the fact that everybody knows they don't need 30% to 40% of the team they have today. Everybody says this," he added.
"It's too hard for people to hear. There's only so much honesty you can get from a CEO," he said.
Rory O'Driscoll, a longtime general partner at Scale Venture Partners, said CEOs can't talk about job loss because employees will "lose their shit."
He said what ends up getting shared publicly is a "very bland statement" full of "standard corporate speak for how you talk about AI."
"No one is going to get fired. You're just going to do more interesting things," O'Driscoll said. "That's the current state of the lie."
From Klarna to Duolingo, several companies have tested the waters with bold AI declarations — only to backtrack.
Klarna' CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, said in December that AI "can already do all of the jobs" humans do, and that the company has stopped hiring for over a year.
But earlier this month, he walked it back, saying his pursuit of AI-driven job cuts may have gone too far.

Duolingo's CEO, Luis von Ahn, also faced criticism after posting a memo on LinkedIn last month describing plans to make the company "AI-first."
He later said on LinkedIn that he does not see AI replacing what his employees do and that Duolingo is "continuing to hire at the same speed as before."
Lemkin and O'Driscoll did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
Layoffs are happening
Lemkin said mass layoffs could hit in the next two years as companies come to terms with a new reality. He added that he expects overall headcount to "stay flat."
There will be "efficiencies" and also "jobs that would have existed in the absence of this product that won't exist now," said O'Driscoll. "So there will be tension."
O'Driscoll said he sees a gradual shift — more of a "steady grind" of 2% to 3% less hiring each year.
Tech companies, in particular, will see "significantly reduced hiring", he added.
Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, said on Thursday that AI could soon eliminate 50% of entry-level office jobs.
AI companies and the government need to stop "sugarcoating" the risks of mass job elimination in fields including technology, finance, law, and consulting, Amodei said.

In April, the US tech industry lost 214,000 positions as companies shifted toward AI roles and skills-based hiring amid economic uncertainty. Tech sector ...
|
Tech layoffs have continued in 2025. Much of that is being blamed on a combination of a slower economy and the adoption of automation via artificial intelligence.
Nearly four in 10 Americans, for instance, believe generative AI (genAI) could diminish the number of available jobs as it advances, according to a study released in October by the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
And the World Economic Forum’s Jobs Initiative study found that close to half (44%) of worker skills will be disrupted in the next five years — and 40% of tasks will be affected by the use of genAI tools and the large language models (LLMs) that underpin them.
In April, the US tech industry lost 214,000 positions as companies shifted toward AI roles and skills-based hiring amid economic uncertainty. Tech sector companies reduced staffing by a net 7,000 positions in April, an analysis of data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed.
This year, 137 tech companies have fired 62,114 tech employees, according to Layoffs.fyi. Efforts to reduce headcount at government agencies by the unofficial US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) saw an additional 61,296 federal workers fired this year.
Kye Mitchell, president of tech workforce staffing firm Experis US, believes the IT employment market is undergoing a fundamental transformation rather than experiencing traditional cyclical layoffs. Although Experis is seeing a 13% month-over-month decline in traditional software developer postings, it doesn’t represent “job destruction, it’s market evolution,” Mitchell said.
“What we’re witnessing is the emergence of strategic technology orchestrators who harness AI to drive unprecedented business value,” she said.
For example, organizations that once deployed two scrum teams of ten people to develop high-quality software are now achieving superior results with a single team of five AI-empowered developers.
“This isn’t about cutting jobs; it’s about elevating roles,” Mitchell said.
Specialized roles in particular are surging. Database architect positions are up 2,312%, statistician roles have increased 382%, and jobs for mathematicians have increased 1,272%. “These aren’t replacements; they’re vital for an AI-driven future,” she said.
In fact, it’s an IT talent gap, not an employee surplus, that is now challenging organizations — and will continue to do so.
With 76% of IT employers already struggling to find skilled tech talent, the market fundamentals favor skilled professionals, according to Mitchell. “The question isn’t whether there will be IT jobs — it’s whether we can develop the right skills fast enough to meet demand,” she said.
For federal tech workers, outdated systems and slow procurement make it hard to attract and keep top tech talent. Agencies expect fast team deployment but operate with rigid, outdated processes, according to Justin Vianello, CEO of technology workforce development firm SkillStorm.
Long security clearance delays add cost and time, often forcing companies to hire expensive, already-cleared talent. Meanwhile, modern technologists want to use current tools and make an impact — something hard to do with legacy systems and decade-long modernization efforts, he added.
Many suggest turning to AI to will solve the tech talent shortage, but there is no evidence that AI will lead to a reduction in demand for tech talent, Vianello said. “On the contrary, companies see that the demand for tech talent has increased as they invest in preparing their workforce to properly use AI tools,” he said.
A shortage of qualified talent is a bigger barrier to hiring than AI automation, he said, because organizations struggle to find candidates with the right certifications, skills, and clearances — especially in cloud, cybersecurity, and AI. Tech workers often lack skills in these areas because technology evolves faster than education and training can keep up, Vianello said. And while AI helps automate routine tasks, it can’t replace the strategic roles filled by skilled professionals.
Seven out of 10 US organizations are struggling to find skilled workers to fill roles in an ever-evolving digital transformation landscape, and genAI has added to that headache, according to a ManpowerGroup survey released earlier this year.
Job postings for AI skills surged 2,000% in 2024, but education and training in this area haven’t kept pace, according to Kelly Stratman, global ecosystem relationships enablement leader at Ernst & Young.
“As formal education and training in AI skills still lag, it results in a shortage of AI talent that can effectively manage these technologies and demands,” she said in an earlier interview. “The AI talent shortage is most prominent among highly technical roles like data scientists/analysts, machine learning engineers, and software developers.”
Economic uncertainty is creating a cautious hiring environment, but it’s more complex than tariffs alone. Experis data shows employers adopting a “wait and watch” stance as they monitor economic signals, with job openings down 11% year-over-year, according to Mitchell.
“However, the bigger story is strategic workforce planning in an era of rapid technological change. Companies are being incredibly precise about where they allocate resources. Not because of economic pressure alone, but because the skills landscape is shifting so rapidly,” Mitchell said. “They’re prioritizing mission-critical roles while restructuring others around AI capabilities.”
Top organizations see AI as a strategic shift, not just cost-cutting. Cutting talent now risks weakening core areas like cybersecurity, according to Mitchell.
Skillstorm’s Vianello suggests that IT job hunters should begin to upgrade their skills with certifications that matter: AWS, Azure, CISSP, Security+, and AI/ML credentials open doors quickly, he said.
“Veterans, in particular, have an edge; they bring leadership, discipline, and security clearances. Apprenticeships and fellowships offer a fast track into full-time roles by giving you experience that actually counts. And don’t overlook the intangibles: soft skills and project leadership are what elevate technologists into impact-makers,” Vianello said.
Skills-based hiring has been on the rise for several years, as organizations seek to fill specific needs for big data analytics, programing (such as Rust), and AI prompt engineering. In fact, demand for genAI courses is surging, passing all other tech skills courses spanning fields from data science to cybersecurity, project management, and marketing.
“AI isn’t replacing jobs — it’s fundamentally redefining how work gets done. The break point where technology truly displaces a position is when roughly 80% of tasks can be fully automated,” Mitchell said. “We’re nowhere near that threshold for most roles. Instead, we’re seeing AI augment skill sets and make professionals more capable, faster, and able to focus on higher-value work.”
Leaders use AI as a strategic enabler — embedding it to enhance, not compete with, human developers, she said.
Some industry forecasts predict a 30% productivity boost from AI tools, potentially adding more than $1.5 trillion to global GDP.
For example, AI tools are expected to perform the lion’s share of coding. Techniques where humans use AI-augmented coding tools, such as “vibe coding,” are set to revolutionize software development by creating source code, generating tests automatically, and freeing up developer time for innovation instead of debugging code.
With vibe coding, developers use natural language in a conversational way that prompts the AI model to offer contextual ideas and generate code based on the conversation.
By 2028, 75% of professional developers will be using vibe coding and other genAI-powered coding tools, up from less than 10% in September 2023, according to Gartner Research. And within three years, 80% of enterprises will have integrated AI-augmented testing tools into their software engineering tool chain — a significant increase from approximately 15% early last year, Gartner said.
A report from MIT Technology Review Insights found that 94% of business leaders now use genAI in software development, with 82% applying it in multiple stages — and 26% in four or more.
Some industry experts place genAI’s use in creating code much higher. “What we are finding is that we’re three to six 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,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a recent report and video interview.
“The real [AI] transformation is in role evolution. Developers are becoming strategic technology orchestrators,” Mitchell from Experis said. “Data professionals are becoming business problem solvers. The demand isn’t disappearing; it’s becoming more sophisticated and more valuable.
“In today’s economic climate, having the right tech talent with AI-enhanced capabilities isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s your competitive edge,” she said.

Business Insider is "going all-in on AI" and plans to lay off 21% of its staff in a pivot to AI and live events.
|
For years, Silicon Valley has been telling the public that AI will be huge. They say it’s unstoppable and that we better get used to it, even though it is a money loser, only helpful for making fascist art, environmentally destructive, and can’t even give users the correct date. Nevertheless, even though these things are inaccurate, biased, and prone to hallucinating, Business Insider, using the forethought of a goldfish, is cutting 21% of its staff and “going all-in on AI” and live events, CEO Barbara Peng announced in an email to employees today. We hope no one depends on Business Insider for accurate information because it’s about to look like the Chicago Sun-Times’ sloppy and embarrassing summer reading guide filled with fake books.
In a statement, the Insider Union called the layoffs by the multi-billion-dollar European media firm Axel Springer, which also owns Politico, a “brazen pivot away from journalism toward greed.”
“Let’s be clear: This is far from anything new,” the Union’s statement reads. “This is the third round of layoffs in as many years, and it is unacceptable that union members and other talented coworkers are again paying the price for the strategic failures of Business Insider‘s leadership.”
Nevertheless, Peng reports that “over 70% of Business Insider employees are already using Enterprise ChatGPT regularly (our goal is 100%), and we’re building prompt libraries and sharing everyday use cases that help us work faster, smarter, and better.” Despite it being a really cool move to plug a different company in the layoff email, Business Insider should share some of those use cases because the world still wants to know what ChatGPT is for other than helping the lonely talk to themselves and spreading misinformation. Still, it’s nice to know that some of Business Insider‘s coverage will be bolstered by plagiarism.
“Shockingly, in the same email announcing layoffs, management also says it’s ‘going all-in on AI,’ patting themselves on the back about AI use in our newsroom,” the Union continues. “To say this was tone-deaf to include in an email on layoffs is an understatement. Our position as a union is that no AI tool or technology should—or can—take the place of human beings.”
Don’t worry, there’s more vague AI boosterism in the email, with Peng saying they’ve “launched multiple AI-driven products to better serve our audiences—from gen-AI onsite search to AI-powered paywall.” We’re going to need a breather after reading the words that every CEO dreams of hearing: “AI-powered paywall.”
Feel free to read the whole letter on Business Insider, but from one website that needlessly humiliated itself with inaccurate and widely despised AI-generated articles to another, good luck with all that!

A 2025 report reveals a rise in remote layoffs. Most employees receive layoff notices via email or phone. Cost-cutting, restructuring, and AI adoption drive ...
|
Remote layoffs are now the new norm
29% received the layoff notice via email
28% via phone call
Only 30% had an in-person meeting
6% learned of it via internal rumors or office gossip
5% were told through video conferencing tools
Emotional impact & company culture
Why companies are laying off in 2025
The first is the cost-cutting measures of the company, which are around 54%
45% of the companies lay off employees based on Organizational restructuring
Big IT companies and tech giants have given Poor financial performance as a reason for mass layoffs
Few companies have said mergers and acquisitions are important for better output
Most companies want to automate and use AI instead of a human workforce. As of now, 32% of companies have laid off employees on this basis
Only 5% of employees have been laid off due to work performance
How employees feel & what they want
Takeaway for tech professionals
As the wave of mass layoffs in 2025 continues to affect professionals across industries, a new report sheds light on the changing nature of job loss. According to the 2025 Layoff Experience Report, 57% of laid-off employees said they were notified through email or phone rather than in a face-to-face meeting.The reports were based on responses from over 1,000 professionals working in different fields. In the last two years, a stark picture has emerged of how companies are handling workforce reductions during a volatile period.We can say that remote layoffs are the new way in the global job market.The report found that 70% of professionals experienced layoffs in the last six months, with 19% losing their jobs in the previous 30 days. Of those surveyed:These numbers show the rise of digital layoff communication, which reflects both a shift in remote work and the urgency among companies to cut costs.The new remote layoffs certainly impact the employees and reflect the company's values. The report mentioned the emotional side of the employee and how layoffs create long-term implications for morale and mental ability.It not only impacts the employee but also harms the company culture and brand perception. It makes employees feel they are not worth the time and damages their future working potential.The reports identify several key drivers of recent layoffs:These numbers show that macro factors, not employee output, drive many layoffs. In the wave of automation and AI development, big firms are somehow undervaluing employees' contributions and skills.The emotional toll of a layoff is significant on employees. While the reports mentioned that many expected their layoffs, a few were completely blindsided. It shows the global job market's uncertainty and how employees must keep upskilling themselves to stay in the race.Interestingly, 90% of the employees said they would consider returning to their former companies, which shows how layoffs are handled and how they impact professionals.2025 is marked by AI adoption and organizational shifts. The reports suggest that how companies manage layoffs can determine their future employer branding. With rising awareness about ethical offboarding, there's a growing expectation that teams show empathy, offer career support, and handle layoffs with dignity rather than cold communication.In India's growing tech landscape, it is the chance and duty of all companies to show transparency, trust, and better practices, which can lead to better relationships between employees and their respective organizations.

Business Insider's layoffs impact 21% of staff as the company focuses heavily on AI, shifts strategy, and faces backlash, a "brazen pivot away from ...
|
Business Insider on Thursday announced that the company will be shrinking the size of its newsroom and making layoffs, impacting over a fifth of its staff.
"We are reducing the size of our organization, a move that will impact about 21% of our colleagues and touch every department," Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng said in an internal memo obtained by Fox News Digital. "This will be a difficult day, and our first priority is to provide clarity and support to those colleagues whose roles are being eliminated."
Peng announced 18 months ago a new strategy centered on being the leading outlet for journalism on innovation, tech and business.
WASHINGTON POST 'RUDDERLESS' AS BEZOS' PAPER ENGULFED BY LAYOFFS, TALENT EXODUS AHEAD OF TRUMP'S SECOND TERM
"Since Jamie Heller joined as EIC at the end of last year, we’ve made great progress — we've sharpened our standards and are shifting towards more reporting that is authoritative and matters deeply to the people who read it," Peng said. "We’ve doubled the amount of original reporting we publish and have substantially increased engagement in the past months."
The outlet will also be "exiting the majority of our Commerce business, given its reliance on search, and maintaining a few high performing verticals," as well as launching a platform called BI Live, which they say will be an area for promoting their journalism and connecting directly with their readers.
Peng added that the company is "fully embracing AI ," as 70% of the company’s staff currently uses Enterprise ChatGPT, with a goal of 100%.
"In the past year, we’ve launched multiple AI-driven products to better serve our audience — from gen-AI onsite search to our AI-powered paywall — with new products set to launch in the coming months," Peng said in the memo.
She said they are looking at how AI "can boost operations across shared services, helping us scale and operate more efficiently. Change like this isn’t easy. But Business Insider was born in a time of disruption — when the smartphone was reshaping how people consumed news. We thrived by taking risks and building something new."

Peng told her staff that the changes will "take time to process."
Staff were directed to discuss the changes during team meetings on Thursday morning.
A statement from the Insider Union and The NewsGuild of New York decried the layoffs, specifically calling out Axel Springer, a German publisher that owns Business Insider.
"Axel Springer is a multi-billion dollar firm whose digital outlets and media businesses generate the majority of its revenue," the statement read. "The layoffs of our talented co-workers and union members is another example of Axel Springer’s brazen pivot away from journalism toward greed."
Fox News Digital reached out to Business Insider for comment, and were referred back to Peng's announcement.

This study explores the potential impact of generative AI on the Canadian workforce over the next five years.
|
Introduction
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technological innovation, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential solution to Canada’s persistent productivity challenge (Billy-Ochieng’ et al., 2024). With productivity growth stagnating at just 0.2 per cent annually over the past decade (Caranci & Marple, 2024), and mounting economic pressures from potential trade disruptions, the need to enhance productivity has become increasingly urgent. Generative AI — artificial intelligence systems capable of creating new content, such as text, images, music or code — offers particularly promising opportunities for productivity gains, while simultaneously raising important questions about workforce adaptation.
AI is an umbrella term, used to describe a set of technologies able to perform tasks commonly associated with natural intelligence, such as identifying objects from visual data (vision) or processing natural language (speech) (Oxford University Press, 2023). Approaches vary across technologies, but a common throughline between them is that, generally, AI algorithms are built to be able to modify and refine the way that they work based on exposure to large amounts of data.
Its potential to boost productivity through task automation, process optimization and augmentation of human capabilities has led economists to recognize it as a general, purpose technology with significant economic, social and policy implications (Acemoglu, 2024a; Agrawal et al., 2019; Bick et al., 2024; Council of Economic Advisers, 2024). Due to AI’s expected impact on society, it has been described as a “Gutenberg moment,” likening its influence to that of the printing press (Nuño, 2023).
However, realizing these productivity gains requires significant implementation challenges to be addressed. Canada currently lags behind other G7 countries in AI adoption, with only 3.1 per cent of companies having adopted AI technologies by 2022, due in large part to infrastructure limitations and skills gaps (Pamma, 2024). This underscores the importance of understanding how generative AI might reshape labour market demands and identifying the skills needed to effectively harness these technologies.
Context and Approach
The potential impact of digital technologies on work started to receive significant attention in 2013 with a study by Frey and Osborne that found that 47 per cent of all occupations were at high risk of being replaced by computerization. The authors reasoned that, in essence, computerization is a form of automation. The process of automation, in turn, tends to replace lower-skilled occupations and augment higher-skilled occupations, raising concerns about increased unemployment and rising income inequality. Unlike past technological shifts that primarily affected manual labour, computerization threatens roles previously deemed difficult to automate, including routine-based service occupations in sectors like logistics, office support and certain service roles.
Later studies on the effects of computerization and machine learning — the study of an algorithm’s ability to improve performance on a given task without specific instructions — on work demonstrated that the impacts are more nuanced. A common practice in this approach is to view individual occupations as collections of tasks and assess which tasks could be transformed by technology (Acemoglu & Restrepo, 2022; Brynjolfsson et al., 2018; Moll et al., 2022). Studying the impact of machine learning (ML) on occupations, Brynjolfsson et al. (2018) utilize a task-based approach to analyze how technology can alter job functions within occupations. They used a crowdsourcing platform to obtain ratings for a series of job tasks within U.S. occupations, with regard to their suitability for machine learning on a given scale. Using these ratings, the authors then calculated a “suitability for machine learning” score for each task. This approach allows for a better understanding of how technology can reshape job responsibilities rather than merely replacing entire occupations. Applying it to the Canadian labour market, Frank and Frenette (2021) find that new technologies have shifted the nature of work toward more non-routine tasks between 2011 and 2018. Yet they also note that these changes were rather modest in scale.
Accelerated development and adoption of machine learning technologies have led to an increased focus on AI as a so-called general-purpose technology. This term is often used for innovations that have widespread applications across various occupations and industries.
Felten et al. (2021) applied the task-based approach to explore specifically how AI technologies might affect occupations in the United States. The increased focus on AI is tied to its role as a general-purpose technology (Acemoglu, 2024; Agrawal et al., 2019; Bick et al., 2024, Council of Economic Advisers, 2024). Examples of general-purpose technologies include the steam engine, electricity and microchips. Due to their applicability across the economy, general purpose technologies commonly cause significant economic disruption, thereby creating winners and losers (Trajtenberg, 2018). Using a crowdsourced survey, Felten et al. linked common AI applications, such as image recognition and language processing, to workplace abilities. They then used occupational data to determine the level of occupational exposure to AI technologies. This exposure measure is agnostic with regard to AI’s ultimate impact on a specific occupation. In some cases, high exposure can lead to automation; in other cases, an AI technology can complement a human worker.
More recently, the rise in popularity and availability of AI tools capable of generating content like text, audio or visuals — popularly referred to as “generative AI” — has led to renewed interest in the impact of technology on labour and skills. This is especially the case since generative AI’s capability to create new content allows it to take on a host of cognitive and creative tasks previously perceived as the prerogative of humans. As a consequence, occupations formerly thought of as immune from computerization may now also be experiencing some transformation (Gmyrek et al., 2023).
Focusing primarily on generative AI, Eloundou et al. (2023) measured occupational exposure to large language models (LLMs) — a type of machine learning model that is trained on large amounts of language data (see box 1). In particular, they assessed the potential time savings that generative AI tools could provide for various tasks and work activities within a given occupation. They found that approximately 19 per cent of the U.S. workforce might face significant disruption to their roles. Notably, the authors pointed out that, while generative AI can enhance productivity by streamlining tasks, it may also require workers to adopt new skills to remain relevant in a rapidly evolving job market.
Pizzinelli et al. (2023) determined both the level of exposure and complementarity of U.S. occupations to generative AI. Similar to Felten et al. (2021), the study applied an AI exposure index to assess the level of automation risk of different jobs due to generative AI based on task composition and automation potential. In addition, it determined complementarity — whether AI could enhance productivity in specific jobs — or substitution — where AI might displace jobs. One of the main findings is that higher-skilled occupations might experience more complementarity with generative AI, while lower-skilled jobs could face higher displacement risks.
From a policy standpoint, understanding how generative AI will change the demand for skills is particularly important for guiding people about to enter the labour market. Individuals currently in school or university need insight into which skills will gain or lose importance, so as to make informed career choices. In addition, assessing the impact of generative AI on occupations is crucial for policy interventions aimed at the current workforce, enabling support through retraining and upskilling.
Two recent studies analyze the potential impact of generative AI on Canada’s labour market. Using a combination of qualitative analysis, expert insights and case studies, Burt (2023) analyzed the effects of generative AI on routine and cognitive tasks. It found that the most significant occupational impact from the deployment of such tools appears to be on writing and programming skills. Their results show that the top 10 occupations where these skills predominate are either associated with STEM occupations, such as computer network technicians, software engineers and designers; or with cognitive occupations, such as journalists.
More recently, Mehdi and Morissette (2024) assessed the potential impact of AI on Canadian workers. Applying the methodology developed by Pizzinelli et al. (2023) to Canadian occupations, the study categorized workers into three groups based on their exposure to AI: those whose jobs may benefit from AI due to high complementarity, those at risk of having their tasks replaced by AI, and those less affected. The authors determined that around 31 per cent of Canadian employees, equivalent to 4.2 million workers, are in occupations that could be negatively impacted by AI.
Our study takes a novel approach to understanding generative AI’s potential impact on the Canadian workforce. We first analyze the automation risk of generative AI across skills and work activities, then examine the likely effect on Canadian occupations and industries. To do this, we introduce two methodological innovations.
First, we leverage the capabilities of one of the largest and most popular all-purpose generative AI tools (ChatGPT — an LLM-based chatbot by company OpenAI) to assess the automation risk of generative AI across different skills and work activities. Trained on vast amounts of data encompassing diverse fields, including labour market trends and technological advancements, tools like ChatGPT can synthesize and analyze information to provide a comprehensive assessment of generative AI’s capabilities. Specifically, recent research has demonstrated that LLMs can effectively analyze structured data formats when provided with appropriate frameworks (Jiang et al., 2023). We define “automation risk” as the technical feasibility of a generative AI system replacing or significantly transforming a specific occupational skill or work activity. Importantly, our analysis focuses solely on technical capabilities, without considering potential implementation barriers such as organizational, regulatory or financial constraints.
Second, our methodology draws on the Occupational and Skills Information System (OaSIS), a comprehensive database developed by Employment and Social Development Canada that provides detailed information on skills, abilities and competencies across nearly 900 Canadian occupations. The systematic, structured nature of OaSIS makes it particularly well-suited for AI-driven analysis, as it allows us to distill occupations into their major elements, which can then be individually evaluated by an AI chatbot.
LLMs offer distinct advantages in this assessment. They can systematically process standardized task descriptions and skill requirements, maintaining analytical consistency across multiple occupational categories. This approach allows us to identify which tasks involve routine, rule-based actions that align with current AI capabilities, and which require complex human skills that remain difficult to automate.
The reliability of this approach is supported by emerging research showing LLM assessments to be in line with traditional expert evaluations. Eloundou et al. (2023) compared occupation ratings of automation risk done by humans familiar with LLMs to responses from ChatGPT (GPT 4) and found strong correlations between the two. While AI ratings were lower on average, responses from both sources have a very similar trend.
To our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind using OaSIS to examine the impact of generative AI on Canada’s labour market.
Methodology
We assess the impact of generative AI on Canada’s workforce by analyzing how it affects skills and work activities. In doing so, we determine the risk of automation for each skill and work activity related to Canadian occupations.
As noted earlier, there are two important caveats with our approach. First, the risk of automation from generative AI focuses solely on technical feasibility, consistent with other literature on the topic (Acemoglu & Restrepo, 2019; Eloundou et al., 2023; Frey & Osborne, 2017). As such, it does not take into account regulatory frameworks, cultural acceptance, and other factors that would influence the adoption of generative AI. For instance, while self-driving transport trucks may be technically feasible, public skepticism and regulatory hurdles could significantly delay or limit their deployment, reducing the actual impact on employment in that sector.
Secondly, we focus on changes over the next five years, as predictions beyond this time horizon likely have a higher degree of uncertainty given the rapid technological developments in this space. Throughout our analysis, it is important to keep in mind that adoption barriers may result in slower, more uneven implementation of generative AI across different sectors and regions.
We note also that the inclusion of both skills and work activities in our analysis is deliberate. The way in which OaSIS defines skills and work activities does not allow for a clear delineation between what might be an innate human ability (skill), and an action that might be more highly correlated with a job description (work activity). For example, Quality Control Testing is listed as a skill in OaSIS but could quite as easily be explained as a work activity. As such, any separation in analysis between work activities and skills would not yield a clearer or comparable analysis due to the ambiguity and fluidity of the way the items are defined. Furthermore, OaSIS organizes its descriptions into eight categories, five of which pertain to individual traits and requirements and three to the work environment. “Skills” is included from the individual characteristics and requirements category while “work activities” comes from the work environment; as such, including both in the analysis enables a more comprehensive analysis.
As it is our goal to determine the impact of generative AI on Canada’s workforce, we apply occupational information from the newly established OaSIS. Developed by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) with support from Statistics Canada and the Labour Market Information Council (LMIC) in 2021-22, OaSIS is Canada’s database on occupations and associated competencies. The database was constructed using best practices from international examples such as the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) in the United States, and the European Skills, Competencies, Qualifications and Occupations (ESCO).[1]
OaSIS links the existing Skills and Competencies Taxonomy to Canada’s National Occupational System (NOC). It provides detailed information on the skills, abilities, personal attributes, knowledge and interests needed for over 900 occupations in Canada. For our analysis, we extract data on the 34 unique skills and 41 unique work activities across all occupations.
For each work activity and skill, OaSIS provides a score, on a scale from 0 to 5, measuring the proficiency required for competency in a given occupation. The ratings are conducted by trained HR analysts. On this scale, 0 means that the competency does not apply to the occupation and 5 means that it is essential. We consider only those competencies most relevant for a given vocation. For this reason, we include only the subset of skills and work activities with a proficiency weight of 3 and higher for each occupation.[2]
Applying the information on skills and work activities for each Canadian occupation provided by OaSIS allows us to determine automation risk scores in the following way.
We asked ChatGPT to rate how easy or difficult it would be for a specific skill and work activity to be performed by generative AI. When using a chatbot, results can differ based on three components. First, the output generated by a chatbot can depend on how a specific question is phrased. Second, results may depend on which particular model of chatbot is used. Finally, each model allows the user to specify certain parameters that influence the response, such as the level of randomness and the length of the generated output. To account for this, we use two different models of ChatGPT, vary the way we phrase our question by using different prompt structures, and modify specific parameters. Box 2 describes this approach in more detail, and further details on the prompt structure are provided in appendices B, C and D. Ultimately, we leverage these components to generate an average score of the risk of automation to provide a more comprehensive and robust estimate than if we were to simply report the output from one version of the question phrasing, one model or one set of inputs to the model parameters.
In total, we obtained 12 responses for the 34 unique skills and 41 unique work activities associated with all recorded occupations (listed in appendix E). This mimics the approach taken by Brynjolfsson et al. (2018) who surveyed 7 human experts across each of O*NET tasks. Next, we calculate the average automation risk scores for each work activity and skill which provides us with the potential automation risk from generative AI by skill and work activity for the over 900 occupations contained in the OaSIS.
The Impact of Generative AI on Occupations, Skills and Work Activities
Applying our methodology provides us with an average risk of automation score for each unique skill and work activity. As described, this score is averaged over 12 different prompts fed into the API, which varied in certain parameter values and vocabulary used, and across two different models of ChatGPT. This allows us to determine the likelihood of the risk of automation for each of the 900 occupations contained in OaSIS.
Our comprehensive analysis of generative AI’s automation risk for the Canadian workforce reveals three significant patterns in the data. First, clerical and data-processing skills and work activities demonstrate the highest automation risk from generative AI, with activities like entering and storing information scoring above 4 out of 5 on our risk scale. These are followed closely by activities involving operation monitoring, data analysis and scheduling, which all score above 3.5. Writing skills and activities also emerge as having a high risk of automation, aligning with recent empirical studies on generative AI’s capabilities in content creation and documentation (Burt, 2023).
Second, skills and work activities involving human interaction, social perception and instruction show markedly lower automation risk from generative AI. This pattern indicates that social, managerial and leadership skills will remain predominantly human domains in the near term, with generative AI having limited capability to automate these inherently interpersonal activities.
Third, our findings suggest that generative AI is more likely to transform the composition of skills and work activities within occupations rather than completely automate entire occupations. This is evidenced by our analysis of occupations representing 50 per cent of total Canadian employment in 2021, which show moderate automation risk scores between 2.77 and 3.3. For instance, retail salespersons demonstrate lower automation risk scores, particularly in activities requiring negotiation and persuasion, suggesting their roles will evolve to emphasize these human-centric skills while potentially seeing automation of more routine activities.
Overall, our analysis reveals distinct patterns of automation risk that vary significantly across skills, work activities and occupations. At the skill and work activity level, we find a clear divide between highly automatable activities such as data processing and monitoring, and more resilient human-centred skills such as instruction and social perception. At the occupational level, these risks manifest in three distinct patterns. Occupations requiring high levels of social interaction or manual skill show the lowest automation risk, suggesting that there will be minimal changes to their skill requirements and work activities. A second group of occupations shows high automation potential for certain activities but maintains important human-centred skill requirements, indicating likely shifts in work composition rather than a complete transformation. Finally, occupations centred primarily on routine information processing and monitoring activities show the highest automation risk, suggesting a more substantial transformation of their required skills and work activities.
Level of generative AI automation risk by skills and work activities
Table 1 shows the results for the skills and work activities with the highest risk of automation scores.[3] In short, amid the skills and work activities listed in table 1, clerical activities — which include entering, transcribing or storing information — carry the highest automation risk from generative AI, with an average score of 4.29 out of 5. Skills and work activities related to monitoring, scheduling and data analysis also rate relatively high. Moreover, and in line with recent empirical studies, writing is among the top 5 skills/work activities with the highest automation risk.
Table 2 shows our results for the skills and work activities with the lowest automation risk scores. Instructing, meaning the capability to teach others knowledge, has the lowest overall risk score at 2.04, followed by social perceptiveness and assisting and caring for others. These results demonstrate that social, managerial and leadership skills are among those with the least risk of automation by generative AI.
Generative AI automation risk by occupation
Table 3 lists the top 10 occupations with the highest average automation risk from generative AI. According to our results, data entry clerks, general office support workers, and shippers and receivers exhibit the highest automation risk. This aligns with our previous findings, as these occupations comprise a relatively large share of clerical skills and information-processing work activities.
As described, the score for each occupation is obtained by averaging only the subset of skills and work activities that are the most relevant to it (i.e., with a proficiency weight of 3 and higher). So, the fact that “Data entry clerks” exhibit a high automation risk score in table 3 means that all of the skills and work activities most necessary for that occupation exhibit, on average, a high risk of automation.
A closer examination of these high-risk occupations reveals how generative AI might transform their skills and work activities. For instance, health information management occupations (automation risk score: 3.41) combine both highly automatable skills and work activities, like data processing and documentation, with skills and work activities requiring human judgment and interpersonal capabilities. While generative AI shows high potential for automating their information-processing and record-keeping activities, others, such as co-ordinating with health care providers and ensuring compliance with regulations, may exhibit lower automation risk. Similarly, for general office support workers (automation risk score: 3.67), while routine documentation and data entry work activities show high automation potential, their skills in facilitating workplace communication and providing personalized administrative support are likely to remain important human-centred components of the occupation.
In general, it is important to note that automation risk scores reflect the technical feasibility of generative AI replacing or transforming tasks within occupations. However, real-world adoption also depends on economic factors, business incentives and investment costs. With regard to bakers, for example, while large-scale commercial baking operations may find automation cost-effective for streamlining production (e.g., to monitor ingredient usage or predict demand fluctuations), small bakeries may lack the financial incentive to invest in AI-driven systems.
A similar dynamic applies to other occupations with a high average risk score. While generative AI has the potential to automate or assist with cognitive-heavy tasks, full automation would likely require additional advancements in robotics and physical automation. For example, shippers and receivers, who are responsible for processing shipments, tracking inventory and moving materials, may see AI assist with logistics optimization and automated record-keeping. However, the physical aspects of loading, unloading and transporting goods would require robotics rather than generative AI alone. Similarly, while general office support workers could see many of their administrative duties — such as document generation and email drafting — automated by AI, tasks that require co-ordination across multiple departments or handling sensitive information may still require human oversight. These limitations highlight the fact that, while generative AI can transform certain work activities and affect skills demand, full automation often depends on additional investments in complementary technologies.
Table 4 shows the occupations with the lowest average automation risk from generative AI. In line with our previous results, occupations requiring intensive use of social skills and manual work activities show lower automation risk. The relatively low automation risk for retail salespersons, for example, is because skills and work activities such as “negotiating”, “selling or influencing others,” and “persuading” are among their most essential requirements. This finding is consistent with the existing literature on automation, which shows that non-routine manual and interpersonal communication activities have lower automation risk (Lesonsky, 2023). This pattern is particularly evident in occupations requiring direct interpersonal interaction, such as hairstylists and barbers, home child care providers, and personal service workers.
Generative AI automation risk and employment shares
The implication that, over the medium term, generative AI is more likely to change the composition of work activities and skills within occupations rather than rendering entire occupations obsolete, is illustrated by figure 1. It plots the level of automation risk for occupations with the highest employment share. Importantly, the automation risk scores included here are based on skills and work activities essential to the occupation.
Combined, the occupations included in figure 1 accounted for approximately 50 per cent of total employment in Canada in 2021. Overall, automation risk scores among these occupations range in ranking from 2.77, for cashiers and other sales support occupations, to 3.3 for longshore workers and material handlers. As such, taking an average risk score of 3 to indicate moderate automatability, we note that the roles in which employment is most concentrated face a moderate level of automation risk.
Many occupations involve a mix of tasks, some of which have a higher risk of automation than others. For example, we have already seen that skills and work activities related to monitoring tend to have higher automation risk. This means that the moderate automatability (i.e., 2.77-3.3) observed in occupations employing the largest share of workers points to a partial rather than total impact. These roles consist of enough low-risk work activities and skills to maintain an overall automation risk that is moderate rather than high. In other words, the most common jobs are not highly automatable as a whole because they involve both high- and low-risk work activities and tasks.
That said, some occupations within this group may appear more or less automatable depending on the lens through which automation risk is assessed. For example, while our findings suggest that cashiers have a moderate generative AI automation risk score (2.77), other research (e.g., Oschinski & Nguyen, 2022) has classified cashiers as highly automatable. This difference reflects the distinction between generative AI automation and broader automation trends. While self-checkout kiosks and cashier-less stores may reduce the need for traditional cashier roles, our analysis focuses specifically on how generative AI, rather than retail automation in general, impacts the skills and tasks within occupations. In this sense, cashiers remain a role where AI can assist with certain cognitive tasks (e.g., handling customer inquiries via AI chatbots or generating reports), but physical transaction processing and customer interaction remain largely human-driven.
More broadly, this pattern is consistent across many high-employment occupations. Rather than fully replacing jobs, generative AI is likely to automate specific work activities, shifting skill requirements, while leaving others unchanged. Since the occupations in figure 1 account for half of total employment, moderate automation scores imply a shift in skill demand rather than the complete automation of occupations. In other words, generative AI is more likely to transform certain tasks while leaving others to humans, making the complete elimination of high-employment roles unlikely.
In summary, advances in generative AI are more likely to alter the composition of skills and work activities for most workers than render occupations obsolete. While nearly all occupations listed in figure 1 are likely to be impacted by generative AI, the impact will primarily involve a shift in tasks performed by humans.
Industry risk of automation
Having calculated the risk of automation for the skills and work activities related to certain occupations, we may now analyze the risk at industry level in Canada. To do this, we use detailed employment data by industry from Statistics Canada and calculate the share of high-risk occupations by industry.[4] High-risk occupations here are defined as the top 25 per cent of occupations with the highest risk ratings.
Figure 2 shows industries by total level of employment and each industry’s share of high-risk occupations. The top 5 industries with the highest share of at-risk occupations include transportation and warehousing (56.4 per cent); manufacturing (51.9 per cent); construction (50 per cent); mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction (47.7 per cent); and agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting (36 per cent). Our data suggest that occupations involving routine, standardized tasks such as data entry, basic customer inquiries and administrative work are at the highest risk of automation from generative AI technologies across these industries. In general, these roles involve a high degree of repetitive, predictable tasks. In fields like transportation, warehousing, manufacturing and construction, generative AI can optimize workflows, analyze data, generate schedules and support customer service. In agriculture, generative AI can further take over work activities involving crop and livestock monitoring, supply chain management and market analysis (Rane et al., 2024). In mining, key applications of generative AI include enhancing prospecting and deposit analysis, optimizing mining methods, improving worker safety and environmental monitoring, and increasing operational efficiency throughout the supply chain (Corrigan & Ikonnikova, 2024).
The industries with the lowest shares of high-risk occupations include educational services (3.1 per cent), finance and insurance (5.8 per cent), arts, entertainment and recreation (5.9 per cent), health care and social assistance (6.9 per cent), and professional, scientific and technical services (7 per cent). Industries with a low share of high-risk occupations typically involve roles that emphasize human-centric skills, complex decision-making and adaptability in unstructured environments — qualities that are less easily replaced by automation. While generative AI might assist in those occupations, it cannot easily replace nuanced communication, empathy, human judgment or ethical decision-making. Furthermore, creative and unstructured work, common in arts and entertainment, resists automation because it hinges on individual creativity, which AI struggles to codify. Finally, roles requiring high expertise, such as university researchers, demand years of specialized training and ongoing education to evaluate complex information, making them less vulnerable to AI-driven substitution and more likely to see AI as a complementary tool.
Our assessment indicates that industries vary considerably with regard to their share of at-risk occupations. It should be noted here, however, that the actual impact of generative AI on specific industries depends on both the speed and the nature of technology adoption.
Existing research suggests the pace of AI adoption may differ across regions and industries based on factors like firm size, R&D investment, available talent and quality of the IT infrastructure (Ali et al., 2024). Larger firms and tech-intensive industries may be able to integrate AI solutions quicker than smaller firms, or those in more traditional sectors (Bonney et al., 2024).
Additionally, the types of generative AI technologies implemented can significantly influence their workforce impacts. Firms have a choice in how they deploy these tools — whether to primarily automate and replace human labour, or to augment and enhance worker capabilities (Acemoglu & Johnson, 2023). Industries that strategically leverage AI to complement their human workforce may be able to mitigate job displacement risks.
Further, although some of Canada’s largest employers, such as health care and social assistance, and professional, scientific, and technical services, have relatively low shares of occupations at high risk from automation by generative AI, the total number of employees affected could still be considerable. Due to the large workforce in these sectors, more than 10,000 workers in each are vulnerable to potential job transformation from AI-driven automation.
Finally, the potential risk of automation from generative AI at the industry level will likely vary across regions. This is because different regions have distinct industry patterns, with some areas displaying a larger concentration of sectors with higher shares of at-risk occupations. As such, regions with a greater concentration of industries like manufacturing, transportation and warehousing could face more significant workforce disruptions, while those with a higher share of lower-risk sectors, such as health care and education, may experience less immediate impacts. We discuss regional labour market vulnerabilities in more detail next.
Assessing Regional Labour Market Vulnerabilities — Automation Risk Scores and Online Job Posting Data
The impact of generative AI on the labour market may differ within Canada according to differences in economic structure, workforce composition and industry presence. For policymakers, it is important to know which regions could be most adversely affected in order to react with appropriate policy interventions. Consequently, this section considers the impact of generative AI on the regional demand for occupational labour in Canada. To accomplish this, we leverage data from online job postings as a measure of demand. As such, combining our measure of automation risk with the online job posting data allows us to discern differences in demand for occupations that are the most and least vulnerable to advances in generative AI by geographical location. By investigating this relationship, we aim to determine regional labour market trends in the context of technological change, and assess any patterns that may arise.
To achieve this, we introduce data into our analysis from the Labour Market Information Council (LMIC). Updated weekly, the LMIC’s Canadian Job Trends Dashboard includes labour market information based on online job posting trends across Canada. The dashboard tracks movements in employers’ demand for work skills, knowledge requirements and occupational vacancies. Although many employers actively recruit online, it is important to note that job posting is not an all-encompassing metric for all job vacancies. In particular, research suggests that online job postings might oversample high-skilled occupations (Carnevale et al., 2014).
To determine labour market trends, it is important that we first define a method of establishing what high demand looks like for an occupation versus low demand. In other words, we assess the relative demand for an occupation in a province compared to its demand at the national level. To do this, we use a normalized score.
Normalization adjusts variables to a standard scale, allowing for fair regional comparison. An example of this is the use of per capita values to better compare data across areas with varying population levels. In our context, we calculate the relative proportion of postings for a specific occupation in a province, compared to the national level, to assess proportionate demand.
Specifically, we use the measure of the location quotient (LQ), following Alabdulkareem et al. (2018). We generate the LQ by province to indicate whether a province has a relatively higher or lower demand for a particular occupation. The score can be interpreted as follows:[5]
LQ > 1: the province has a higher share of job postings for a particular occupation than the national average LQ = 1: the province’s share of job postings for the occupation is in line with the national average LQ < 1: the province has a lower share of job postings for a particular occupation than the national average
These values simply allow us to determine some relative method of explaining which occupations have a higher or lower demand. To reiterate, this is important because we are interested in identifying which in-demand occupations exhibit a high automation risk. It assists in informing policy about which occupations are primed for job-training investment, namely those exhibiting relatively higher demand but low levels of automation risk, and where they are in demand. For example, if the occupation “Electrician” is in high demand in Alberta and has a low level of automation risk, this would indicate there is a growing need for electricians in Alberta with a low likelihood of this demand declining due to technological change in the near future.
However, generative AI’s impact on an occupation is not solely determined by the share of tasks the tool can handle, but also by the types of tasks, their importance, and the context in which they are required. In contrast to automation risk, this concept – referred to as complementarity – is meant to capture the degree to which generative AI can enhance or supplement human tasks rather than entirely replace and automate them. Pizzinelli et al. (2023) built an index of AI complementarity at the occupation level, based on data on occupations and their work context (conditions, characteristics and relationships) from O*NET. We incorporate this dataset into our analysis, which was generously provided by the authors, by adapting it to align with the OaSIS framework.
Combining automation risk scores with complementarity scores allows us to determine which occupations are likely to experience the most fundamental disruption from generative AI. In other words, considering occupations that are in high demand, but that face high automation risk and low complementarity, is one way to identify those that may be positioned to face significant job losses. This subgroup of occupations is particularly vulnerable because these roles currently require filling (i.e., they are in high demand) but firms can choose between investing in modernization or human labour (i.e., due to high automation risk). This means that it may be more beneficial for a firm to invest in modernization than in human labour (i.e., due to low complementarity), leading to high displacement. Displacement does, however, depend on sector-based incentives. For example, it may be more difficult for a smaller firm to adopt automation due to financial or resource constraints, despite the automation risk. Conversely, larger firms with more capital may find it easier to invest in technology, resulting in greater displacement of workers in these high-risk, low-complementarity roles.
A Brookings Institution report by Kinder et al. (2024) draws attention to a significant shift in how generative AI impacts the labour market. Unlike previous waves of automation, which predominantly affected manual, routine tasks, generative AI is poised to disrupt routine cognitive tasks in office-oriented and information-based roles. In contrast, occupations that were once most vulnerable to automation — typically lower-skilled, routine manual jobs —are likely to be more insulated from displacement in this context. This is due to the slower adoption of advanced AI technologies in these industries, which often lack the resources or need for such investments. Conversely, sectors that rely on routine cognitive tasks, such as administrative work or customer service, may see greater disruption, but workers in these roles are also more likely to benefit from AI-driven productivity enhancements. The extent of job displacement will depend on factors such as firm size and sector characteristics. Larger firms and industries with more cognitive, routine tasks are better positioned to adopt generative AI, while smaller firms in sectors that rely on manual or complex tasks may face slower adoption. Thus, the impact of generative AI on job displacement will vary across industries and will be influenced by each sector’s capacity to invest in new technologies. As a result, the impact of generative AI on job displacement will not be uniform across industries and will be shaped by each sector’s unique needs and resources.
For occupations currently in high demand but with a high level of automation risk and low complementarity with generative AI, a sound course of action will be (with the caveats mentioned previously) to adopt automation in the field and manage transitions for workers expecting to be displaced in preparation for a different or altered line of work. Following Bender and Li (2002), who define additional intervals of a mathematically similar measure, we define the following categories of relative demand for more detailed insights:
Category 1: LQ > 2: very high overrepresentation
Category 2: 2 > LQ > 1: high overrepresentation
Category 3: LQ = 1: average representation
Category 4: 1 > LQ > 0.5: low representation
Category 5: If 0.5 > LQ > 0: very low representation
From a policy perspective, we are most interested in those occupations that are significantly overrepresented and, more specifically, highly represented in each province and with respect to their automation risk and complementarity scores (Categories 1 and 2).
It is also interesting to consider to what extent the location quotient is a reflection of regional economic specialization. For example, our data find that British Columbia has a very high over-representation for “Contractors and supervisors, carpentry trades” and Nova Scotia in “Conservation and fishery officers.”
To determine a macro-level understanding of regional differences in labour market automation risk, we aggregate the Category 1 data detailed above. That is, we generate the average level of generative AI automation risk for the highest in-demand occupations (those with an LQ greater than 2) in each province.
Using just Category 1 data allows us to gain further detail on specialization. Recall that, if the LQ is greater than 2, it demonstrates a significantly higher concentration of job postings for a specific occupation in a province than the national average.
Comparing the expected level of susceptibility to generative AI for those occupations most in demand in each province is a useful policy tool, as it may indicate priorities for strategic workforce planning from a macro perspective, serving as a high-level indicator.
Figure 3 shows the average level of generative AI automation risk for the most in-demand occupations by province.
We note that focusing on in-demand occupations does not account for automation risk in occupations where firms may already be choosing between investing in modernization or closing. Then, for the most in-demand occupations, we see that Ontario exhibits the highest average level of generative AI automation risk at 3.62, followed by Manitoba. In contrast, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador have the lowest average levels. Thus, occupations with the highest labour demand in Ontario and Manitoba have, on average, higher automation risk due to advances in generative AI compared to those in Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.
The implications of this insight are manifold. For example, workers in Ontario and Manitoba may face higher risks of job displacement, which could lead to increased unemployment or exacerbate economic inequality if workers struggle to transition to new roles or technology. On the other hand, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador may experience higher resiliency in their most specialized fields, indicating a lesser level of urgency in terms of upskilling or retraining policy efforts.
As noted above, the ultimate impact of generative AI on a specific occupation is going to depend on the level of automation risk as well as its level of complementarity with this technology. Automation risk refers to the likelihood that the activities required by an occupation can be reasonably performed by generative AI tools. Complementarity refers to the tasks within an occupation that can be augmented or enhanced by AI, rather than fully automated. This is determined by factors such as whether the tasks require human communication, complex decision-making, physical presence, or other uniquely human capabilities. For example, workers in occupations with high automation risk and high complementarity, like lawyers, are less likely to be at risk of displacement and more likely to see productivity gains — since generative AI is expected to be able to augment or enhance rather than replace their tasks.
As such, we compare the most in-demand occupations by province in terms of their complementarity and automation risk. Figures 4 and 5 plot regional comparisons of the distribution of the most in-demand occupations with high automation risk and high complementarity vs. low complementarity.
We define relatively high automation risk as those occupations with an automation risk score greater than or equal to 3.02. We follow Pizzinelli et al. (2023) and define relatively high complementarity as being greater than 0.58.
As mentioned previously, occupations exhibiting high automation risk alongside high complementarity indicate a likelihood of benefiting positively from advances in generative AI since there exists a high degree to which generative AI may enhance or supplement, rather than replace, tasks. Similarly, occupations with high automation risk and low complementarity are more likely to face negative repercussions, such as job replacement.
Given this, we can identify regions that are best positioned to benefit from advances in generative AI. These are areas with in-demand occupations that have both high automation risk and high complementarity. Occupations meeting these criteria have a higher potential for augmentation and benefit from generative AI; therefore, the imminent changes caused by advancements in generative AI are more likely to be positive for these regions.
Figure 4 highlights how well positioned each province is to benefit from generative AI in its most in-demand and at-risk roles. We focus on occupations that are both highly exposed to AI-driven automation and likely to benefit from it — those with a high automation risk and high complementarity score. These occupations are matched with a dataset of the most in-demand occupations by province. We then calculate the average complementarity score for each province. The resulting map shows where AI is more likely to enhance rather than replace in-demand jobs, offering key insights for workforce planning and investment in skills development.
Figure 5 is similarly constructed but instead focuses on occupations highly exposed to AI-driven automation and unlikely to benefit from it — those with a high automation risk and low complementarity score.
Figure 4 shows that Nova Scotia, Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario’s in-demand occupations with high automation risk show relatively higher complementarity scores. In contrast, some provinces, such as New Brunswick, are not represented on the map, as they do not have occupations that are in high demand and that exhibit high automation risk with a high level of complementarity.
This highlights a critical key takeaway: not all provinces are poised to benefit equally from advances in generative AI. For policymakers, understanding which provinces are less likely to benefit — such as Newfoundland and Labrador or Manitoba — can inform targeted regional interventions to improve labour market robustness.
Moreover, our data reveal clear regional differences in terms of vulnerability. A region is considered vulnerable if it has more in-demand occupations with high generative AI automation risk and low complementarity. Occupations meeting these criteria, as shown in figure 5, are more likely to be negatively impacted by advances in generative AI, as the technology is less likely to complement the required skills and work activities.
We observe that more populous provinces like Ontario and Quebec have lower average complementarity across in-demand, high-automation risk, lowcomplementarity occupations than provinces like Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, or Alberta. Economic specializations may play a role in these findings; these provinces often employ trades requiring skills and work activities in natural resource sectors, such as fishing, oil, or mining, where certain skills might offer slightly greater complementarity with technology despite high automation risk.
In contrast to figure 4, all provinces are represented in figure 5. This indicates another key takeaway: all Canadian provinces have occupations that are in high demand and likely to see a negative impact from advancements in generative AI. This is significant from a policy perspective, as having high-demand occupations across all provinces vulnerable to generative AI advancements could pose widespread challenges.
If widely held jobs are vulnerable to AI, a significant portion of the workforce could face displacement or the need for rapid reskilling. This could lead to economic instability, including higher unemployment rates and income inequality, which are traditionally addressed through government policy and programs.
At the same time, effective reskilling programs and workforce transitions are not just about mitigating risks — they are also key to ensuring that workers and businesses fully capture the productivity gains made possible by generative AI, in particular for occupations that have high automation risk and high complementarity. By equipping workers with the skills needed for AI-augmented roles, governments and employers can help unlock higher efficiency, innovation, and economic growth.
Governments have a critical role in funding and designing reskilling programs to help workers transition to new roles or adapt their skills to AI-augmented tasks. Without intervention, the workforce might not be able to meet the demands of the evolving labour market.
Overall, these maps highlight a critical asymmetry in the geography of generative AI disruption and opportunity. While workers in some provinces are better positioned (high risk, high complementarity) to benefit in advances in generative AI through the augmentation of existing roles, others face a disproportionate risk of replacement (high risk, low complementarity).[6] The absence of proactive intervention may deepen existing regional inequalities. With regionally tailored support, generative AI can be harnessed to promote inclusive transformation across regions.
Regional Employment Vulnerability by Industry
While the preceding analysis focused on in-demand occupations and their automation risk, policymakers must also consider the general distribution of high-risk employment across industries and regions. Understanding these patterns is critical for designing effective workforce transition policies, particularly in sectors with a high share of vulnerable jobs. As noted earlier, industries such as transportation, manufacturing, construction, mining and agriculture face a high share of at-risk occupations due to generative AI, particularly those involving routine, standardized tasks. These roles are most vulnerable to automation, as generative AI can optimize workflows, support customer service, and handle tasks like data entry, scheduling and monitoring, leading to efficiency gains across these sectors.
Given regional variations in the types of occupations within industries, the distribution of high-risk employment is likely to differ across regions as well. Accordingly, figure 6 presents the percentage of employment within each industry and province/territory that is categorized as high-risk due to generative AI. As mentioned throughout the report, “automation risk” refers purely to the technical feasibility of a generative AI system replacing or significantly transforming a specific occupational skill or work activity. As such, it does not account for regulatory barriers or the fact that the implementation of AI systems in some cases might require substantial investments and thus take some time to materialize.
As shown in figure 6, the share of high-risk employment varies considerably both by industry and by region. Across the country, industries are made up of slightly different mixes of occupations, reflecting firm-specific differences such as production methods, size, and the availability of labour and resources. We find that some regions have a larger share of people employed in occupations more likely to be impacted by generative AI, even within the same industries.
In construction, between 47 per cent and 67 per cent of occupations across all provinces and territories exhibit high risk, with the highest vulnerability in Prince Edward Island (62 per cent) and Nunavut (67 per cent). Similarly, manufacturing shows high vulnerability with 50-67 per cent of occupations at high risk across regions, peaking at 67 per cent in the Northwest Territories and Yukon. This could leave them more susceptible to larger vocational displacement, though it will depend on the technological, financial and social feasibility of automating certain tasks.
Resource-based industries also demonstrate substantial vulnerability. In mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction, the share of high-risk employment ranges from 41 per cent in Alberta to almost 67 per cent in Nunavut. While generative AI can optimize certain tasks within these sectors, the manual aspects — such as equipment operation and fieldwork — will likely require significant investments in specialized equipment and technology. These investments may only be feasible where considerable capital has already been committed. Transportation and warehousing also shows high risk shares, while agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting exhibits notable variations, from 27 per cent in Saskatchewan to 56 per cent in Nunavut.
In contrast, certain industries show consistently lower shares of high-risk employment. Educational services demonstrate the lowest vulnerability across all provinces, followed by arts, entertainment and recreation, and finance and insurance. Health care and social assistance also shows relatively low risk shares.
These findings complement our earlier analysis of in-demand occupations in important ways. While Ontario exhibits high average automation risk from generative AI for its most in-demand occupations, we also see that several industries in Ontario have moderate shares of high-risk employment compared to other provinces. For example, Ontario’s construction industry shows a 48 per cent high-risk share, which is lower than most other provinces. Conversely, while our LQ analysis indicated lower average risk in Prince Edward Island’s most in-demand occupations, the province shows elevated high-risk shares in several key industries, including construction and transportation.
Regional patterns also emerge that may require policy attention. Nunavut consistently shows very high shares of high-risk employment across multiple industries. The Northwest
Territories similarly shows elevated vulnerability across several sectors. Further studies are
needed to understand the economic factors behind these differences in the occupational structures of industries across regions.
These patterns suggest that certain regions may face more widespread workforce disruption from generative AI than others, across both current and indemand employment.
From a policy perspective, regions with high shares of high-risk occupations across multiple industries may need more comprehensive transition strategies, even in cases where the most in-demand occupations in these regions show lower average risk. This dual perspective — considering both occupational demand patterns and the current distribution of high-risk employment — provides a more complete foundation for targeted policy intervention.
What Does the Evidence Reveal So Far?
Concern about artificial intelligence’s impact on work has intensified with the emergence of generative AI — systems capable of creating content across text, code and other media. While previous waves of automation primarily affected routine manual and cognitive tasks, generative AI’s ability to perform complex cognitive and creative tasks has raised new questions about its implications for Canada’s workforce. This study provides empirical evidence of how generative AI could affect Canadian workers over the next five years, examining its impact across skills, work activities, occupations, industries and regions.
Our analysis of generative AI’s automation potential reveals three significant patterns in the Canadian labour market. First, the impact varies substantially across different types of skills and work activities. Clerical activities show the highest automation risk (4.29 out of 5), followed by operation monitoring (3.96) and data analysis (3.92). In contrast, skills involving human interaction and judgment — such as instructing (2.04), social perceptiveness (2.08) and coaching (2.17) — demonstrate markedly lower automation risk. This pattern suggests that, while generative AI may significantly transform information processing and monitoring tasks, it is less likely to replace activities requiring interpersonal skills and judgment-based functions.
Second, the evidence indicates that generative AI is more likely to transform the composition of work within occupations rather than eliminate entire job categories. Among occupations representing about 50 per cent of total Canadian employment, automation risk scores fall within a moderate range (2.77-3.3), suggesting partial rather than complete automation. In other words, most occupations will evolve rather than disappear, with workers needing to adapt to changing task compositions. However, the extent of this transformation will depend on factors beyond technical feasibility, including employer adoption strategies, worker reskilling efforts, and policy interventions. Governments will play a critical role in supporting workforce transitions through education and training investments, while businesses will need to implement AI in ways that enhance, rather than replace, human work.
Third, our analysis reveals significant regional and industry variations in automation risk. Transportation and warehousing (56.4 per cent), manufacturing (51.9 per cent), and construction (50 per cent) show the highest shares of high-risk occupations, while educational services (3.1 per cent) and finance and insurance (5.8 per cent) demonstrate lower vulnerability. Regional analysis indicates that Ontario and Manitoba have higher concentrations of at-risk occupations in their most in-demand jobs, while Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador show greater resilience. These patterns suggest that the impact of generative AI will not be uniform across Canada’s economy, necessitating targeted policy responses.
The evidence also highlights important implementation challenges that will influence the pace and impact of generative AI adoption. Canada currently lags other G7 countries in AI adoption, with only 3.1 per cent of companies having implemented AI technologies by 2022. Two critical barriers emerge from the data: insufficient AI-enabling infrastructure and a shortage of AI-ready talent. Canada’s recent drop to 23rd place globally in AI infrastructure underscores these challenges. This suggests that, while generative AI offers significant potential for workplace transformation, actual changes may occur more gradually than technical feasibility alone would indicate.
Looking ahead, our analysis indicates that the ultimate impact of generative AI on Canada’s workforce will depend on several interrelated factors. While traditional AI adoption is constrained by infrastructure limitations, generative AI presents a unique dynamic. Unlike traditional AI systems that require significant organizational investment, generative AI tools are increasingly accessible to individual workers through consumer-facing applications. However, this accessibility creates both opportunities and risks. Without proper AI literacy and digital skills, workers may use these tools ineffectively or inappropriately, potentially reducing rather than enhancing productivity. This is echoed in a recent study by the Conference Board of Canada on the use of generative AI. According to the authors, generative AI has the potential to provide a significant boost to Canada’s economy — adding around 2 per cent to GDP — if deployed correctly (The Conference Board of Canada, 2024). Crucially, the report notes that AI talent and an AI-ready workforce are key factors in this process. Yet, a lack of an AI-ready workforce appears to be one of the biggest bottlenecks (Pamma, 2024).
The key challenge for policymakers and business leaders will therefore be the following:
Accelerate AI Infrastructure Investment
The federal government should continue investing in AI infrastructure, including AI compute capacity, data centres and broadband access as part of the AI Compute Access Fund and the Canadian AI Sovereign Compute Strategy (ISED, 2025a, 2025b). This will enable AI researchers, startups and businesses to have the necessary resources to innovate and scale AI solutions, ensuring equitable access across all regions.
Canada has made strides with the $2 billion AI investment in Budget 2024 but significant gaps remain in AI infrastructure (Finance Canada, 2024) These investments should be scaled to ensure equitable access for small businesses and underrepresented regions, supporting the overall AI ecosystem. High-performance computing is critical to ensuring that AI innovation is both scalable and sustainable. However, without widespread broadband access, regions with limited internet connectivity may be left behind in the AI revolution, as access to AI tools and cloud-based computing requires reliable, high-speed internet.
Foster a National AI Literacy Initiative
The federal government should work with the provinces and territories to implement a comprehensive AI literacy program across secondary, post-secondary and adult learning levels. This program should focus on digital literacy and complementary skills — such as critical thinking, problem-solving and leadership skills — that are vital in an AI-augmented workforce and exhibit low automation risk. Importantly, AI literacy should also emphasize human oversight and ethical engagement with AI tools.
Digital and AI literacy are crucial to preparing workers across all sectors for AI integration (Oschinski et al., 2024). Recent Canadian government AI consultations highlight the skills gap in AI knowledge and the lack of readiness among workers to engage with AI tools effectively (Government of Canada, 2024).
Strengthen Public-Private Partnerships for Workforce Reskilling
The government should facilitate work-based learning programs that provide hands-on experience in AI. These programs should be collaborative in nature, with input from businesses, industry associations and educational institutions to create industry-relevant AI curricula. Apprenticeships and internships have proven to be effective at connecting education to real-world industry needs, particularly in AI fields. Moreover, they are effective pathways for underrepresented groups to gain access to emerging jobs (Koslosky & Feldgoise, 2025). By providing workers with both technical skills and practical experience, Canada can enhance the talent pipeline and ensure workers are ready to step into AI roles directly. This approach also empowers workers to anticipate how generative AI is reshaping their industries and to proactively identify opportunities where their skills can be applied. In this context, expanding the programs like the National Research Council’s AI Assist Program, ISED’s AI Compute Access Fund and the Regional Artificial Intelligence Initiative (ISED 2024 and 2025c), could help small and medium-sized businesses to adopt AI tools while simultaneously upskilling their workforce in AI technologies.
Support Region-Specific Workforce Development Strategies
To address the regional disparities in AI adoption, the government should implement regional workforce strategies tailored to the specific economic contexts of each province/territory. These strategies should focus on reskilling workers in high-risk sectors and regions with high concentrations of vulnerable occupations.
As our analysis has shown, the impact of AI will not be uniform across Canada. Different regions have varying levels of AI infrastructure access and exposure to automation risks. Developing region-specific programs is key to ensuring equitable workforce development. In this context, expanding the Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program (ESDC, 2022) funding to target specific regions with higher automation risks could be part of a broader regional development strategy.
Strengthen AI Talent Development and Retention
Canada should invest in AI talent development through research grants, AI-related apprenticeships, and collaborations with businesses. This includes attracting and retaining AI researchers and practitioners, especially in emerging fields of AI application, by offering competitive incentives and training programs.
To strengthen its position in AI, Canada must expand its AI talent pipeline and ensure that research institutes and startups can attract and retain skilled professionals. AI-related apprenticeships, industry collaborations and effective workforce training programs can contribute to building a sustainable talent pool, ensuring that Canada can compete effectively on the global AI stage (Koslosky and Feldgoise, 2025; Oschinski et al., 2024).
While this study provides an important baseline assessment of generative AI’s potential impact, further research is needed to fully understand how automation risk translates into real-world workforce shifts. Future studies could examine employer adoption strategies, firm-level AI investment trends, and the effectiveness of reskilling programs in preparing workers for AI-augmented roles. Additionally, longitudinal research tracking workforce adaptation over time will be crucial for evaluating how generative AI reshapes employment patterns in practice.
Monitoring these changes will be crucial as generative AI continues to evolve. Ongoing assessment of how Canadian jobs actually transform as this technology is deployed will be essential for informing policy responses and workforce development strategies.

Appendices
Appendix A
As OpenAI develops its models, it retires older versions. At the time of analysis, GPT-4 was running on version GPT-4-0613, the model used in this research. A comparison between each of the model versions used in this paper is shown in table A1. This bolsters the thoroughness of the methodology described in the paper, as it takes into account another source of variation in GPT’s ability to provide consistent automation risk scores.
Appendix B
Below is a list of prompt parameters and hyperparameters. In writing a script to use the GPT API, there are certain technical specifications that users may input to alter the consistency, length or any of the other response traits that arise. The hyperparameters most relevant to our study — and which were used in some of our prompts — are listed below to provide a complete view of the thoroughness of our approach.
Temperature: Controls the randomness of the output. Setting this close to 1.0 may introduce some randomness; a value closer to 0 will produce deterministic rankings.
Top_P: 0.1: How many options GPT considers before choosing the next word in its response. If set to 0.1, the model only looks at words that make up the top 10 per cent of the most likely options. If set closer to 0, the choices will be narrower. Only used in prompts that use post-processing explanations.
Batch Size: Number of data points used in each iteration during training (impacts model convergence).
Template-Based Prompt: Suggested method of creating prompt structures (as seen in appendix C) to improve consistency in outputs.
Frequency Penalty: Used to penalize the frequency of words in the model’s output. Only used in prompts that use post-processing explanations.
Presence Penalty: Discourages the use of words from the input prompt in the response. Can create more/less diverse ranking. Only used in prompts that use post-processing explanations.
Prompt Ranking Criteria: Use of defined ranking criteria (e.g., 1 = some explanations, 5 = some explanation) to improve consistency in outputs.
Appendix C

CNN CNN —
Academics and economists have long warned that rapidly advancing artificial intelligence will wipe out jobs and upend the global economy. Now that call is coming from inside the house.
On Thursday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned on CNN that the technology will spike unemployment sooner than political leaders and businesses expect — and they aren’t ready for it.
Amodei believes the AI tools that Anthropic and other companies are racing to build could eliminate half of entry-level, white-collar jobs and boost unemployment to as much as 20% in the next one to five years, he told Axios on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, his company, a leading artificial intelligence lab, is selling AI technology that it says can work nearly seven hours a day, the length of a typical human workday. A recent World Economic Forum survey found that 41% of employers plan to reduce their workforce because of AI automation by 2030.
However, some experts say AI will automate certain tasks rather than entire jobs. And skeptics say the rapid growth of artificial intelligence tools may slow down as companies run out of high-quality data to train their models and that the kinds of highly complex jobs human can reliably do are still far out of reach for artificial intelligence.
Still, Amodei’s comments are notable, coming from the CEO of a major AI company. Here are four takeaways from his interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
White-collar, entry-level jobs are in danger
Amodei said the skills needed for white-collar, entry-level jobs — “ability to summarize a document, analyze a bunch of sources and put it into a report, write computer code” — could be done with AI, which is “as good as a smart college student.”
Amodei predicts AI tools could eliminate half of white-collar, entry-level jobs, bringing the unemployment rate to up to 20% in the near future.
While AI companies could reap big profits if businesses widely adopt their products, Amodei did say he supports levying taxes on AI companies.
It’s “definitely not in my economic interest to say that, but I think this is something we should consider.”

The timeline is faster than we think
Amodei said he didn’t have an exact timeline on when these jobs will become obsolete for humans. But, he said, “it’s eerie the extent to which the broader public and politicians, legislators, I don’t think, are fully aware of what’s going on.”
“We have to make sure that people have the ability to adapt, and that that we adopt the right the right policies… but we have to act now. We can’t just sleepwalk into it.”
AI isn’t just a chatbot anymore
Amodei said humans will have to soon grapple with AI outperforming them “at almost all intellectual tasks.” Eventually, no one will be safe from AI automation replacing their jobs — even CEOs like him, he said.
If that happens, “we’re going to have to think about how to order our society,” Amodei said.
More people still use AI for augmentation, which enhances human abilities, rather than automation, which replaces humans totally. But that gap is quickly narrowing: Currently, 60% of people use AI for augmentation and 40% for automation, according to Amodei.
“We can see where the trend is going, and that’s what’s driving some of the concern (about AI in the workforce),” he said.
What humans can do
Amodei said it’s important for people to learn how to use artificial intelligence.
“Learn to understand where the technology is going. If you’re not blindsided, you have a much better chance of adapting,” he said.
It’s important for humans to spot when AI-generated content doesn’t make sense.
People should think critically for moments when the “AI system messes up intrinsically,” he said, adding that “the entity that’s controlling it, in some cases, may not have your best interests at heart.”

|
New York (CNN) — The chief executive of one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence labs is warning that the technology could cause a dramatic spike in unemployment in the very near future. He says policymakers and corporate leaders aren’t ready for it.
“AI is starting to get better than humans at almost all intellectual tasks, and we’re going to collectively, as a society, grapple with it,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in an interview on Thursday. “AI is going to get better at what everyone does, including what I do, including what other CEOs do.”
The full conversation is set to air on CNN at 8 p.m. ET.
Amodei believes the AI tools that Anthropic and other companies are racing to build could eliminate half of entry-level, white-collar jobs and spike unemployment to as much as 20% in the next one to five years, he told Axios on Wednesday. That could mean the US unemployment rate growing fivefold in just a few years; the last time it neared that rate was briefly at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It’s not the first dire warning about how rapidly advancing AI could upend the economy in the coming years. Academics and economists have also cautioned that AI could replace some jobs or tasks in the coming years, with varying degrees of seriousness. Earlier this year, a World Economic Forum survey showed that 41% of employers plan to downsize their workforce because of AI automation by 2030.
But Amodei’s prediction is notable because it’s coming from one of the industry’s top leaders and because of the scale of disruption it foretells. It also comes as Anthropic is now selling AI technology on the promise that it can work nearly the length of a typical human workday.
The historical narrative about how tech advancement works is that technology would automate lower-paying, lower-skilled jobs, and the displaced human workers can be trained to take more lucrative positions. However, if Amodei is correct, AI could wipe out more specialized white-collar roles that may have required years of expensive training and education — and those workers may not be so easily retrained for equal or higher-paying jobs.
Amodei suggested that lawmakers may even need to consider levying a tax on AI companies.
“If AI creates huge total wealth, a lot of that will, by default, go to the AI companies and less to ordinary people,” he said. “So, you know, it’s definitely not in my economic interest to say that, but I think this is something we should consider and I think it shouldn’t be a partisan thing.”
‘Faster, broader, harder to adapt to’
Researchers and economists have forecast that professionals from paralegals and payroll clerks to financial advisers and coders could see their jobs dramatically change – if not eliminated entirely – in the coming years thanks to AI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said last month that he expects AI to write half the company’s code within the next year; Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said as much as 30% of his company’s code is currently being written by AI.
Amodei told CNN that Anthropic tracks how many people say they use its AI models to augment human jobs versus to entirely automate human jobs. Currently, he said, it’s about 60% of people using AI for augmentation and 40% for automation, but that the latter is growing.
Last week, the company released a new AI model that it says can work independently for almost seven hours in a row, taking on more complex tasks with less human oversight.
Amodei says most people don’t realize just how quickly AI is advancing, but he advises “ordinary citizens” to “learn to use AI.”
“People have adapted to past technological changes,” Amodei said. “But everyone I’ve talked to has said this technological change looks different, it looks faster, it looks harder to adapt to, it’s broader. The pace of progress keeps catching people off guard.”
Estimates about just how quickly AI models are improving vary widely. And some skeptics have predicted that as big AI companies run out of high-quality, publicly available data to train their models on, after having already gobbled up much of the internet, the rate of change in the industry may slow.
Some who study the technology also say it’s more likely that AI will automate certain tasks, rather than entire jobs, giving human workers more time to do complex tasks that computers aren’t good at yet.
But regardless of where they fall on the prediction scale, most experts agree that it is time for the world to start planning for the economic impacts of AI.
“People sometimes comfort themselves (by) saying, ‘Oh, but the economy always creates new jobs,’” University of Virginia business and economics professor Anton Korinek said in an email. “That’s true historically, but unlike in the past, intelligent machines will be able to do the new jobs as well, and probably learn them faster than us humans.”
Amodei said he also believes that AI will have positive impacts, such as curing disease. “I wouldn’t be building this technology if I didn’t think that it could make the world better,” he said.
For the CEO, making this warning now could serve, in some ways, to boost his reputation as a responsible leader in the space. The top AI labs are competing not only to have the most powerful models, but also be perceived as the most trustworthy stewards of the tech transformation, amid growing questions from lawmakers and the public about the technology’s efficacy and implications.
“Amodei’s message is not just about warning the public. It’s part truth-telling, part reputation management, part market positioning, and part policy influence,” tech futurist and Futuremade CEO Tracey Follows told CNN in an email. “If he makes the claim that this will cause 20% unemployment over the next five years, and no-one stops or impedes the ongoing development of this model … then Anthropic cannot be to blame in the future — they warned people.”
Amodei told Cooper that he’s “raising the alarm” because other AI leaders “haven’t as much and I think someone needs to say it and to be clear.”
“I don’t think we can stop this bus,” Amodei said. “From the position that I’m in, I can maybe hope to do a little to steer the technology in a direction where we become aware of the harms, we address the harms, and we’re still able to achieve the benefits.”

My recent research with Joseph Stiglitz examines how to guide technological progress—particularly in AI—to increase labor demand rather than diminish it ...
|
Recent advances in artificial intelligence have triggered widespread anxiety about the future of work. These concerns aren’t misplaced. Unlike previous technological revolutions, which ultimately increased demand for labor, the current wave of AI development threatens to fundamentally alter the relationship between labor and capital in ways we have not seen before.
I strongly believe in the power of technological progress to improve human well-being. Innovation has been the primary driver of rising living standards throughout history. However, ensuring that these forces improve the human condition requires that technological advances move in the right direction and allow our institutions of governance to keep pace.
My recent research with Joseph Stiglitz examines how to guide technological progress—particularly in AI—to increase labor demand rather than diminish it. While technological advancement is often portrayed as an inevitable force beyond our control, our work challenges this technological fatalism. The future isn’t predetermined by blind technological forces or market dynamics that we are powerless to influence.
Instead, we argue that society can and should actively steer technological progress toward innovations that augment human capabilities rather than replace them. Moreover, in the longer term, if AI reaches human levels of intelligence, alternative ways of ensuring shared prosperity will be required, and technological progress should focus on improving human welfare more broadly.
The Alarming Trajectory of Labor-Saving Innovation
Looking at the evidence of recent decades, we should be concerned. While technological progress typically increases economic output, how these gains are distributed depends on the specific nature of the innovations involved. Progress can be labor-using (increasing wages) or labor-saving (reducing wages). Historically, even capital-biased innovations usually increased wages to some degree.
But recent data points to a troubling trend: many current innovations are distinctly labor-saving, threatening not just temporary job displacement but permanent wage depression. When economists like Acemoglu and Restrepo examine the impact of industrial robots on manufacturing communities, they find persistent negative effects on employment and wages that extend far beyond the directly affected sectors.
This trend is even more apparent when we look at wage growth over recent decades. While real GDP per capita has approximately doubled since 1980, median real wages for American workers have grown by barely 10%. For non-supervisory workers, real wages have stagnated. This divergence signals that technological progress is increasingly leaving workers behind.
If AI development continues along this path, we face the prospect of a future where machines can perform an ever-growing range of tasks more cheaply than humans. Market wages would be determined by how inexpensively machines could perform various jobs, resulting in steadily declining wages that could eventually fall below subsistence levels.
Not All AI Is Created Equal
The good news is that technological progress isn’t monolithic. Some innovations benefit workers while others harm them. Our research identifies key factors that determine whether an innovation will be labor-using versus labor-saving:
Complementarity to labor: Does the innovation make human workers more productive, or does it replace them entirely? Factor share: How much of the economic value created by the innovation flows to labor versus capital? Market size and demand elasticity: How large is the market for the products affected, and how much does demand increase when prices fall? Relative income of affected workers: Are the workers affected by the innovation already well-off or relatively disadvantaged?
Consider these two contrasting AI applications:
Autonomous vehicles could potentially eliminate millions of driving jobs with few complementary benefits for the displaced workers.
Intelligent assistants, on the other hand, augment human capabilities by providing real-time guidance that makes workers more productive. For example, augmented reality devices could help less-skilled workers perform complex tasks by providing step-by-step instructions.
The difference between these two innovations is not just in their technical specifications—it is in their relationship to human labor. One aims to replace workers; the other aims to enhance their capabilities.
Actively Steering Technological Progress
Our technological trajectory is not inevitable. It is shaped by the choices we make—as individuals, as organizations, and as a society. Here are several approaches to steer technological progress in a more labor-friendly direction in the near term:
Educate Entrepreneurs and Developers: Many technology entrepreneurs and AI researchers genuinely want their innovations to benefit society broadly. Providing better guidance on how specific design choices affect labor markets could help them make decisions that create more inclusive prosperity. The current focus on avoiding algorithmic bias could be expanded to include concerns about labor market impacts. Incentivize Labor-Using Innovation: Our tax system currently incentivizes replacing workers with machines. Labor is often the most heavily taxed factor in our economic system, creating strong motivation for labor-saving innovation. Simply adjusting these incentives—by reducing taxes on labor and potentially implementing targeted taxes on purely labor-replacing technologies—could significantly shift innovation toward labor-complementary technologies. Direct Government Research Funding: A substantial portion of AI research is conducted or funded by government agencies. These public investments should be evaluated not just on their technological merits but on their likely impact on labor markets. Research proposals could be required to include assessments of how the resulting innovations might affect different types of workers. Empower Workers in Technology Decisions: Workers’ councils and labor representatives who participate in corporate decision-making can help steer companies away from technologies designed to make workers more replaceable. Workers often have valuable insights into how technology could enhance rather than replace their contributions, but these perspectives are frequently overlooked in the innovation process. Non-Monetary Benefits of Work: Jobs provide more than just income—they offer identity, meaning, status, and social connections. When evaluating technological impact, we should consider these non-economic dimensions. As society becomes wealthier, the non-monetary aspects of work become increasingly important relative to pure income generation.
Concrete Examples of Labor-Friendly AI
What might labor-friendly AI look like in practice? Consider diagnostic AI systems that augment rather than replace healthcare professionals, providing recommendations that human doctors can evaluate and incorporate into their decision-making. Manufacturing assistants could guide less-skilled workers through complex assembly processes, effectively upskilling them rather than replacing them. AI-powered platforms might match workers with opportunities based on their unique skills and preferences, helping to create more efficient labor markets. Educational AI could personalize learning to help workers develop new capabilities throughout their careers, while communication tools could help teams collaborate across language barriers and time zones, expanding the range of projects that distributed teams can accomplish. These examples demonstrate how AI can enhance human capabilities and create value through complementarity rather than substitution.
Bridging to the Future
While the strategies above are critical for the near term, we should also be open to the possibility that they may not be sufficient forever. Our society has organized itself around labor as the primary mechanism for distributing income for centuries, but AI development may eventually challenge this fundamental arrangement. We may want to steer AI development toward labor-complementary technologies in the near term, recognizing the deep integration of work in our social structures and the challenge of rapidly transitioning to an alternative system. However, the long-term trajectory of technological progress suggests we should simultaneously begin to build institutional foundations for an economy in which humans can flourish even though labor may play a less central role. Such institutions should aim to create widespread prosperity even if the economic value of human labor diminishes.
These two strategies are not in conflict—they are complementary approaches operating on different time horizons. By actively steering technological progress in labor-friendly directions now, we buy time to carefully develop and implement the more fundamental changes that may be needed later.
The long-term trajectory of AI development may eventually lead to machines that can perform virtually all economically valuable tasks more cheaply than the subsistence cost of human labor. This potential future would require fundamental changes to how we organize our economy and society.
As the output produced by autonomous machines rises and the market value of labor declines, it would become optimal to gradually phase out work. The good news is that a world of abundant machine production means unprecedented levels of output that could, in principle, support everyone. The challenge is creating institutions to ensure this abundance is widely shared. A Seed Universal Income that automatically scales with the growth of non-labor income could provide one solution. Alternative approaches include public ownership stakes in AI companies or dividend systems that distribute the returns from technological progress. With the right institutions in place to share the gains of such technologies, the end of work could mean not destitution, but liberation—allowing humans to focus on creative pursuits, relationships, and activities that bring meaning and fulfillment independent of their market value.
Conclusion
The stakes are immense and require us to think both tactically and strategically. In the near term, there is a strong case for actively steering AI development toward technologies that complement human workers rather than replace them. This approach maintains the viability of labor markets while our social structures are still deeply tied to employment as the primary means of income distribution.
Simultaneously, we need to begin the difficult work of reimagining our economic institutions for a world where the traditional relationship between labor and capital may be fundamentally altered. By pursuing this dual approach—steering technology in the short term while building new systems for the long term—we can work toward a future where technological progress serves human flourishing in its broadest sense.
The path of technological development isn’t predetermined—it’s chosen. The choices we make today—both in the technological and the institutional realm—will shape not just our immediate economic landscape but the very foundations of our society for generations to come.

Let's get started!
Top 10 Data Science Jobs
Here are the top 10 data science jobs that are currently shaping the industry:
1. Data Engineer
Data engineers are the backbone for building, maintaining, and optimizing the technical infrastructure that powers data-driven decision-making. While data scientists focus on analyzing data to uncover insights, data engineers work behind the scenes, ensuring data is reliably collected, stored, and accessible to analysts and scientists.
On a typical day, a data engineer might design databases, pull data from APIs, write scripts to transform datasets, build automated pipelines, and manage cloud infrastructure. They collaborate closely with data analysts and scientists to ensure datasets are ready for analysis and reporting.
Salary: \$102K–\$168K/yr (Glassdoor)
Responsibilities
Build scalable data pipelines to transform and process large datasets efficiently.
Maintain robust databases and data warehouses for easy access and analysis.
Ensure efficient data collection from APIs and external data sources.
Develop and automate data workflows using tools like Apache Airflow and dbt.
Collaborate with stakeholders to understand data needs and provide technical solutions.
Key Skills
Coding expertise in languages such as Python, Java, or Scala.
Deep knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases.
Hands-on experience with big data frameworks like Hadoop and Apache Spark.
Cloud infrastructure experience on platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
Ability to implement CI/CD pipelines and automated data processes.
Companies need skilled data engineers to handle all the technical work that makes analytics and machine learning actually possible. Without them, data teams would spend most of their time fixing broken pipelines instead of finding insights.
2. Database Administrator
Database Administrators (DBAs) safeguard an organization's data by managing, securing, and optimizing database infrastructure. While data scientists analyze and interpret data for strategic insights, DBAs ensure databases operate smoothly, securely, and efficiently, providing a robust foundation for all data-driven activities.
On a typical day, a DBA might monitor database performance, manage user access and security, and execute backup and recovery plans. They also collaborate closely with IT teams to implement new database systems, fine-tune database queries, and proactively troubleshoot issues to maintain optimal performance.
Salary: \$83K–\$137K/yr (Glassdoor)
Responsibilities
Design, implement, and manage database systems and infrastructures
Ensure efficient data storage, retrieval, and performance optimization through regular tuning
Develop and oversee database backup, recovery, and security protocols
Monitor system performance, proactively identifying and resolving database issues
Coordinate with technical teams to integrate databases with existing software and infrastructure
Ensure compliance with data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and internal governance policies
Key Skills
Proficiency in SQL and relational databases (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL)
Familiarity with NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Cassandra) and cloud-based database solutions (AWS, Azure)
Experience with database optimization techniques and query performance tuning
Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills for identifying and resolving technical issues quickly
Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders

AI is eating media. It won't stop there. - Phil Rosen's Blog

Unfortunately, economists and technologists have been warning for years that AI would trigger a white-collar apocalypse. Knowledge workers — those in writing, ...
|
Business Insider, my former employer, announced today that it’s laying off 21% of its staff.
This is the most drastic cut in media I have seen. When I worked at there from 2021 to 2024, the company did two layoffs on a much smaller scale.
Executives at the time cited economic uncertainty, but the message was different this time. In an internal memo that leaked to social media, CEO Barbara Peng attributed the restructuring to declining readership and a doubling-down on artificial intelligence.
Over 70% of Business Insider employees are already using its internal ChatGPT product regularly, according to the memo. The resulting productivity gains have pushed the company to reevaluate its labor needs.
It’s a brutal, if unsurprising, moment. I still have friends who work at Business Insider, and some who were impacted this week.
Unfortunately, economists and technologists have been warning for years that AI would trigger a white-collar apocalypse. Knowledge workers — those in writing, research, accounting, law, coding — are in the early innings of a structural change.
As a newsletter author, I fall into this camp, too. I’m hoping that a personal brand, distribution and business chops insulate me, but no one will be immune from the fallout.
I struggle to envision a world where AI won’t eat everything, to borrow the words Marc Andreessen first used to describe software in 2011. Corporate media roles will suffer from severe collateral damage.
AI models do not get sick or request time off, nor do they unionize, require health insurance, or talk back to managers. The tools we have now from OpenAI, Google and other firms are already extremely effective.
And remember, today’s models are the worst they’ll ever be.
As I’ve written before, these tools commoditize expertise, which radically shrinks the separation “experts” think they have from everyone else.
That means journalists, who benefit from an above-average ability to write, research and synthesize information, no longer have the moat they once did.
The expert class of doctors, lawyers and academics are confronting the same existential question.
Since forever, knowledge has been hard-earned and highly esteemed. Schooling, jobs and social media have always rewarded those who can wield their knowledge best.
What happens to our psyches, jobs and the economy when knowledge is no longer scarce?
That’s a conversation for another day (though that day is coming fast).
For now, I anticipate that other media outlets will use Business Insider’s layoff to justify similar moves of their own.
While AI-driven productivity boosts could be a reason for newsrooms to slash jobs, I’m not yet convinced that shaky balance sheets and plummeting web traffic are not the real catalysts.
It’s tempting to blame innovation for bloodletting in media, but what we’re seeing now is less about technological disruption and more so a series of delayed consequences.
Over the last decade, advertising and on-page clicks have propped up the economic engine fueling digital newsrooms. Meanwhile, cheap capital and lofty valuations made it easier to do business.
The bill is finally coming due, and AI is only a piece of the story.
When media executives invoke new technology to justify layoffs, they are obscuring the more painful reality that they have been losing eyeballs — and so, revenue — since the pandemic.
Online audiences have fractured as media sources proliferated, which has pushed advertisers to seek out industry-specific, niche platforms.
Mainstream news companies — masters of producing algorithm-friendly content at scale — are simply not holding up under the new economics.
What we’re seeing now is not so much a clean technological disruption as it is an overdue correction.
Media companies built with scale-at-any-cost strategies are colliding into a reality that favors the niche and nimble.
The coming months will provide no shortage of winners and losers.

Conclusion
One thing is clear from the numbers: AI isn’t just something companies are experimenting with. It’s already influencing how work gets done.
Some jobs are changing shape, others are being reduced, and new ones are emerging in their place. The pace might vary from one field to another, but the direction is steady.
This shift brings new challenges and opportunities for workers. Learning how to adapt has become part of the job itself.
In many cases, it’s not about losing a job entirely but about learning how to do it differently. The more we understand these changes, the better prepared we’ll be to keep up with them.
These statistics aren’t here to alarm but to inform. Whether you’re planning, rethinking your path, or just trying to stay aware, knowing what’s changing is the first step. No matter where you stand, this is something worth paying attention to.

|
Advantages commonly attributed to automation include higher production rates and increased productivity, more efficient use of materials, better product quality, improved safety, shorter workweeks for labour, and reduced factory lead times. Higher output and increased productivity have been two of the biggest reasons in justifying the use of automation. Despite the claims of high quality from good workmanship by humans, automated systems typically perform the manufacturing process with less variability than human workers, resulting in greater control and consistency of product quality. Also, increased process control makes more efficient use of materials, resulting in less scrap.
Worker safety is an important reason for automating an industrial operation. Automated systems often remove workers from the workplace, thus safeguarding them against the hazards of the factory environment. In the United States the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHA) was enacted with the national objective of making work safer and protecting the physical well-being of the worker. OSHA has had the effect of promoting the use of automation and robotics in the factory.
Another benefit of automation is the reduction in the number of hours worked on average per week by factory workers. About 1900 the average workweek was approximately 70 hours. This has gradually been reduced to a standard workweek in the United States of about 40 hours. Mechanization and automation have played a significant role in this reduction. Finally, the time required to process a typical production order through the factory is generally reduced with automation.
A main disadvantage often associated with automation, worker displacement, has been discussed above. Despite the social benefits that might result from retraining displaced workers for other jobs, in almost all cases the worker whose job has been taken over by a machine undergoes a period of emotional stress. In addition to displacement from work, the worker may be displaced geographically. In order to find other work, an individual may have to relocate, which is another source of stress.
Other disadvantages of automated equipment include the high capital expenditure required to invest in automation (an automated system can cost millions of dollars to design, fabricate, and install), a higher level of maintenance needed than with a manually operated machine, and a generally lower degree of flexibility in terms of the possible products as compared with a manual system (even flexible automation is less flexible than humans, the most versatile machines of all).
Also there are potential risks that automation technology will ultimately subjugate rather than serve humankind. The risks include the possibility that workers will become slaves to automated machines, that the privacy of humans will be invaded by vast computer data networks, that human error in the management of technology will somehow endanger civilization, and that society will become dependent on automation for its economic well-being.
These dangers aside, automation technology, if used wisely and effectively, can yield substantial opportunities for the future. There is an opportunity to relieve humans from repetitive, hazardous, and unpleasant labour in all forms. And there is an opportunity for future automation technologies to provide a growing social and economic environment in which humans can enjoy a higher standard of living and a better way of life.

If you work in finance and haven’t heard some version of “AI is coming for your job,” congrats on living under a rock—must be peaceful down there.
The headlines are relentless: AI to replace 800 million jobs, robots to eliminate accountants, finance pros face extinction. The fear is thick enough to balance a P&L on. But as someone knee-deep in forecasting models and month-end madness, I’m here to tell you: the truth is a little more nuanced (and a lot less apocalyptic).
Let me take you back to last quarter. I was buried in variance analysis, trying to make sense of a messy data dump from three different systems that don’t speak the same language (classic). I threw the mess into ChatGPT on a whim—just to see if it could help with a quick summary. In under a minute, it spit out something that would’ve taken me an hour to clean and narrate. Cue the existential dread.
For about 30 seconds, I genuinely wondered if I’d just automated myself out of relevance. But here’s the thing: the output was solid… until it wasn’t. No context, no judgment, no understanding of why sales dipped or why OPEX was spiking in that one rogue cost center. That’s where I stepped back in—with insight, experience, and a healthy dose of side-eye toward bad data. AI can handle data, but it lacks the financial expertise required for nuanced decision-making.
So will AI replace finance jobs? Not exactly. It’s transforming them. Automating the grunt work. Augmenting the analysis. For the sharp, adaptable finance pro, AI isn’t a threat—it’s a force multiplier.
The Automation Avalanche
Let’s be honest—finance has always had its fair share of soul-sucking tasks. The kind of work that makes you question your life choices at 11:47 PM on day three of close. The good news? That’s exactly the type of work artificial intelligence is targeting by automating routine tasks.
AI automation is increasingly taking over manual and repetitive tasks like financial data entry and reconciliation, allowing finance professionals to focus on more strategic and high-value work.
Routine and Repetitive Tasks on the Chopping Block
If your job is 80% Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and crossing your fingers that Excel doesn’t crash—yeah, it’s time to rethink your workflow. Here’s what AI is already bulldozing:
Data Entry and Reconciliation AI can match thousands of records in seconds without whining or needing coffee. Bank recs? Subledger rollups? You don’t need an intern for that anymore—you need a bot.

Basic Reporting Those weekly reports where you copy data from four systems, paste into a “template,” refresh pivots, and pray everything lines up? AI can automate tasks to auto-generate them and even narrate what changed.
Those weekly reports where you copy data from four systems, paste into a “template,” refresh pivots, and pray everything lines up? AI can automate tasks to auto-generate them and even narrate what changed. Routine Compliance Checks Think audit trails, flagging anomalies, or running through SOX controls. Machine learning models don’t sleep, and they don’t overlook the $30k rounding error you swore was “immaterial.”
Case Study: IBM Pulled the Trigger
Let’s zoom out for a second. IBM’s HR division recently made headlines for replacing hundreds of jobs with AI agents. But here’s the kicker—they didn’t just cut and walk. They reallocated those resources into programming, data science, and customer-facing roles. They repurposed talent instead of trashing it, leveraging AI to enhance their efficiency by automating routine tasks and optimizing costs. Source: TechRadar
That’s the pattern. AI wipes out repetitive admin work—then companies shift people into higher-value roles. It’s not about replacing humans with robots. It’s about offloading the junk work so the humans can finally breathe (and strategize). By automating financial processes such as data entry and transaction processing, companies can streamline operations and improve overall efficiency.
Real Talk: What This Means for Us
AI’s sweet spot is rules-based, repeatable, and predictable. The stuff you dread doing? It’s already halfway to being automated. And that’s not a bad thing.
This isn’t the apocalypse—it’s a long-overdue cleanup. AI is the intern who never takes lunch and actually wants to do the boring stuff. Our job now? Stop hoarding tasks we hate out of fear, and start looking at how we can move upstream.
Because if you’re still spending your time updating 27 tabs in Excel by hand… AI isn’t the threat. It’s the rescue boat you’ve been ignoring.
The Human Edge in Finance
Let’s set the record straight: AI can crunch numbers, sort data, and even write a half-decent summary. But you know what it can’t do?
Navigate a messy board meeting with half the facts, read between the lines of a CFO’s offhand comment, or decide whether it’s worth nuking a vendor relationship over a sketchy invoice. That, my friend, still takes human expertise.
When it comes to financial decision making, AI can analyze data, but it is the human element that interprets this data within a broader ethical and regulatory framework. This ensures responsible and informed investment choices are made, highlighting the indispensable role of human judgment.
Irreplaceable Skills of Finance Professionals
Here’s where we still hold the high ground—and it’s not just wishful thinking:
Critical Thinking and Judgment AI can tell you what happened, but human professionals figure out why it matters. It’s not just about the numbers—it’s what they mean in the real world, with context, tradeoffs, and consequences.
AI can tell you what happened, but human professionals figure out why it matters. It’s not just about the numbers—it’s what they mean in the real world, with context, tradeoffs, and consequences. Emotional Intelligence and Client Relationships Machines don’t pick up on body language, sarcasm, or that weird energy in a QBR when the numbers are off. Humans do. That’s how deals are won and careers are made.
Machines don’t pick up on body language, sarcasm, or that weird energy in a QBR when the numbers are off. Humans do. That’s how deals are won and careers are made. Ethical Decision-Making When AI flags a borderline transaction, it doesn’t weigh reputational risk or regulatory nuance. It doesn’t think about gray areas—it only sees 1s and 0s. That’s where ethics and leadership step in.
Expert Insight: The EPOCH Framework
According to a March 2025 study from researchers at MIT and Harvard, AI still flops at anything involving:
Empathy, Presence, Opinion, Creativity, and Hope—a.k.a., the EPOCH framework.
Source: arXiv preprint
Translation? AI might be fast, but it’s emotionally bankrupt. It doesn’t “get” people. That’s a problem in a profession where relationships, persuasion, and judgment calls can make or break your impact.
Real-World Example: Banking on Human Grit
Take investment banking. Everyone loves to joke that Excel runs the show—and sure, AI can spit out discounted cash flows all day long. But junior bankers still grind 80-hour weeks, not because AI can’t do the math, but because insight is earned through understanding financial markets.
Reading a room. Knowing when to push back on a deal term. Understanding that the numbers say one thing, but the market’s appetite says another? That’s not in the code and requires human involvement.
As the Financial Times recently noted: AI might save time, but it can’t replace the instincts that come from experience in high-stakes environments. Source: FT.com
AI as a Collaborative Tool
Let’s kill the “AI vs. humans” narrative right now. The smartest finance teams aren’t replacing analysts with algorithms—they’re giving their analysts superpowers through AI-generated insights. These insights enable finance professionals to move away from mundane tasks towards more strategic decision-making.
This isn’t Skynet. It’s Iron Man. The suit doesn’t replace Tony Stark—it just makes him unstoppable by providing strategic guidance.
Augmentation, Not Replacement
AI shines when it’s not trying to take your job—but instead helping you do it faster, better, and with fewer midnight meltdowns. Here’s how it’s stepping in to integrate AI into your workflow:
Data Analysis AI can chew through massive datasets in seconds and interpret market trends most of us would miss between our third and fourth cup of coffee, significantly enhancing financial operations.

Risk Assessment AI can flag anomalies, scan for regulatory issues, and run “what-if” scenarios without breaking a sweat. It’s like having your own internal risk radar running 24/7.
Case Study: Bloomberg’s Not Replacing—They’re Supercharging
Bloomberg’s tech chief, Shawn Edwards, put it bluntly: “The technologists are the rock stars now.”
They’ve embedded AI across the board—from parsing real-time financial news to building predictive analytics tools that help analysts make faster, sharper decisions.
But here’s the key: they didn’t gut the team. They armed the team.
Source: Financial News London
Think of it like this: Analysts still drive the car. AI is just upgrading the GPS, adding lane assist, and occasionally whispering, “Hey, maybe don’t miss that revenue spike on page 12.”
The Evolving Job Landscape
Yes, some roles are disappearing. No, it’s not time to panic.
The finance world isn’t going extinct—it’s going through puberty. Awkward, messy, transformative—but necessary. And just like puberty, some things shrink, others grow, and your priorities shift along the way. The job market is evolving, with AI not only posing a threat of job displacement in finance roles but also creating new opportunities for finance professionals to adapt and enhance their skill sets.
This digital transformation within the finance sector, driven by the integration of advanced technologies like AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants, is enhancing efficiency in managing routine tasks. It also improves the accessibility and consistency of customer interactions, signaling a broader move towards automation and innovation in financial services.
New Roles Emerging
As automation handles more of the grunt work, the org chart is getting a facelift. We’re seeing new seats open at the table—roles that didn’t exist a decade ago, and frankly, sound kind of badass:
AI Compliance Officers Someone’s gotta make sure these models play by the rules. Enter the finance pro who knows their way around both regulatory frameworks and machine learning outputs.

Part tech whisperer, part finance translator. These are the folks who connect the dots between automation tools and business value—without needing a 50-slide deck to explain it. Data Scientists As AI transforms finance roles, data scientists are becoming essential players. They merge financial acumen with strong programming capabilities, allowing finance professionals to engage in more strategic and creative functions.
To thrive in these new roles, finance professionals need to develop ai related skills. Companies are investing in AI training programs to ensure their workforce is adept at using AI-driven tools. Fostering a culture of continuous learning is crucial to enhance team capabilities and remain competitive in the evolving landscape.
The Stats Are Clear
According to a recent Datarails CFO survey, 57% of CFOs expect AI to reduce finance roles by 2026. Sounds scary, right? The impact of AI on the financial sector is significant, reshaping efficiency and security through advancements like algorithmic trading and fraud detection.
But here’s the twist: most of those same CFOs also expect AI to unlock entirely new finance functions—stuff that’s more strategic, more analytical, and way less about babysitting spreadsheets. These advancements create opportunities for human expertise in financial decision-making, ensuring that while AI processes data, human professionals add value through their understanding of market dynamics and ethical considerations.
The job count may shift. But the opportunity? It’s exploding.
Insight: Evolve or Be Eclipsed
Here’s the cold truth: if your role is 100% repeatable, it’s already halfway to being automated.
But if you lean into adaptability—if you start thinking like a product manager for your own career—you’ll start spotting those next-gen opportunities before they’re even posted on LinkedIn.
The future isn’t about job security—it’s about skill liquidity. It’s not “will my job exist?” It’s “how fast can I evolve into the one that does?”
Benefits of AI in Finance
The benefits of AI in finance are nothing short of game-changing. Imagine automating routine and repetitive tasks like data entry and report generation, freeing up your time to focus on more strategic activities. AI can handle these mundane tasks with ease, allowing finance professionals to dive into financial modeling and portfolio management without the constant distraction of administrative work.
But the advantages don’t stop there. AI’s ability to analyze complex data and identify patterns means finance teams can make more informed investment decisions. This not only drives business growth but also enhances competitiveness in the finance industry. With AI, you’re not just keeping up with the market; you’re staying ahead of it.
Real-World Impact: Success Stories
Several financial institutions have already embraced AI, achieving remarkable improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and risk management. For instance, AI-powered systems are now being used to detect and prevent fraudulent activities like money laundering and terrorist financing. These systems can analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, flagging suspicious transactions before they become a problem.
Moreover, AI-driven tools have enabled finance professionals to outperform human traders in certain markets. By leveraging AI, these professionals can make quicker, more accurate financial decisions, driving financial performance and success in the finance sector. It’s clear that AI isn’t just a tool—it’s a catalyst for transformation.
Risk Management and AI
AI has also transformed the field of risk management, enabling finance professionals to identify and mitigate potential risks more effectively. Machine learning models can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and anomalies, allowing risk managers to make more informed decisions about risk assessment and management. Imagine having a system that can monitor financial transactions in real-time, flagging potential risks and ensuring compliance with financial regulations before they escalate into major issues.
These AI-powered systems act as a 24/7 risk radar, enabling finance teams to respond quickly to potential threats. As AI continues to evolve, its role in risk management will only grow, providing finance professionals with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex financial landscape. By integrating AI into their risk management strategies, finance teams can drive business growth and maintain a competitive edge in the finance industry.
In conclusion, AI is not here to replace finance professionals but to empower them. By embracing AI and leveraging its capabilities, finance professionals can enhance their roles, drive innovation, and ensure their organizations remain competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.
Preparing for the AI-Enhanced Future
Alright—so AI’s not here to replace you. But it will outpace you if you sit still. This next chapter isn’t about fearing change—it’s about weaponizing it through continuous learning.
Think of AI like a power tool. Dangerous in the wrong hands. Magical in the right ones. Your job now? Become the kind of finance pro who embraces a growth mindset, knows how to wield it like a pro, not stare at it like it’s going to take your job and your lunch.
Skill Development: Stay Sharp or Get Replaced
The tools are evolving. Are you?
Learn AI and Data Analytics You don’t need to become a Python wizard or build neural nets from scratch—but you do need to understand how AI models work, what makes data clean (or dirty), and how to ask better questions of your tools. Technical expertise in these areas is crucial, especially as AI integration becomes more prevalent in finance roles.
Start with Power BI. Learn Power Query. Dabble in ChatGPT prompts. You’ll be shocked how fast the productivity ROI shows up.
Double Down on Human Skills AI can’t lead a meeting, build trust with a client, or navigate office politics without starting a civil war. Your EQ is your job security. Communication. Empathy. Influence. Those are the future-proof skills. Financial analysts, in particular, will continue to be indispensable due to their critical thinking and industry expertise, which AI cannot replicate.
Mindset Shift: From Threat to Teammate in AI Adoption
If you treat AI like an enemy, you’ll always be playing catch-up.
But if you treat it like your junior analyst—the one that never sleeps, never complains, and doesn’t steal your yogurt from the breakroom fridge—it becomes your secret weapon.
The real threat isn’t AI. It’s finance pros who refuse to adapt.

AI is changing everything about how we work. But how is it going to change the workplace itself - and our approach to office design?
The influence of AI is already palpable in modern offices. It’s beginning to control the physical environment and the daily rhythms of work.
And the predictions for its effect on productivity continue to amaze:
With the rise of agentic AI - software that can plan and act autonomously - we’re only just beginning to understand the nature of the transformation ahead.
Agentic AI is reshaping the world of work
Agentic AI refers to software systems that don’t just assist with tasks but can reason, decide, and action entire decision chains independently. They are not just generative AI tools - they are systems capable of executing complex tasks from end to end.
As the Harvard Business Review explains:
“In 2023, an AI bot could support call centre representatives by synthesising and summarising large volumes of data... In 2025, an AI agent will be able to converse with a customer and plan the actions it will take afterwards - processing a payment, checking for fraud, and completing a shipping action.”
This leap goes far beyond partial automation.
From accounts departments to customer support teams, it seems, the functions of many office based teams are about to swept away.
But for many thinkers, this kind of automation is not about displacement. it's about delegating workflows; freeing human workers to focus on higher-value, strategic and creative tasks.
So, will AI take our jobs?

However, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is optimistic that those losses will be offset by the creation of more satisfying, creative roles:

Welcome to the age of superagency
Where offices once supported routine, process-driven tasks, with AI they’ll become places where humans co-operate with tech in much more exciting ways.
This is what the business thinkers Kevin Roose and Ethan Mollick call ‘superagency’.
“Superagency is what happens when large numbers of people get access to a transformative technology and apply new superpowers to their lives in unrestricted, and inventive ways. Because so many other people have new superpowers too, new capabilities and adaptations cascade through society, endowing every individual with a multitude of second-order benefits.” Roose & Mollick, Superagency, What Could Possibly Go Right with Our AI Future
In this era of AI-powered superagency:
Marketers can ideate end design full campaigns in an afternoon.
Analysts can model, visualise, and simulate in minutes.
Product managers can prototype and code software —without ever writing a line themselves.
Supporting the age of superagency
Individual workers won’t just be more efficient, AI will empower them to collaborate more freely and effectively to find new solutions to age-old business problems.
People will need to come together to co-create at speed
Teams will leverage AI outputs to unlock instant execution across disciplines
Learning and up-skilling will take centre stage in business hubs
Human creative drive, not capacity, will become the true constraint
The AI-augmented office: a platform for performance
To support this new world of work, the office is evolving into a performance platform - a dynamic environment designed to unlock human potential through supporting new levels of environmental control, agility, creativity, and collaboration.
A case study - the AI powered environment
In fact, AI tools are already transforming the physical workplace to make for more frictionless and efficient experiences.
Deloitte's purpose-built smart office "The Edge" in Amsterdam showcases an AI-driven office as a performance platform, using its 28,000 sensors to create a hyper-efficient, responsive environment.
The Edge Amsterdam
At The Edge, employees use an app for personalised hot-desking and to control lighting and climate, while AI dynamically optimises energy use, space, and operations based on real-time data.
This integration of smart automation and personalisation transforms The Edge into a dynamic platform that boosts efficiency and supports flexible, high-performance work.
Designing the office of the future
But here’s a growing challenge to fit out and furnish existing offices, too, to meet the changing demands of an AI driven world.
This article by Steelcase (backed by real-world office occupancy data) shows how traditional office spaces built for pre-hybrid work are quickly becoming dead zones.
It today’s hybrid and hyper-collaborative workstyles—blending focus, teamwork, and digital connection - demand environments that flex as fast as people do. And most offices haven’t kept up.
This article looks at a typical open plan office layouts:
And shows how they could be optimised for the age of superagency:
Plans generated through collaboration with AI, user data, feedback and designer expertise imagine new spaces that can flex more easily with changing occupancy demands.
Adding generative AI to brainstorming and problem-solving sessions will lead to a need for larger digital displays and the integration of analog and digital tools like markerboards and content cameras. And don’t just add video to meeting rooms. Consider furniture design and layout in relationship to the camera, lighting, microphones and acoustics.
🧭 Eight distinct work modes are now accessible within a single office footprint.
🛋️ Lounge and shielded areas offer quiet time for rejuvenation and deep focus.
🔇 Acoustic pods near workstations provide privacy without isolation.
🗂️ Lockers and personalisation zones offer autonomy even in non-assigned seating setups.
🧱 Modular walls like Everwall block distractions and support rapid space reconfiguration.
🖊️ Writable surfaces and pinboards keep ideas visible and help teams resume flow fast.
📺 Tech like the Surface Hub ensures hybrid collaboration is seamless and inclusive.
Thanks to AI, rooms are getting smarter. Zoom’s Intelligent Director taps into multiple cameras and advanced AI to ensure people in medium-to-large meetings are visible to remote attendees, even as they move. And Logitech’s AI-enabled cameras recognize when someone new joins or speaks and reframes the camera to include them. Microphones pick up voices and drown out periphery noise. And one-touch join makes it simple to get a meeting going.Immersive spaces with large screens can maximise virtual connections and work with arrays of content.
Smarter, faster, more informed design
But if the age of AI is demanding different office designs; office designers are using the new technology to bring their ideas to life.
Workplace design consultancies now use AI capabilities to dramatically enhance the early stages of planning.
With these tools, designers can:
Generate test layouts and spatial configurations using simple prompts.
Create mood boards and visual concepts in seconds with generative design platforms.
Analyse occupant feedback and iterate designs based on insights.
Simulate flow, acoustics, and occupancy patterns before anything is built.
These AI applications make the "what if?" phase of design faster, more visual, and more data-informed - leading to smarter decisions and increased efficiency.
Smarter product discovery and specification
From a procurement point of view, AI is also streamlining the furniture selection and specification process:
Instantly filtering vast product libraries by sustainability, price, technical skills required, or usage criteria.
Matching product needs to job roles and workplace types.
Supporting circular procurement and environmentally responsible sourcing strategies.
So, what’s the role of designers and dealerships in the age of AI?
With the design and analytical capabilities of generative AI - and the administrative power of agentic AI - some business leaders are asking about the continued relevance of design consultancies in this sector.
If AI can be deployed independently by procurement and workplace experience managers to help with furnishing and fit out - will their role be scaled back?
But right now, there are many compelling reasons to engage with dealerships that offer design consultancy, to help you navigate the challenges ahead.
1. AI generates ideas - but humans translate them into real spaces
Generative AI can produce visualisations, moodboards, or floorplans in seconds—but these are based on prompts, not context. Designers bring the deep knowledge of your brand, culture, and constraints needed to translate AI output into a coherent, buildable strategy.
2. Agentic AI supports procurement—but not relationships
Agentic AI can help automate product selection and track lead times or material availability. But it can’t replicate the value of trusted relationships —both with suppliers and within the design team itself. Designers and dealerships bring a level of collaboration, empathy, and responsiveness that AI can’t match.
3. Designers spot what data doesn’t reveal
AI excels at analysing patterns—but it doesn’t walk your space, observe behaviours, or hear what staff are saying or not saying. Designers provide a human layer of insight - reading between the lines to uncover needs, preferences, and usage habits that drive more intuitive design.
4. Workplace design is now a strategic lever—not just a layout
In an era of hybrid working, AI integration, and evolving employee expectations, your workplace is a critical tool for culture, performance, and talent retention. Designers and dealerships help organisations think bigger—advising on strategy, change management, and experience.
5. Implementation still relies on real-world expertise
You can simulate almost anything—but when it comes to actual fit-out, compliance, logistics, and installation, you need experts who understand the practical realities of delivery, coordination, and execution. This is where dealerships are invaluable—not just in planning, but in making it happen.

The rise of AI has sparked a wave of anxiety across the workforce. And it’s fair enough. Fears of mass unemployment, robotic bosses, and a future where human labour is increasingly obsolete make for dramatic headlines. And we’ve certainly seen a lot of those.
But the reality, as always, is a bit more nuanced. Contrary to popular belief, AI is not here to steal your job. What it is doing is reshaping the nature of work, at a scale and speed arguably not seen since the Industrial Revolution. Which is an anxiety-inducing prospect in itself, we’ll admit.
In some cases, this will make certain roles obsolete. That’s the truth. Others will simply speed up, or change. That’s true too.
Let’s break down some of the biggest myths about AI in the workplace – and the facts that often get lost in the noise.

New AI plan aims to help Michigan gain up to $70 billion in economic impact and create 130,000 good-paying jobs
In the next 5 to 10 years, AI is expected to reshape up to 2.8 million jobs in the state
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich - Building on Michigan’s Statewide Workforce Plan, the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) released the AI and the Workforce Plan to take advantage of the opportunities for growth presented by widespread adoption of artificial intelligence technologies. If Michigan takes the lead in developing AI strategy, infrastructure and workforce training, the state could gain up to $70 billion in economic impact and create 130,000 good-paying jobs. Michigan continues to be a leader nationally in workforce development, and this report is elevating current workforce development initiatives and identifying potential future actions as a part of comprehensive approach to enhance Michigan’s economic growth.
“Working with AI technology helps prepare our workforce to lead with the skills and tools Michiganders need to thrive in a rapidly evolving economy,” said Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II. “Through investing in our workforce and the evolving needs of employers in our state, we are ensuring everyone has a fair chance at economic mobility and a better future so anyone can make it in Michigan.”
In the next 5 to 10 years, AI is expected to reshape up to 2.8 million jobs in the state. Manufacturing, a key part of Michigan’s economy, will especially need workers to learn new skills — about 75% of jobs in that sector will require some form of upskilling, even though only a small number may be fully automated. AI and automation are closely linked, with AI enabling machines to take on not just simple tasks, but also more complex ones.
“Michigan needs to take action now to make sure we stay ahead in the future – creating a resilient economy for our residents and employers,” said LEO Director Susan Corbin. “Our future competitiveness is built upon how we learn, leverage and lead in building skills for an AI-enabled economy. By modernizing training infrastructure and making learning flexible, accessible and adaptable to real-world job demands, we’re fueling growth and creating an economy for Michigan that is strong and stable for generations to come.”
The AI plan is built on three pillars:
Invest in skill development for the AI economy. Michigan’s ability to stay competitive in an AI-driven economy depends on how well it builds and adapts its workforce through modern, accessible and real-world training. By embedding AI skills into education and ensuring broad access across communities, the state can boost economic mobility and lead in the future of work. Understand and guide the workforce landscape for knowledge and skilled trade workers. AI is influencing how work is performed across all sectors in Michigan — not just by changing how tasks are completed, but by transforming how work is done. By proactively preparing workers with adaptable skills and clear pathways into growing industries, Michigan can lead this transition and ensure everyone has a chance to succeed in the evolving economy. Enable businesses to adapt to the AI economy.
AI can boost Michigan’s economic competitiveness, but many small and medium-sized businesses lack the resources to adopt it effectively. By providing support like technical assistance and shared tools, Michigan can help these businesses grow, innovate and create jobs — ensuring they play a key role in the state’s AI-driven future.
Through action, embracing AI and its transformative power can accelerate workforce development and drive economic growth. Michigan is currently No. 1 in the nation in credential attainment for adults, No. 3 in the nation for helping adults get employed and top 10 in the nation for Registered Apprenticeships. Michigan is ready to make our state prepared for the future — by embracing the potential of AI, we have the chance to boost workforce development and support inclusive economic growth.
"Figuring out how to implement and leverage new AI strategies in an effective way is essential to small business growth and success in Michigan," said President & CEO of the Small Business Association of Michigan Brian Calley. AI continues to open up opportunities that didn't exist before and it's imperative to use it as a tool to support the creativity, ingenuity, and high-quality customer service that small business owners provide to their communities every day. We appreciate the Department of Labor & Economic Opportunity for their leadership in starting this important discussion that has the opportunity to transform how business is done now and into the future."
By weaving AI into our education, training and business systems, we can help people gain the skills they need to succeed in today’s job market and prepare for the opportunities of the future.
“Preparing Michiganders for an AI-enabled economy means investing in education at every stage, from early exposure to STEM to providing accessible pathways to postsecondary education and training,” said Director of the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) Dr. Beverly Walker-Griffea. “At MiLEAP, we’re committed to helping people gain the skills and credentials that lead to good-paying, high-demand jobs. By removing barriers and expanding access to lifelong learning, we’re empowering individuals to lead, innovate and contribute meaningfully to our state’s future success.”
"Michigan has a storied history of adapting business processes to new technology. With the new AI and the Workforce Plan, we can continue to push the boundaries of innovation in the AI transition, while working alongside our network of trusted partners to lead this transition responsibly," said Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) Senior Vice President of Regional Development Matt McCauley. "As a top ten state for research and development and home to recent investments including a $1.2 billion AI research facility outside of Ann Arbor, we can and will lead the emerging AI economy. If you want to make AI part of your business, we want you to 'make it' in Michigan."

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the dynamics of the workforce. It's not just a mere technological advancement; it's a revolution, the fifth of its ...
|
Emotional intelligence (EI) and artificial intelligence (AI) are two sides of a coin in today's work environment. Artificial intelligence automates tasks and streamlines processes, but it doesn't possess emotion. That's where human emotional intelligence steps in. Empathy, understanding, and interpersonal relationships are crucial in holding workplace teams together. In the AI-driven workplace, these human elements become even more vital. Leaders must use these skills to create trust and a psychologically safe environment for their teams.
To move forward, organizations should integrate emotional intelligence into their AI initiatives. AI can gather insights from data, but it can't understand the emotional state of the workforce. This is where human managers excel. They can translate data into effective people management strategies. Employees who feel understood and valued flourish in their roles, increasing productivity. Therefore, organizations need both AI for data processing and EI for workforce retention. This creates a harmonious environment where technology enhances human potential.

The State AI Readiness Index uses four pillars to measure states' readiness to integrate AI into their public services: government, AI workforce, data, and ...
|
As discussed in our previous blog entry on our development of a State AI Readiness Index, artificial intelligence is transforming industries, economies, and governments around the globe. However, despite its increasing influence, the readiness for AI adoption in governance differs significantly across individual U.S. states.
The State AI Readiness Index uses four pillars to measure states’ readiness to integrate AI into their public services: government, AI workforce, data, and infrastructure. These pillars will enable state policymakers, technology leaders, and other stakeholders to move toward integrating AI in ways that benefit residents of their states. The government pillar considers whether a state has policies to guide AI use responsibly, ensuring that AI applications align with public welfare. In addition, high-quality, unbiased data is essential for training AI systems that serve the public equitably.
The AI State Preparedness index will serve as a cornerstone for building safe, secure, and trustworthy AI governance frameworks—particularly at the state level—ensuring that technological advancements benefit society while mitigating potential risks. Further, it is closely connected to AI governance efforts in different states.[1]
Preliminary Findings
We have begun to see results from our initial analysis of the State AI Readiness Index, and they show significant variations across U.S. states in terms of preparation for AI integration and governance. Although we have experienced some challenges in developing the tool, we can now begin to understand these differences in AI readiness by evaluating the four key pillars based on the available data and gain a better of understanding of the state of AI readiness across the country. The following represent some of our initial conclusions:
Clear Disparities in AI Readiness Between States
Based on our analysis of the available data, we categorized the 50 U.S. states into high, medium, and low readiness groups. We estimate that approximately 10 states fall within the high-readiness category, such as California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, which have a comprehensive AI vision, well-funded AI research hubs, and strong private sectors driving innovation. California, for example, benefits from Silicon Valley’s AI ecosystem, while Massachusetts has world-leading AI research institutions like MIT and Harvard. Approximately 30 states fall within medium AI readiness, including Texas, Illinois, and North Carolina. They have made notable progress in certain areas, such as private-sector AI adoption and university-led research, but still lack fully developed, statewide AI governance strategies. Low-readiness states like West Virginia, New Mexico, and South Carolina have minimal AI-specific policies, limited AI workforce initiatives, and little formal coordination between state agencies and research institutions.
State Governments Are at Significantly Different Stages of AI Integration
While some states have fully developed universal AI strategies, others rely on ad hoc legislation or individual agency initiatives. California, Massachusetts, and Illinois, for example, have detailed AI policy frameworks, clearly outlining goals for AI adoption in public services, ethical AI use, and AI-driven workforce development. Texas and North Carolina have passed AI-related legislation but lack a centralized AI strategy to guide broader AI integration efforts. West Virginia and South Carolina have little to no dedicated AI policy beyond general data privacy or cybersecurity regulations.
This uneven landscape underscores the importance of cohesive, statewide strategies. States with integrated frameworks are better positioned to align efforts across agencies, attract AI-related investment, and safeguard public trust through consistent, ethical deployment.
Private Sector and Academia Drive AI Innovation in Many States
In areas where state governments have not fully embraced AI readiness, universities and private companies are filling the gaps. For example, in New York, institutions like NYU’s Center for Responsible AI and Cornell Tech are actively shaping AI policy discourse and ethical frameworks. In Massachusetts, MIT plays a central role in driving AI research and providing expertise to the state’s AI task forces and working groups. Meanwhile, California’s robust AI ecosystem is supported by partnerships between institutions like Stanford University and UC Berkeley, and corporate hubs in Silicon Valley such as Google, OpenAI, and Salesforce, which often influence national AI policy conversations.
In states like Texas and Illinois, strong private sector involvement in AI—particularly in cities like Austin, a growing tech hub, and Chicago, home to several AI startups and Fortune 500 companies—has spurred some innovation, but these efforts are not yet matched by comprehensive state-led AI strategies. In contrast, states like New Mexico and West Virginia, with smaller tech ecosystems and fewer major research universities or corporate tech players, tend to lack both public and private infrastructure for AI governance.
This pattern highlights a broader trend: states with larger and more mature tech ecosystems are more likely to build the cross-sector networks needed to support AI readiness and governance. Recognizing and fostering these ecosystems is key to AI development across the U.S.
AI Workforce Gaps Pose Challenges
Access to broadband, cloud computing infrastructure, and AI education programs remains highly uneven across states. California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts have strong AI workforce pipelines, with universities offering AI degrees and training programs for government employees. Texas and Illinois have growing AI workforces, but state-funded AI training remains limited. West Virginia and New Mexico struggle with a lack of AI education programs, limited internet access in rural areas, and minimal investment in AI research facilities.
Presenting at the AAAS Conference
The project hit a significant milestone in February when one of the researchers, graduate student Ojobo Agbo Eje, presented the research at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) National Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. The experience provided an opportunity to share the project idea, plan, and impact with researchers and stakeholders and was also a platform to receive important feedback.
This invitation to present at the AAAS represented a key moment for the project. The poster and presentation—made possible in large part by a grant from the New Jersey State Policy Lab—provided a broad overview of the State AI Readiness Index, outlining the methodology and emphasizing preliminary findings. During the presentation, discussion included the methodology used to assess AI readiness, variations in readiness across high, medium, and low-ranked states, and potential applications of the AI Readiness Index for state governments, policymakers, and researchers.
Attendees—including policymakers, researchers, and industry professionals—asked several thought-provoking questions during the presentation, including:
What methods were used to normalize and weigh the different metrics for the four pillars?
What role does private-sector AI investment play in a state’s overall readiness?
Are there other research works or publications that can validate the possible effectiveness of this work?
Beyond policymakers, which other groups could benefit from this novel idea?
These questions, along with the interest shown by meeting attendees, reinforced the need for state-level AI strategies and provided inspiration for refining our methodology.
Ongoing Project Challenges
As we continue with the projects next steps, three key challenges have emerged and continue to be relevant:
Inaccessibility of State Data: One significant challenge has been inconsistent and incomplete data compilation processes across states. While some states publish clear strategic visions for AI adoption within their states, others have only ad hoc collections of executive orders or legislative bills. Still others have little to no official documentation whatsoever. Additionally, measuring AI workforce development is difficult due to a lack of state-specific employment and education data related to AI. This—and other, more detailed information—is not readily available on most state websites, making it difficult to assess how well a state prepares its workforce for AI-driven industries. Variability in AI Readiness: Not all states approach AI with the same level of urgency. High-readiness states like California and Massachusetts have comprehensive AI strategies, strong research ecosystems, and substantial private-sector investment. Meanwhile, low-readiness states struggle with limited funding, a lack of AI policies, and minimal AI-focused education initiatives. Due to the significant gap between readiness levels among states, understanding how lower-ranked states can catch up is more crucial to this project than we may have initially understood. Engaging with Stakeholders: Accessing state policymakers, AI task forces and government agencies has been challenging. While some states have proactively shared relevant data online with clearly stated avenues for contacting officials, others do not have a clear-cut process for connecting with officials who can assist with this project.
Next Steps for the State AI Readiness Index Project
Regardless of these challenges, we are looking ahead and focusing on several key areas to continue to enhance this project:
Refining the AI Readiness Index Methodology: To facilitate the production and publication of a minimum viable outcome, we improved the methods to focus on AI readiness in a few states (including states with high, medium, and low readiness). This will create a template with which we can expand to other states when and where data is inaccessible. We are also reviewing our weighting and scoring methodology to ensure a more accurate reflection of AI readiness. These adjustments include adjusting indicators within each pillar. Expanding Research and Data Sources: To enhance our findings, we are seeking new data sources from AI-focused legislation and policy reports, AI adoption trends in state governments, and meetings with professionals and researchers working on similar projects nationwide. Expanding our stakeholder relationships will give us broader access to state-level data and provide more actionable insights.
As we continue refining the index and expanding our research, we welcome and seek collaboration with policymakers, researchers, and industry experts interested in shaping AI’s future at the state level. Understanding this quickly growing consequential field is as imperative as it is challenging, and we invite you to share your insights, data, or feedback on AI adoption in your state. For those interested in learning more or providing feedback, you are welcome to reach out to [email protected], and we will gladly connect you with the researchers on this project.

Unleash the power of AI scheduling algorithms to cut labor costs by 15%, boost employee satisfaction, and balance complex workforce demands while learning ...
|
Machine learning scheduling algorithms are revolutionizing how businesses manage their workforce, bringing unprecedented efficiency and intelligence to employee scheduling operations. These advanced AI systems analyze vast amounts of historical data, employee preferences, business patterns, and operational constraints to generate optimized schedules that would take humans hours or even days to create manually. Unlike traditional scheduling methods that rely on fixed rules and manager intuition, machine learning approaches continuously learn and adapt, becoming more effective over time as they process more data and recognize evolving patterns in your business operations.
For organizations struggling with complex scheduling environments, high labor costs, or employee satisfaction challenges, AI-powered scheduling represents a transformative solution. These intelligent systems can simultaneously balance multiple competing priorities—from labor cost optimization and business demand forecasting to employee preference accommodation and compliance with labor regulations. The result is a scheduling ecosystem that not only improves operational efficiency but also enhances employee satisfaction through more predictable and preference-aligned schedules, ultimately driving better customer experiences and business outcomes.
Understanding Machine Learning in Workforce Scheduling
Machine learning algorithms fundamentally differ from traditional scheduling systems by their ability to identify patterns, make predictions, and improve over time without explicit programming. In workforce scheduling applications, these algorithms ingest and process multiple data streams to create increasingly accurate forecasts and recommendations. AI and machine learning technologies are particularly valuable in environments with variable demand, diverse employee skills, and complex regulatory requirements.
Predictive Analytics Capabilities : ML algorithms analyze historical data to forecast customer demand, allowing businesses to staff appropriately for every shift without overstaffing.

: Advanced algorithms simultaneously balance dozens of constraints, from employee availability to skill requirements and labor budgets. Anomaly Detection: Systems can identify unusual patterns that might indicate scheduling problems or opportunities for improvement.
These capabilities enable businesses to move beyond reactive scheduling approaches to more strategic workforce management. While traditional employee scheduling software might simply fill slots based on availability, ML-powered systems intelligently assign the right employees to the right shifts at the right times, optimizing for both business performance and employee satisfaction.
Core Algorithms Powering AI Scheduling Systems
Several machine learning algorithm types form the backbone of modern workforce scheduling systems, each bringing specific capabilities to address different aspects of the scheduling challenge. Understanding these algorithms helps business leaders choose solutions that best match their operational requirements. Companies like Shyft implement multiple algorithmic approaches to create robust scheduling solutions.
Regression Algorithms : Predict numerical values like customer traffic or service demand for specific time periods, enabling precise staffing levels.

Genetic Algorithms : Mimic evolutionary processes to generate multiple schedule variations and select the fittest solutions based on defined criteria.
: Mimic evolutionary processes to generate multiple schedule variations and select the fittest solutions based on defined criteria. Neural Networks: Process complex patterns in historical scheduling data to make sophisticated predictions about future staffing needs.
These algorithms work together in modern AI scheduling systems, creating hybrid approaches that address the multifaceted nature of workforce scheduling. The most effective solutions combine prediction (what will happen) with prescription (what should be done), delivering actionable scheduling insights rather than just data points.
Business Benefits of Machine Learning Scheduling
The implementation of machine learning scheduling solutions delivers substantial, measurable benefits across multiple business dimensions. Organizations across industries—from retail and hospitality to healthcare and supply chain—are reporting significant returns on their AI scheduling investments.
Labor Cost Optimization : ML algorithms typically reduce labor costs by 5-15% through precise matching of staffing levels to business demand, minimizing costly overstaffing.

Enhanced Compliance : AI systems automatically enforce labor regulations, union rules, and internal policies, dramatically reducing compliance violations and associated risks.
: AI systems automatically enforce labor regulations, union rules, and internal policies, dramatically reducing compliance violations and associated risks. Lower Employee Turnover: Organizations implementing ML scheduling typically see 10-20% reductions in turnover as employee satisfaction improves with more predictable and preference-aligned schedules.
These benefits compound over time as algorithms learn and improve, creating a virtuous cycle of optimization. Organizations investing in AI scheduling assistants often report payback periods of less than 12 months, with ongoing returns in the form of both hard cost savings and soft benefits like improved employee experience and customer service.
Employee Experience and AI Scheduling
While business efficiency drives many AI scheduling implementations, the employee experience impact can be equally transformative. Machine learning algorithms excel at balancing business needs with worker preferences, creating schedules that respect the human side of workforce management. When implemented thoughtfully, AI scheduling becomes a powerful tool for enhancing engagement and retention through the shift marketplace and other flexible work arrangements.
Preference Accommodation : ML systems can process complex preference data at scale, balancing individual requests against business needs more effectively than manual scheduling.

Empowerment Through Flexibility: Self-service scheduling features powered by ML allow employees more control over their work lives while ensuring business needs are met.
Organizations embracing work-life balance initiatives find that AI scheduling is a powerful enabler, helping balance employee autonomy with operational requirements. The key is implementing these systems transparently and collaboratively, ensuring employees understand how the algorithm works and providing appropriate channels for feedback and adjustment.
Implementation Challenges and Solutions
Despite their benefits, machine learning scheduling implementations face several common challenges that organizations must navigate successfully. Recognizing and addressing these challenges proactively increases the likelihood of a successful deployment. Advanced features and tools can help overcome many of these hurdles when properly applied.

Successful implementations typically involve a phased approach, starting with specific departments or locations before broader rollout. Organizations should also invest in proper training programs and workshops to ensure managers understand how to work with, rather than against, the AI scheduling system. Many companies find that team communication tools integrated with scheduling solutions help smooth the transition by facilitating feedback and adjustments.
Data Requirements for Effective ML Scheduling
The performance of machine learning scheduling algorithms is directly proportional to the quality and quantity of data they can access. Organizations implementing these systems need to understand the critical data inputs required and ensure they have mechanisms to collect, clean, and integrate this information. Reporting and analytics capabilities become essential for both feeding the algorithms and measuring their performance.
Historical Schedule Data : Previous schedules provide baseline patterns and reveal how staffing has historically been allocated across time periods.

: Weather data, local events, marketing promotions, and seasonal factors that influence staffing requirements. Compliance Parameters: Labor laws, union agreements, and internal policies that constrain scheduling decisions must be encoded for the algorithm.
Organizations should conduct a data readiness assessment before implementing AI scheduling, identifying gaps in their current data collection and developing strategies to address them. Many successful implementations begin with data-driven HR approaches that ensure the right information is flowing into the system. Modern platforms like Shyft include data collection mechanisms to help businesses gradually build the necessary information repository even if they’re starting with limited historical data.
Integration with Existing Systems
Machine learning scheduling solutions don’t operate in isolation—they must seamlessly connect with an organization’s existing technology ecosystem. Successful integration enables data flow between systems, creates unified workflows, and maximizes the value of AI scheduling investments. Benefits of integrated systems include reduced administrative overhead, improved data consistency, and enhanced employee experiences.
HRIS Integration : Connecting with HR systems ensures employee data—like new hires, terminations, and role changes—is automatically reflected in scheduling.

Modern ML scheduling platforms like Shyft offer extensive integration capabilities through APIs and pre-built connectors to common business systems. When evaluating solutions, organizations should carefully assess integration requirements and capabilities, prioritizing platforms that support their specific technology ecosystem. Integration technologies continue to evolve, making it increasingly feasible to create a unified workforce management environment even in complex organizational settings.
Measuring ROI and Performance
Implementing machine learning scheduling represents a significant investment, making it essential to establish clear metrics for measuring return on investment and overall system performance. A comprehensive measurement framework helps organizations track both direct financial benefits and indirect impacts on operations and culture. Performance metrics for shift management should be established before implementation to enable before-and-after comparisons.
Financial Metrics : Track labor cost as a percentage of revenue, overtime hours, and total scheduling administration costs to quantify hard savings.
: Track labor cost as a percentage of revenue, overtime hours, and total scheduling administration costs to quantify hard savings. Operational Indicators : Measure schedule accuracy (actual vs. forecasted needs), manager time spent on scheduling, and frequency of last-minute adjustments.

: Track preference accommodation rates, schedule stability metrics, and employee satisfaction scores related to scheduling. Algorithm Performance: Assess forecast accuracy, optimization effectiveness, and learning rate to ensure the system is improving over time.
Organizations should develop a balanced scorecard approach that looks beyond simple cost savings to capture the full spectrum of benefits. Tracking metrics consistently over time provides insights into the evolving impact of ML scheduling and helps identify opportunities for further optimization. Leading companies conduct quarterly reviews of these metrics and use the insights to fine-tune both their algorithms and their implementation approach.
Future Trends in AI Workforce Scheduling
Machine learning scheduling technology continues to evolve rapidly, with several emerging trends poised to shape the next generation of workforce management solutions. Organizations should monitor these developments to ensure their scheduling capabilities remain competitive. Trends in scheduling software point to increasingly sophisticated applications of AI across all aspects of workforce management.
Hyper-Personalization : Next-generation algorithms will create increasingly individualized schedules based on deep understanding of each employee’s preferences, chronobiology, and performance patterns.

As these technologies mature, the distinction between scheduling and broader workforce management will continue to blur. Organizations should approach their ML scheduling implementations with long-term scalability in mind, selecting platforms that can evolve with emerging capabilities. Addressing AI bias in scheduling algorithms will also become increasingly important as these systems take on more decision-making responsibility.
Best Practices for Successful Implementation
Organizations that successfully implement machine learning scheduling follow several common best practices that maximize benefits while minimizing disruption. These approaches help navigate the technical, operational, and cultural challenges that accompany the adoption of AI-powered workforce management. Implementation and training deserve special attention, as they significantly impact adoption rates and time-to-value.
Start With Clear Objectives : Define specific, measurable goals for your ML scheduling implementation, prioritizing the business problems you most need to solve.

Organizations should also consider forming a cross-functional implementation team that includes representatives from operations, HR, IT, and finance to ensure all perspectives are considered. Evaluating software performance throughout the implementation process allows for continuous improvement and helps identify necessary adjustments before small issues become significant problems.
Machine learning scheduling represents a transformative opportunity for organizations to simultaneously improve operational efficiency, employee experience, and compliance. By thoughtfully implementing these advanced algorithms, businesses can create scheduling processes that are both more humane and more effective. The key lies in approaching AI scheduling not merely as a cost-saving technology but as a strategic tool for workforce optimization. Organizations that successfully navigate the implementation challenges will find themselves with a significant competitive advantage in attracting, retaining, and effectively deploying talent. As machine learning capabilities continue to evolve, the gap between organizations using advanced scheduling algorithms and those relying on traditional methods will only widen, making this an essential investment for forward-thinking businesses across industries.
To maximize success, organizations should partner with experienced providers like Shyft that offer both technological sophistication and implementation expertise. By combining powerful algorithms with thoughtful change management and ongoing optimization, businesses can create scheduling environments that truly deliver on the promise of artificial intelligence: augmenting human capabilities to create outcomes that would be impossible through either technology or human effort alone.
FAQ
1. How do machine learning scheduling algorithms differ from traditional scheduling methods?
Machine learning scheduling algorithms differ from traditional methods by continuously learning from data rather than following fixed rules. Traditional scheduling typically relies on manager experience and static rules that don’t adapt automatically. ML algorithms analyze patterns in historical data, employee performance, customer demand, and numerous other variables to make increasingly accurate predictions and recommendations over time. They can simultaneously optimize for multiple objectives (labor cost, employee preferences, service levels) while adjusting to changing conditions without manual intervention. This enables more sophisticated, responsive, and efficient scheduling than possible with conventional approaches.
2. What data is required to implement AI-powered scheduling effectively?
Effective AI-powered scheduling requires several data categories: historical schedule information (at least 6-12 months), business volume metrics (sales, customer traffic, production units), employee data (skills, certifications, performance, preferences, availability), external variables (weather, events, promotions), and compliance requirements (labor laws, union rules, internal policies). The quality and completeness of this data directly impacts algorithm performance. Organizations with limited historical data can still implement AI scheduling but should expect a longer learning period as the system gathers sufficient information to optimize effectively. Modern scheduling platforms often include tools to help organizations collect and structure the necessary data progressively.
3. How long does it take to see results from AI scheduling implementation?
Results from AI scheduling implementation typically emerge in phases. Initial benefits like reduced administrative time spent on scheduling appear almost immediately, often within the first month. Operational improvements such as better matching of staffing to demand usually manifest within 2-3 months as the system learns patterns specific to your business. More sophisticated benefits like improved employee satisfaction, reduced turnover, and optimized labor cost typically take 4-6 months to fully materialize. The timeline can vary based on data quality, implementation approach, and organizational readiness. Organizations should establish measurement frameworks before implementation to track progress and adjust as needed.
4. Are AI scheduling systems suitable for small businesses?
Yes, AI scheduling systems can be suitable for small businesses, though considerations differ from large enterprise implementations. Modern cloud-based solutions offer scalable pricing and simplified implementations that make advanced scheduling algorithms accessible to smaller organizations. Small businesses often see faster adoption due to less complex approval hierarchies and simpler integration requirements. The ROI calculation should focus on both direct cost savings and the value of freeing up owner/manager time from administrative scheduling tasks. Small businesses should look for solutions with appropriate scale, minimal IT overhead, and straightforward implementation processes designed for organizations with limited specialized resources.
5. How can businesses ensure employee acceptance of AI scheduling systems?
Ensuring employee acceptance of AI scheduling systems requires a deliberate change management approach. Start with transparent communication about why the system is being implemented and how it benefits employees. Involve employee representatives in the selection and implementation process to build ownership. Provide comprehensive training focused on how employees can interact with the system to express preferences and manage their schedules. Establish clear processes for addressing concerns and requesting adjustments when the algorithm produces suboptimal results. Most importantly, balance algorithmic recommendations with human oversight, especially in the early stages, to maintain trust. Organizations that position AI scheduling as an employee benefit rather than merely a cost-cutting measure typically see much higher acceptance rates.

"Unauthorized Ai Use Is Rising Fast"

More employees are using AI tools at work, sometimes without authorization, reflecting shifts in how tasks are accomplished and workplace productivity is ...
|
Artificial Intelligence might be your coworker’s secret weapon and you’d never know it. A growing number of Americans are using AI at work, but many are keeping it a secret from their bosses.
Ivanti, an IT software company, published its 2025 Technology at Work report, examining trends around workplace productivity, return-to-office pressure, and AI usage.
Unauthorized AI use is rising fast
According to Ivanti, the use of generative AI has skyrocketed in the last year. Forty-two percent of office workers report using AI tools, such as ChatGPT, during work hours. The report also found 38% admit to using unauthorized AI tools.
Notably, 1 in 3 workers hide their AI use from their employers.
When asked why, 36% said they enjoy the “secret advantage” AI gives them. Another 30% fear they could lose their jobs if caught. Meanwhile, 27% simply don’t want their abilities questioned.
Leaders underestimate how much AI is being used
While nearly all employees reported some familiarity with generative AI, McKinsey’s January 2025 report found that many executives are unfamiliar with how often it’s actually being used. C-suite leaders estimated that just 4% of employees use AI for at least 30% of their daily work, but employee self-reports show that number is over three times higher.
Additionally, while only a small portion of leaders expected that employees would rely on AI to handle 30% or more of their tasks within the next year, employees are more than twice as likely to believe that shift is coming.
AI secrecy extends beyond the workplace
The lack of AI guidance isn’t just a corporate problem — schools and universities are also facing challenges. As students approach graduation and prepare to enter the workforce, many are already relying heavily on AI.
Experts warn that AI can boost productivity, but it could increase isolation.
J.T. Bushnell, a senior writing instructor at Oregon State University, said relying too heavily on AI removes valuable human interaction from the creative process. He emphasizes that while AI can help improve writing, people can gain similar benefits by collaborating with others, especially in educational or workplace settings.
“You can also get these same benefits from speaking to another human,” he told Straight Arrow News. “Like an improvement in the social aspect of your day.”

For Some Recent Graduates, the A.I. Job Apocalypse May Already Be Here

"Kevin Roose"

The unemployment rate for recent college graduates has jumped as companies try to replace entry-level workers with artificial intelligence.
|
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.’”

AI-Generated Content in Journalism: The Rise of Automated Reporting
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly reshaped the journalism landscape, bringing about major shifts in how news is produced and shared. Automated reporting tools, driven by natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), are becoming central to media organizations, enabling them to produce articles, summaries, and analyses with remarkable speed and efficiency. This shift is particularly noticeable in fields that rely heavily on data, such as financial news, sports reporting, and weather updates, where the ability to quickly process and present large amounts of information is crucial.
However, as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, several challenges and ethical issues emerge. Questions around the accuracy and potential biases of algorithm-driven journalism are rising, as the reliability of AI-generated news can sometimes be questioned. Additionally, the growing reliance on these technologies in newsrooms raises concerns about diminishing traditional journalistic values, such as integrity, diversity of viewpoints, and the critical thinking required for investigative reporting. As AI continues to advance, it is vital to strike a balance between leveraging its efficiency in content production and preserving the human elements that ensure quality journalism. This insight will explore these dynamics, examining the role of AI in modern journalism, the effectiveness of automated reporting tools, and the ethical challenges facing the industry as it adapts to these technological innovations.
The Role of AI in Transforming Journalism
How do automated reporting tools utilize NLP and ML?
Automated reporting tools are revolutionizing how data is analyzed and presented by leveraging the powerful combination of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). By utilizing NLP, these tools create narratives that make complex data insights more accessible and understandable, effectively bridging the gap between raw data and meaningful interpretation.[1] ML techniques are integral to this process, as they are employed to uncover trends and predict future outcomes, thereby providing a forward-looking perspective that is invaluable for strategic decision-making.[2] The combined use of ML and NLP allows these tools to not only glean insights from vast amounts of data but also visualize and display them in user-friendly reports.[3] This synergy ensures that AI report generators produce outputs that are both data-driven and tailored for user engagement, making the insights actionable and easier to comprehend.[4] Emphasizing the need for continued advancements, these tools highlight the importance of maintaining high data quality to ensure the effectiveness of AI-powered reporting.[5] The integration of these technologies represents a significant shift toward more dynamic, interactive, and insightful reporting, which is essential in meeting the evolving demands of data-driven industries.
In what areas of journalism is AI-driven reporting most effective?
AI-driven reporting excels particularly in areas where routine and data-heavy tasks are prevalent, such as financial reporting and sports journalism. The Associated Press’s adoption of AI to generate thousands of financial reports each quarter underscores the technology’s effectiveness in handling vast amounts of numerical data and producing consistent, timely content.[6] This capability is further exemplified by AI tools like Wordsmith, which are skilled at producing quick and accurate articles on sports results and earnings reports, thereby ensuring that these stories are not only up-to-date but also maintain a uniform tone and style in line with publication standards.[7] By automating these routine tasks, AI allows journalists to redirect their efforts towards more intricate and investigative stories, potentially enhancing the overall quality of journalism.[8] The strategic integration of AI in such domains not only boosts efficiency but also ensures that the reporting is comprehensive and aligned with audience expectations, paving the way for more personalized journalism.[9] As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial for news organizations to leverage these advancements to maintain a balance between automated efficiency and human creativity, ultimately enriching the journalistic landscape.
What are the potential benefits of using AI-generated content in news production?
The integration of AI-generated content into news production offers substantial benefits that extend beyond mere operational efficiency, significantly transforming the landscape of journalism. One of the key advantages is the ability of AI to enhance the diversity of content, allowing news organizations to cover a broader range of topics and perspectives than traditional methods might permit.[10] This diversification can lead to a richer and more inclusive news environment, which is essential in engaging a wider audience and addressing varied informational needs.[11] Furthermore, AI’s capacity to process and analyze large data sets quickly enables journalists to produce more informed and insightful reports, thus improving the depth and quality of journalism.[12] This analytical prowess not only aids in identifying important news angles that might be overlooked by human reporters but also ensures that the coverage is both comprehensive and nuanced.[13] Additionally, by automating repetitive tasks, AI allows journalists to devote more time and energy to complex investigative stories, enhancing the overall quality of the news produced.[14] The automation of such tasks not only streamlines the workflow but also reduces operational costs, making news production more economically viable.[15] As a result, AI not only enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of news production but also contributes to a more vibrant and dynamic media landscape. To fully realize these benefits, it is crucial for news organizations to integrate AI thoughtfully and responsibly, ensuring that it complements rather than replaces the critical role of human journalists in delivering credible and empathetic storytelling.[16]
Challenges and Ethical Concerns in AI-Driven Journalism
What are the main concerns regarding accuracy and bias in AI-generated content?
The primary concerns regarding the accuracy and bias in AI-generated content are intricately interwoven with the underlying mechanisms of AI systems and the data they utilize. A significant issue is confabulation, where AI systems generate content that includes false information presented as factual, leading to inaccuracies that can misinform users.[17] It can also include hallucinations when a model fabricates facts, quotes, or events that appear plausible but are not supported by any real sources or verified data. Such inaccuracies are exacerbated by the potential for AI tools to be limited by their datasets, which might not reflect the most current or comprehensive knowledge available, resulting in outdated or incomplete information.[18] Moreover, the biases embedded within AI-generated content often stem from the biased data used during the training phase of these systems, perpetuating existing stereotypes and leading to skewed or unfair representations.[19], [20] This combination of inaccuracy and bias poses a risk of misleading information influencing public opinion and decision-making processes, which can have far-reaching implications across various sectors.[21] Addressing these concerns requires a multi-faceted approach, including cross-checking AI-generated outputs against authoritative sources, such as expert publications, to verify accuracy and identify potential biases.[22] Moving forward, it is imperative to implement strategies that not only enhance the accuracy of AI-generated content but also mitigate inherent biases to foster trust and ensure ethical standards in content creation.[23]
How might over-reliance on AI impact journalistic integrity and diversity?
The reliance on AI in journalism, while offering efficiencies in data analysis and narrative construction, also presents significant challenges to journalistic integrity and diversity. One of the primary concerns is that AI’s capabilities might overshadow critical thinking and creativity, which are essential elements of quality journalism.[24] When journalists depend heavily on AI tools, their original reporting may suffer, as these technologies might not adequately capture the nuance and depth required for comprehensive news coverage.[25] Furthermore, AI models, often trained on data from predominantly large technology companies, might perpetuate homogenized content, lacking the diversity of human experiences and perspectives necessary for a rich media landscape.[26] This could result in a media environment where diverse voices are marginalized, and editorial judgment is weakened, ultimately compromising the integrity of journalism.[27] To counter these challenges, it is critical to ensure that AI is utilized as a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for human insight and oversight, thus safeguarding the diversity and richness of journalistic content.[28] Responsible and ethical integration of AI in journalism is necessary to maintain transparency, accountability, and diversity, ensuring that AI complements rather than compromises journalistic values.[29]
What balance should be maintained between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment?
The integration of AI in editorial processes highlights the need to strike a balance between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment, ensuring creativity and quality in content creation.[30] While AI excels in automating routine data-driven tasks, as evidenced by its use in generating financial reports, it is crucial to recognize the irreplaceable value of human intuition and creativity that AI systems cannot replicate.[31] Human editors play a vital role in infusing content with authenticity and ethical considerations, providing insights that go beyond the capabilities of AI.[32] This collaborative approach not only enhances content quality but also enables human editors to focus on high-level tasks such as strategy, creativity, and oversight, thereby maintaining the unique aspects of human insight in areas where AI falls short.[33] To achieve optimal results, organizations should prioritize developing strategies that leverage the strengths of both AI and human editorial judgment, ensuring that AI augments human abilities rather than rendering them obsolete.[34], [35] This balanced approach fosters a more human-centric and creative future for editorial work, maximizing productivity while preserving the essential human elements of the editorial process.[36], [37]
Conclusion
The findings of this insight illuminate the transformative potential of AI-generated content in journalism, particularly in enhancing efficiency and expanding the breadth of coverage within data-rich sectors such as financial and sports reporting. By harnessing natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), automated reporting tools are not only streamlining routine journalistic tasks but also democratizing access to complex data insights, ultimately fostering informed decision-making among audiences. However, this shift toward automation is not without its challenges. The emerging reliance on AI raises significant concerns regarding accuracy, bias, and the possible dilution of journalistic integrity. As these automated systems often reflect the biases embedded in their training datasets, there is an urgent need for news organizations to implement robust verification strategies to mitigate the risk of disseminating misleading information and perpetuating stereotypes. Furthermore, while AI can augment journalistic practices, it cannot replicate the nuanced understanding and ethical considerations that human journalists bring to the table. Thus, maintaining a balance between AI efficiency and human creativity is essential for preserving the diversity and integrity of news reporting. This insight underscores the necessity for ongoing dialogue and research into the ethical implications of AI in journalism, advocating for frameworks that prioritize human oversight and editorial judgment. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of AI on audience engagement, the evolution of journalistic roles, and the mechanisms by which AI can be ethically integrated into newsrooms. By recognizing and addressing these complexities, the media industry can harness the advantages of AI-generated content while ensuring that the core values of journalism which are accuracy, fairness, and inclusivity, remain at the forefront of the evolving landscape.

83 million jobs globally will be eliminated by 2027, while 69 million new roles will emerge, for a net loss of 14 million jobs.
|
For all the excitement surrounding artificial intelligence—be it the streamlining, the scaling, the automation of everything from expense reports to entire supply chains—there’s a harsher truth that too many companies are sidestepping. AI is eliminating jobs. Not theoretically. Not someday. Now.
The euphemisms such as “reallocation,” “upskilling” and “workforce optimization” have served us well in softening headlines about job losses to AI. But as someone embedded in the HR ecosystem, speaking with executives, employees and AI providers daily, I’m here to tell you that displacement is not a side effect. For many AI initiatives, it’s the point.
Job losses to AI: the numbers behind the narrative
Let’s start with what we know.
The World Economic Forum’s most recent Future of Jobs report forecasts that 83 million jobs globally will be eliminated by 2027, while 69 million new roles will emerge, for a net loss of 14 million jobs. McKinsey projects that by 2030, up to 30% of hours worked across the U.S. economy could be automated. And in its latest report, Goldman Sachs estimated AI could expose 300 million full-time jobs globally to automation.
In a recent interview, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei openly expressed concerns that AI could eliminate half of all white-collar entry-level jobs within the next one to five years, causing unemployment to spike between 10%-20%. Insofar as worker awareness, the maker of Claude shared that, “Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen.” Amodei added, “We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming,”
To be clear, these aren’t jobs lost to offshoring or economic downturn. These are roles rendered obsolete by the generative AI, machine learning and intelligent automation tooling that can now outperform humans in speed, accuracy and scalability, often for pennies on the dollar.
Finance teams are replacing analysts with AI forecasting tools. Marketing departments are shrinking as content engines generate campaigns in seconds. Customer support tiers are being collapsed into large language models that don’t sleep, unionize or request PTO.
This is not science fiction. Job losses to AI are happening in the C-suites and shared services hubs of nearly every large enterprise. Quietly. Strategically. And for many, at the expense of the values and missions we espouse every day.
The false promise of reskilling
One of the most persistent refrains I hear from the industry at large is, “We’re not eliminating jobs; we’re reskilling our people.” While well-intentioned, this is often more slogan than strategy.
Yes, reskilling is a critical investment, but it is not a panacea. Transforming a payroll administrator into an AI prompt engineer isn’t just a matter of will. It requires aptitude, infrastructure, intentionality and the sustained support that many organizations simply don’t provide.
Reskilling also presumes that displaced employees want to stay in the same company or function. Many don’t, and others are demoralized by being asked to do more with less, all under the shadow of systems that quietly replaced their colleagues.
What’s more, the velocity of change driven by AI is outpacing the speed at which organizations can realistically retrain their workforce. There is a fundamental mismatch between the disruption and our response to it.
The HR paradox: architects and casualties
Ironically, HR itself is both a steward and a casualty of this shift.
On one hand, HR leaders are being asked to champion AI adoption across talent acquisition, learning, performance management, workforce planning and virtually every other facet of the hire-to-retire workflow. AI-enabled systems now screen resumes, analyze engagement and even recommend terminations based on productivity data.
On the other hand, HR functions are being downsized as these very systems automate and consolidate core processes. The same transformation leaders who helped select an AI provider may find their roles made redundant by its success.
This duality is deeply uncomfortable, and it requires a reckoning. If HR is to be the conscience of the enterprise, we cannot remain silent about the structural implications of our own enablement and innovations.

Winners, losers and the great cultural divide
The companies that win in this new landscape will be those that navigate the human implications of AI with transparency and foresight. Unfortunately, we’re already seeing a widening divide.
Some organizations are handling the transition with integrity by openly acknowledging job impacts, offering generous severance and investing meaningfully in career transition services. Others are treating AI as a stealth downsizing strategy, using it to quietly eliminate layers of labor without a hint of disclosure or discussion.
We must ask ourselves, what is the cost of that opacity? When trust erodes, culture suffers. And when culture suffers, so does innovation. You cannot simply automate your way out of a broken relationship with your workforce.
We must also acknowledge that there is a growing social disparity in who is impacted. Roles most susceptible to automation, such as administrative, operational and clerical, are disproportionately held by underrepresented and economically vulnerable populations. If AI deployment isn’t accompanied by inclusive workforce planning, we risk deepening existing inequities under the guise of technological progress.
A new HR mandate
So, what do we do?
As HR leaders, we must move from reactive to proactive. That starts with facing the data and doing so honestly. Don’t just ask what tasks can be automated, ask whose work is being displaced. Conduct impact assessments before deploying AI, not after. Ensure that an Office of Responsible AI exists and that employee representatives, and legal and ethics teams are at the table from the start.
We must also reframe workforce planning to include role transition planning that is explicitly associated with intelligent automation. Just as we intentionally plan for emerging roles, we must develop strategies for roles that are being phased out as new technological capabilities emerge. This means preparing people early through transparent communication, internal mobility programs, retraining where possible and, yes, letting some roles go with dignity rather than delay.
Further, we must rethink our employer value proposition. If stability is no longer promised, then growth, clarity and trust must take its place. Employees aren’t expecting a job for life, but they are expecting honesty about what lies ahead.
A humane automation strategy
To be clear, I am not anti-AI. I am a realist.
AI will and should play a transformative role in how we work. But the goal cannot be efficiency at all costs. We must aim for humane automation that deliberates the uses of AI that enhance rather than erase human contribution.
That means thinking in processes, not just tools. It means evaluating AI through the lens of the workforce experience, not just operational ROI. And it means holding ourselves accountable for the near- and long-term consequences of convenience and efficiency.
As HR professionals, we are stewards of change, but we are also stewards of people. If we fail to reconcile the two in the age of AI, we risk becoming the authors of a future that works for no one.
The outlook for HR’s role in navigating job losses to AI
This isn’t a cautionary tale, it’s a challenge. AI is already transforming the workforce. Our job isn’t to resist it, but instead to ensure it’s done right, reflects our values and honors the people who built the systems now being replaced.
Let’s remember that HR has always been at its best when it leads with both courage and compassion. In this moment of accelerated AI adoption, we have an extraordinary opportunity to not just manage change, but to humanize it. By advocating for transparency, investing in people and designing AI strategies that reflect our shared values, we can help shape a future of work that’s not only more intelligent, but more inclusive, adaptive and humane.
This isn’t just about preserving jobs. It’s about elevating people, and no one is better positioned to lead that charge than HR.

AI-Generated Content in Journalism: The Rise of Automated Reporting
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly reshaped the journalism landscape, bringing about major shifts in how news is produced and shared. Automated reporting tools, driven by natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), are becoming central to media organizations, enabling them to produce articles, summaries, and analyses with remarkable speed and efficiency. This shift is particularly noticeable in fields that rely heavily on data, such as financial news, sports reporting, and weather updates, where the ability to quickly process and present large amounts of information is crucial.
However, as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, several challenges and ethical issues emerge. Questions around the accuracy and potential biases of algorithm-driven journalism are rising, as the reliability of AI-generated news can sometimes be questioned. Additionally, the growing reliance on these technologies in newsrooms raises concerns about diminishing traditional journalistic values, such as integrity, diversity of viewpoints, and the critical thinking required for investigative reporting. As AI continues to advance, it is vital to strike a balance between leveraging its efficiency in content production and preserving the human elements that ensure quality journalism. This insight will explore these dynamics, examining the role of AI in modern journalism, the effectiveness of automated reporting tools, and the ethical challenges facing the industry as it adapts to these technological innovations.
The Role of AI in Transforming Journalism
How do automated reporting tools utilize NLP and ML?
Automated reporting tools are revolutionizing how data is analyzed and presented by leveraging the powerful combination of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). By utilizing NLP, these tools create narratives that make complex data insights more accessible and understandable, effectively bridging the gap between raw data and meaningful interpretation.[1] ML techniques are integral to this process, as they are employed to uncover trends and predict future outcomes, thereby providing a forward-looking perspective that is invaluable for strategic decision-making.[2] The combined use of ML and NLP allows these tools to not only glean insights from vast amounts of data but also visualize and display them in user-friendly reports.[3] This synergy ensures that AI report generators produce outputs that are both data-driven and tailored for user engagement, making the insights actionable and easier to comprehend.[4] Emphasizing the need for continued advancements, these tools highlight the importance of maintaining high data quality to ensure the effectiveness of AI-powered reporting.[5] The integration of these technologies represents a significant shift toward more dynamic, interactive, and insightful reporting, which is essential in meeting the evolving demands of data-driven industries.
In what areas of journalism is AI-driven reporting most effective?
AI-driven reporting excels particularly in areas where routine and data-heavy tasks are prevalent, such as financial reporting and sports journalism. The Associated Press’s adoption of AI to generate thousands of financial reports each quarter underscores the technology’s effectiveness in handling vast amounts of numerical data and producing consistent, timely content.[6] This capability is further exemplified by AI tools like Wordsmith, which are skilled at producing quick and accurate articles on sports results and earnings reports, thereby ensuring that these stories are not only up-to-date but also maintain a uniform tone and style in line with publication standards.[7] By automating these routine tasks, AI allows journalists to redirect their efforts towards more intricate and investigative stories, potentially enhancing the overall quality of journalism.[8] The strategic integration of AI in such domains not only boosts efficiency but also ensures that the reporting is comprehensive and aligned with audience expectations, paving the way for more personalized journalism.[9] As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial for news organizations to leverage these advancements to maintain a balance between automated efficiency and human creativity, ultimately enriching the journalistic landscape.
What are the potential benefits of using AI-generated content in news production?
The integration of AI-generated content into news production offers substantial benefits that extend beyond mere operational efficiency, significantly transforming the landscape of journalism. One of the key advantages is the ability of AI to enhance the diversity of content, allowing news organizations to cover a broader range of topics and perspectives than traditional methods might permit.[10] This diversification can lead to a richer and more inclusive news environment, which is essential in engaging a wider audience and addressing varied informational needs.[11] Furthermore, AI’s capacity to process and analyze large data sets quickly enables journalists to produce more informed and insightful reports, thus improving the depth and quality of journalism.[12] This analytical prowess not only aids in identifying important news angles that might be overlooked by human reporters but also ensures that the coverage is both comprehensive and nuanced.[13] Additionally, by automating repetitive tasks, AI allows journalists to devote more time and energy to complex investigative stories, enhancing the overall quality of the news produced.[14] The automation of such tasks not only streamlines the workflow but also reduces operational costs, making news production more economically viable.[15] As a result, AI not only enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of news production but also contributes to a more vibrant and dynamic media landscape. To fully realize these benefits, it is crucial for news organizations to integrate AI thoughtfully and responsibly, ensuring that it complements rather than replaces the critical role of human journalists in delivering credible and empathetic storytelling.[16]
Challenges and Ethical Concerns in AI-Driven Journalism
What are the main concerns regarding accuracy and bias in AI-generated content?
The primary concerns regarding the accuracy and bias in AI-generated content are intricately interwoven with the underlying mechanisms of AI systems and the data they utilize. A significant issue is confabulation, where AI systems generate content that includes false information presented as factual, leading to inaccuracies that can misinform users.[17] It can also include hallucinations when a model fabricates facts, quotes, or events that appear plausible but are not supported by any real sources or verified data. Such inaccuracies are exacerbated by the potential for AI tools to be limited by their datasets, which might not reflect the most current or comprehensive knowledge available, resulting in outdated or incomplete information.[18] Moreover, the biases embedded within AI-generated content often stem from the biased data used during the training phase of these systems, perpetuating existing stereotypes and leading to skewed or unfair representations.[19], [20] This combination of inaccuracy and bias poses a risk of misleading information influencing public opinion and decision-making processes, which can have far-reaching implications across various sectors.[21] Addressing these concerns requires a multi-faceted approach, including cross-checking AI-generated outputs against authoritative sources, such as expert publications, to verify accuracy and identify potential biases.[22] Moving forward, it is imperative to implement strategies that not only enhance the accuracy of AI-generated content but also mitigate inherent biases to foster trust and ensure ethical standards in content creation.[23]
How might over-reliance on AI impact journalistic integrity and diversity?
The reliance on AI in journalism, while offering efficiencies in data analysis and narrative construction, also presents significant challenges to journalistic integrity and diversity. One of the primary concerns is that AI’s capabilities might overshadow critical thinking and creativity, which are essential elements of quality journalism.[24] When journalists depend heavily on AI tools, their original reporting may suffer, as these technologies might not adequately capture the nuance and depth required for comprehensive news coverage.[25] Furthermore, AI models, often trained on data from predominantly large technology companies, might perpetuate homogenized content, lacking the diversity of human experiences and perspectives necessary for a rich media landscape.[26] This could result in a media environment where diverse voices are marginalized, and editorial judgment is weakened, ultimately compromising the integrity of journalism.[27] To counter these challenges, it is critical to ensure that AI is utilized as a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for human insight and oversight, thus safeguarding the diversity and richness of journalistic content.[28] Responsible and ethical integration of AI in journalism is necessary to maintain transparency, accountability, and diversity, ensuring that AI complements rather than compromises journalistic values.[29]
What balance should be maintained between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment?
The integration of AI in editorial processes highlights the need to strike a balance between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment, ensuring creativity and quality in content creation.[30] While AI excels in automating routine data-driven tasks, as evidenced by its use in generating financial reports, it is crucial to recognize the irreplaceable value of human intuition and creativity that AI systems cannot replicate.[31] Human editors play a vital role in infusing content with authenticity and ethical considerations, providing insights that go beyond the capabilities of AI.[32] This collaborative approach not only enhances content quality but also enables human editors to focus on high-level tasks such as strategy, creativity, and oversight, thereby maintaining the unique aspects of human insight in areas where AI falls short.[33] To achieve optimal results, organizations should prioritize developing strategies that leverage the strengths of both AI and human editorial judgment, ensuring that AI augments human abilities rather than rendering them obsolete.[34], [35] This balanced approach fosters a more human-centric and creative future for editorial work, maximizing productivity while preserving the essential human elements of the editorial process.[36], [37]
Conclusion
The findings of this insight illuminate the transformative potential of AI-generated content in journalism, particularly in enhancing efficiency and expanding the breadth of coverage within data-rich sectors such as financial and sports reporting. By harnessing natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), automated reporting tools are not only streamlining routine journalistic tasks but also democratizing access to complex data insights, ultimately fostering informed decision-making among audiences. However, this shift toward automation is not without its challenges. The emerging reliance on AI raises significant concerns regarding accuracy, bias, and the possible dilution of journalistic integrity. As these automated systems often reflect the biases embedded in their training datasets, there is an urgent need for news organizations to implement robust verification strategies to mitigate the risk of disseminating misleading information and perpetuating stereotypes. Furthermore, while AI can augment journalistic practices, it cannot replicate the nuanced understanding and ethical considerations that human journalists bring to the table. Thus, maintaining a balance between AI efficiency and human creativity is essential for preserving the diversity and integrity of news reporting. This insight underscores the necessity for ongoing dialogue and research into the ethical implications of AI in journalism, advocating for frameworks that prioritize human oversight and editorial judgment. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of AI on audience engagement, the evolution of journalistic roles, and the mechanisms by which AI can be ethically integrated into newsrooms. By recognizing and addressing these complexities, the media industry can harness the advantages of AI-generated content while ensuring that the core values of journalism which are accuracy, fairness, and inclusivity, remain at the forefront of the evolving landscape.

AI is on track to disrupt the white-collar labor force at an unprecedented pace. He warned that US unemployment could rise to 20% within one to five years.
|
AI startup Anthropic is sounding the alarm on AI’s potential to reshape the workforce — and not in a good way, CNN reported May 29.
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, told CNN in an interview that AI is on track to disrupt the white-collar labor force at an unprecedented pace. He warned that U.S. unemployment could rise to 20% within one to five years.
Entry-level, white-collar roles could be hit hardest, with up to half potentially eliminated as AI grows more capable, Mr. Amodei told Axios.
“AI is starting to get better than humans at almost all intellectual tasks,” he told CNN. “We’re going to collectively, as a society, grapple with it.”
Anthropic — founded by former OpenAI researchers — recently launched a new AI model that it claims can operate with limited human oversight for nearly seven hours. Mr. Amodei said the company monitors how its tools are used and noted a shift: about 40% of users now apply AI for full automation rather than job augmentation — a figure that continues to climb.
While proponents often emphasize AI’s productivity benefits, Mr. Amodei’s comments reflect rising unease among industry leaders about broader economic consequences. If his predictions come to pass, the job losses could rival or exceed the employment shock seen during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Experts are raising similar concerns. A 2024 survey from the World Economic Forum found that 41% of employers globally expect to reduce their workforce by 2030 due to AI automation.
To help offset potential fallout, Mr. Amodei has proposed policy interventions, including taxing AI companies to redistribute the wealth generated by the technology.
“It’s definitely not in my economic interest to say that,” he told CNN, “but I think this is something we should consider.”

AI Could Wipe 50% Of Entry-Level Jobs As Governments Hide Truth, Anthropic CEO Claims
|
https://www.ndtv.com
|
[] |
According to the Anthropic boss, unemployment could increase by 10 per cent to 20 per cent over the next five years due to AI use.
|
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could soon wipe out 50 per cent of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years. He added that governments across the world were downplaying the threat when AI's rising use could lead to a significant spike in unemployment numbers
"We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming. I don't think this is on people's radar," Mr Amodei told Axios.
According to the Anthropic boss, unemployment could increase by 10 per cent to 20 per cent over the next five years, with most of the people 'unaware' about what was coming.
"Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen. It sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it," he said.
Mr Amodei said the US government had kept mum on the issue, fearing backlash from workers who would panic or that the country could fall behind in the AI race against China. The 42-year-old CEO added that AI companies and the governments needed to stop "sugarcoating" the risks of mass job elimination in fields such as technology, finance, law, and consulting.
"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.'"

Anthropic CEO ringing the warning bell comes at a time when the company launched its most powerful AI chatbot, Claude Opus 4, last week. In a safety report, Antrophic said the new tool blackmailed developers when they threatened to shut it down.
In one of the test scenarios, the model was given access to fictional emails revealing that the engineer responsible for pulling the plug and replacing it with another model was having an extramarital affair. Facing an existential crisis, the Opus 4 model blackmailed the engineer by threatening to "reveal the affair if the replacement goes through".
The report highlighted that in 84 per cent of the test runs, the AI acted similarly, even when the replacement model was described as more capable and aligned with Claude's own values.

Business Insider laid off about one fifth of its workforce Thursday, a sweeping round of cuts that affected every department and drew swift criticism from former employees and their union.
The layoffs were announced in a staff memo from Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng, who framed the cuts as part of a long-term transformation strategy to make the publication “the essential source of business, tech, and innovation journalism.”

“We are reducing the size of our organization, a move that will impact about 21% of our colleagues and touch every department,” Peng wrote in the memo, which was sent to staff Thursday morning.
“While today’s changes are what we must do to build the most enduring Business Insider, it doesn’t make them any easier,” she added.
In addition to scaling back on coverage areas and “traffic-sensitive business,” Business Insider plans to exit most of its Commerce verticals, which have long been a major revenue driver through affiliate links and search engine traffic. The company also announced a new push into live journalism events through a platform called BI Live and a sharp pivot toward artificial intelligence.
“Over 70% of Business Insider employees are already using Enterprise ChatGPT regularly (our goal is 100%), and we’re building prompt libraries and sharing everyday use cases that help us work faster, smarter, and better,” Peng wrote.

The focus on AI did not sit well with the Insider Union, a unit of the NewsGuild of New York, which sharply rebuked the layoffs in a statement Thursday.
“To say this was tone-deaf to include in an email on layoffs would be an understatement,” the union said, referring to Peng’s emphasis on going “all-in on AI” in the same announcement. “Our position as a union is that no AI tool or technology should — or can — take the place of human beings.”
According to the union, about 20% of its members were affected by the layoffs. “The layoffs of our talented co-workers and union members is another example of Axel Springer’s brazen pivot away from journalism toward greed,” the statement read, referencing the German media conglomerate that owns Business Insider.

“This is the third round of layoffs in as many years and it is unacceptable that union members and other talented coworkers are again paying the price for the strategic failures of Business Insider’s leadership,” the union added.
Former staffers began sharing the news of their departures across social media. “I’m one of a big bunch of journalists who got laid off from Business Insider today. This sucks!” wrote Adam Rogers, a longtime journalist and former Wired editor, on Bluesky. “Which is to say, I wish the profession I’ve spent my life chasing wasn’t in such chaos.”
Others pointed to the significant cuts within the Commerce team, a division once heavily focused on search-optimized shopping content. William Antonelli, a former full-time staffer laid off from Business Insider last year, wrote on X, “Today’s layoffs destroyed the Commerce team, my only source of semi-stable freelance work.”
Though much of the media industry has heartily embraced commerce content over the last decade, Business Insider cited volatility in traffic and the decline of search-driven referral models as reasons to curtail its coverage. “We’re reducing our overall company to a size where we can absorb that volatility,” Peng wrote.

In its place is BI Live, a new division centered on live journalism and in-person events that’s aimed at connecting with its audience and expanding its experiential offerings. Peng ended her memo by urging employees to lean on one another for support during the transition, acknowledging the difficulty of the changes and the challenges ahead.

Additionally, the growing reliance on these technologies in newsrooms raises concerns about diminishing traditional journalistic values, such as integrity, diversity of viewpoints, and the critical thinking required for investigative reporting. As AI continues to advance, it is vital to strike a balance between leveraging its efficiency in content production and preserving the human elements that ensure quality journalism. This insight will explore these dynamics, examining the role of AI in modern journalism, the effectiveness of automated reporting tools, and the ethical challenges facing the industry as it adapts to these technological innovations.
The Role of AI in Transforming Journalism
How do automated reporting tools utilize NLP and ML?
Automated reporting tools are revolutionizing how data is analyzed and presented by leveraging the powerful combination of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). By utilizing NLP, these tools create narratives that make complex data insights more accessible and understandable, effectively bridging the gap between raw data and meaningful interpretation.[1] ML techniques are integral to this process, as they are employed to uncover trends and predict future outcomes, thereby providing a forward-looking perspective that is invaluable for strategic decision-making.[2] The combined use of ML and NLP allows these tools to not only glean insights from vast amounts of data but also visualize and display them in user-friendly reports.[3] This synergy ensures that AI report generators produce outputs that are both data-driven and tailored for user engagement, making the insights actionable and easier to comprehend.[4] Emphasizing the need for continued advancements, these tools highlight the importance of maintaining high data quality to ensure the effectiveness of AI-powered reporting.[5] The integration of these technologies represents a significant shift toward more dynamic, interactive, and insightful reporting, which is essential in meeting the evolving demands of data-driven industries.
In what areas of journalism is AI-driven reporting most effective?
AI-driven reporting excels particularly in areas where routine and data-heavy tasks are prevalent, such as financial reporting and sports journalism. The Associated Press’s adoption of AI to generate thousands of financial reports each quarter underscores the technology’s effectiveness in handling vast amounts of numerical data and producing consistent, timely content.[6] This capability is further exemplified by AI tools like Wordsmith, which are skilled at producing quick and accurate articles on sports results and earnings reports, thereby ensuring that these stories are not only up-to-date but also maintain a uniform tone and style in line with publication standards.[7] By automating these routine tasks, AI allows journalists to redirect their efforts towards more intricate and investigative stories, potentially enhancing the overall quality of journalism.[8] The strategic integration of AI in such domains not only boosts efficiency but also ensures that the reporting is comprehensive and aligned with audience expectations, paving the way for more personalized journalism.[9] As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial for news organizations to leverage these advancements to maintain a balance between automated efficiency and human creativity, ultimately enriching the journalistic landscape.
What are the potential benefits of using AI-generated content in news production?
The integration of AI-generated content into news production offers substantial benefits that extend beyond mere operational efficiency, significantly transforming the landscape of journalism. One of the key advantages is the ability of AI to enhance the diversity of content, allowing news organizations to cover a broader range of topics and perspectives than traditional methods might permit.[10] This diversification can lead to a richer and more inclusive news environment, which is essential in engaging a wider audience and addressing varied informational needs.[11] Furthermore, AI’s capacity to process and analyze large data sets quickly enables journalists to produce more informed and insightful reports, thus improving the depth and quality of journalism.[12] This analytical prowess not only aids in identifying important news angles that might be overlooked by human reporters but also ensures that the coverage is both comprehensive and nuanced.[13] Additionally, by automating repetitive tasks, AI allows journalists to devote more time and energy to complex investigative stories, enhancing the overall quality of the news produced.[14] The automation of such tasks not only streamlines the workflow but also reduces operational costs, making news production more economically viable.[15] As a result, AI not only enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of news production but also contributes to a more vibrant and dynamic media landscape. To fully realize these benefits, it is crucial for news organizations to integrate AI thoughtfully and responsibly, ensuring that it complements rather than replaces the critical role of human journalists in delivering credible and empathetic storytelling.[16]
Challenges and Ethical Concerns in AI-Driven Journalism
What are the main concerns regarding accuracy and bias in AI-generated content?
The primary concerns regarding the accuracy and bias in AI-generated content are intricately interwoven with the underlying mechanisms of AI systems and the data they utilize. A significant issue is confabulation, where AI systems generate content that includes false information presented as factual, leading to inaccuracies that can misinform users.[17] It can also include hallucinations when a model fabricates facts, quotes, or events that appear plausible but are not supported by any real sources or verified data. Such inaccuracies are exacerbated by the potential for AI tools to be limited by their datasets, which might not reflect the most current or comprehensive knowledge available, resulting in outdated or incomplete information.[18] Moreover, the biases embedded within AI-generated content often stem from the biased data used during the training phase of these systems, perpetuating existing stereotypes and leading to skewed or unfair representations.[19], [20] This combination of inaccuracy and bias poses a risk of misleading information influencing public opinion and decision-making processes, which can have far-reaching implications across various sectors.[21] Addressing these concerns requires a multi-faceted approach, including cross-checking AI-generated outputs against authoritative sources, such as expert publications, to verify accuracy and identify potential biases.[22] Moving forward, it is imperative to implement strategies that not only enhance the accuracy of AI-generated content but also mitigate inherent biases to foster trust and ensure ethical standards in content creation.[23]
How might over-reliance on AI impact journalistic integrity and diversity?
The reliance on AI in journalism, while offering efficiencies in data analysis and narrative construction, also presents significant challenges to journalistic integrity and diversity. One of the primary concerns is that AI’s capabilities might overshadow critical thinking and creativity, which are essential elements of quality journalism.[24] When journalists depend heavily on AI tools, their original reporting may suffer, as these technologies might not adequately capture the nuance and depth required for comprehensive news coverage.[25] Furthermore, AI models, often trained on data from predominantly large technology companies, might perpetuate homogenized content, lacking the diversity of human experiences and perspectives necessary for a rich media landscape.[26] This could result in a media environment where diverse voices are marginalized, and editorial judgment is weakened, ultimately compromising the integrity of journalism.[27] To counter these challenges, it is critical to ensure that AI is utilized as a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for human insight and oversight, thus safeguarding the diversity and richness of journalistic content.[28] Responsible and ethical integration of AI in journalism is necessary to maintain transparency, accountability, and diversity, ensuring that AI complements rather than compromises journalistic values.[29]
What balance should be maintained between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment?
The integration of AI in editorial processes highlights the need to strike a balance between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment, ensuring creativity and quality in content creation.[30] While AI excels in automating routine data-driven tasks, as evidenced by its use in generating financial reports, it is crucial to recognize the irreplaceable value of human intuition and creativity that AI systems cannot replicate.[31] Human editors play a vital role in infusing content with authenticity and ethical considerations, providing insights that go beyond the capabilities of AI.[32] This collaborative approach not only enhances content quality but also enables human editors to focus on high-level tasks such as strategy, creativity, and oversight, thereby maintaining the unique aspects of human insight in areas where AI falls short.[33] To achieve optimal results, organizations should prioritize developing strategies that leverage the strengths of both AI and human editorial judgment, ensuring that AI augments human abilities rather than rendering them obsolete.[34], [35] This balanced approach fosters a more human-centric and creative future for editorial work, maximizing productivity while preserving the essential human elements of the editorial process.[36], [37]
Conclusion
The findings of this insight illuminate the transformative potential of AI-generated content in journalism, particularly in enhancing efficiency and expanding the breadth of coverage within data-rich sectors such as financial and sports reporting.

[00:00:00.000] It’s the end of the week. Yes. And I’m really happy to have you sitting next to me, Stefan. Thank you. I’m not even sure what inspired this, but something in your head. I mean, I know you’re dealing with a lot of companies who are looking at some large scale automation projects. And I don’t know, you just started chatting about thinking about… We spend too much time thinking about the before automation. Why How are we going to design it? The implementation? And then you brought up with us this idea of, well, let’s think about what happens after. And in particular, the impact on a labor force that undergoes a massive automation project or transformation of their operations.
[00:00:50.600] The so-called human capital.
[00:00:53.060] Human capital, which every annual report, the letter from every president of every publicly traded company, what is their number one asset? The human. Absolutely. So how are humans affected when they now find themselves working in an automated environment?
[00:01:12.970] Well, I think they got to be brought in the project as soon as possible. I think they’re part of the project. And that’s why… I think that’s the reason why we’re not using robots so much anymore. The term we’re using cobot? Because they work together.
[00:01:29.390] It’s a collaboration.
[00:01:30.590] Absolutely. So it’s a teamwork. It’s a team effort. Well, we know the end result. But if you look at it in a broader, in a bigger picture, it’s a team effort. It’s a company effort. It’s going to change. It’s going to change who you are, the way you do things, how you’re going to grow, everything within the company. So forget about the automation by itself. It’s going to touch every single human in your company.
[00:02:01.770] When implementing automation, it’s a massive change management project, and it’s something that without good open communication, can inspire enormous fear and anxiety on the part of a workforce. Yes. Because, and that’s where your cobot comment is so interesting, you will send people into fear that automation means removing of a workforce, which really isn’t true. Well, it’s true.
[00:02:32.970] Yes. But at the same time, it creates opportunity for others. So others that are in that human force that you have today, because some are going to see it as an opportunity to become a technician, to become an automation expert, to become more of a manager that does multitasking, because it’s not so much about doing in action anymore. It’s about looking at the whole system. So some jobs are just going to change. They’re not going to be there anymore. So you’re going to be able to reskill your people. And some of them are going to see it as a major improvement in their quality.
[00:03:18.000] Right. So there’s… I guess the first thing I want to say before we go down that road just yet, because what is interesting is, of course, no company is making massive investments investments like this with a zero or negative growth rate projected into the future. So it really isn’t about… Yes, you are justifying these investments on a certain amount of labor savings, certain amount of space savings, and a certain amount of throughput per hour improvement.
[00:03:50.280] Productivity, yeah.
[00:03:50.940] But there’s still an enormous workforce that’s left. And then, as you’re just saying, that workforce, the nature of their job changes.
[00:04:00.740] So whether you keep the same workers or you get new ones, but the skillset needs to change, right? So it’s very different. So your lift truck operators are now going to be co-bots. Operators, and they’re going to be station operators. So they’re going to operate a palletizer, an automatic… Because an automatic palletizer doesn’t run by itself.
[00:04:27.250] Right.
[00:04:27.560] I mean, one, yes. Well, I mean, Now, one worker can now operate many palletizer. So here you go. So he’s now a palettizer operator. While before that, he was a palettizer. Right.
[00:04:42.960] Because there’s a couple of things there. First, the idea that every input into an automated system is perfect, not true. Absolutely not. So there’s a lot of troubleshooting to keep the system moving along. And then there’s just managing. There’s all sorts of exceptions and things to deal with to keep it running. So there’s that. So now, like you just said, I was a reach truck driver, putting pallets away, grabbing pallets and that. Now I’m suddenly, I got a lot of screens I got monitors. And so the nature of my job has just become more sophisticated. Yeah, absolutely. With a higher responsibility over the system’s throughput.
[00:05:30.170] Well, we, the young guys of distribution, went through the changes of working with paper and moving from paper to computer systems. To computer. And there was a change, and it brought in productivity. It brought in… And has anybody lost their job?
[00:05:51.380] No. In fact, here’s an interesting statistic, at least both in Canada and United States. Warehouse work as a % of all work across across the economy has grown. Now, part of that’s e-commerce. But then think about that. That e-commerce is enabled by a technology that is also derived from what you just talked about, that transformation. And it’s always the case. These transformations create whole new worlds of opportunity, including for, as we said, those forklift drivers and the folks doing one job now transform into another job.
[00:06:32.710] Well, the capacity of growing. When you put an automation system in, you always forecast the next seven years, the next 10 years, but hoping you’re going to outgrow those forecasts. You can because now you have a system that supports it, that can work 24/7. Now you They need the people to support that system. And that’s where the human comes into play.
[00:07:06.610] So it’s not just… So let’s say there’s… What did we just say? We’ve said, look, you got to engage everybody early on so that it reduce anxiety. But also you’re doing that to start orienting them to their new job. Having said that, there is a new injection of a new type of laborer that is coming in or worker, of course, which is a very technical type of worker, right? Who’s doing maintenance, and that maintenance is both on the physical aspects of the electrical, mechanical aspects, and the computer systems that are now required to run these things. Yeah.
[00:07:47.730] But you’d be surprised how many of the people you have today will be willing to learn. And you know what? The largest all of If you talk to any equipment provider, they’ll tell you, Bring people in when we start doing the proof of concept, and we’ll teach them. We’ll teach them, and you know what? They’ll be interested in moving from a picking position to even the maintenance, which they never thought of before. But suddenly it’s a new opportunity to really give themselves skills that also will be transportable in their careers.
[00:08:31.670] It’s so interesting what you just said because it reminds me back to the moving from paper to paperless. And towards the end of that era of moving to paperless, and I know there are people who are still on paper there, but you guys are real dinosaurs. But at the end of that process, the thing that would be compelling to everybody when they think their workforce can’t adapt to this, I’d be like, have you watched them on their iPhone, on their smartphones? They can do lizard-like things. My daughter, when she was eight, could run my phone better than I could. Probably still today. Definitely still today. But I take your point in the sense that these folks can actually take on these new technical skills that are required, especially bring them in early, and then you invest in retraining.
[00:09:32.250] I think you have to bring your human resources department in as part of the team in an automation project because they’ll be as involved as operations are because you’re going to need new people. And not only that is that you have to factor it in. We always see we look at the payback and we look at labor against automation, and then But how are you going to get those employees in two years, three years, four years from now is also part of that calculation. And they’re just harder to get. So when you have factor all that in, it changes the projects.
[00:10:20.950] Interesting. So what is your… I mean, your number one advice to anyone going down this would be engage the workforce early. Absolutely. When you’re dealing with a unionized environment, do you have any additional advice?
[00:10:36.760] You have to bring them in as well. You have to bring them in as soon as you have a concept, as soon as you have a concept. I won’t say when you start thinking about it, but when you have a concept, something concrete, you start getting numbers. And well, that’s when you have to bring them in because it shows transparency. And And I mean, again, they will see opportunity for the best.
[00:11:06.150] You’ve got to make that workforce a partner to you in this project. They have to understand, you have to eliminate that anxiety and let them embrace what this next generation of warehousing looks like. Absolutely. A hundred %. I mean, I don’t know. Is there anything else you want to say?
[00:11:27.580] Hey, enjoy your projects and keep on talking. It’s an open discussion, and you got to bring as many players in the discussion as you can.
[00:11:40.870] And as soon as it makes sense.
[00:11:42.260] And as soon as you can.
[00:11:43.540] The longer you wait, the harder it’s going to get. Absolutely. Which is true of every aspect of an automation project.
[00:11:49.710] Pretty much. Yes.
[00:11:51.200] All right. Well, Stefan, thank you for this. This is great.
[00:11:53.520] Yeah, thanks to you. All right. Okay.
[00:11:55.630] Have a good weekend. You, too.

AI-Generated Content in Journalism: The Rise of Automated Reporting
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly reshaped the journalism landscape, bringing about major shifts in how news is produced and shared. Automated reporting tools, driven by natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), are becoming central to media organizations, enabling them to produce articles, summaries, and analyses with remarkable speed and efficiency. This shift is particularly noticeable in fields that rely heavily on data, such as financial news, sports reporting, and weather updates, where the ability to quickly process and present large amounts of information is crucial.
However, as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, several challenges and ethical issues emerge. Questions around the accuracy and potential biases of algorithm-driven journalism are rising, as the reliability of AI-generated news can sometimes be questioned. Additionally, the growing reliance on these technologies in newsrooms raises concerns about diminishing traditional journalistic values, such as integrity, diversity of viewpoints, and the critical thinking required for investigative reporting. As AI continues to advance, it is vital to strike a balance between leveraging its efficiency in content production and preserving the human elements that ensure quality journalism. This insight will explore these dynamics, examining the role of AI in modern journalism, the effectiveness of automated reporting tools, and the ethical challenges facing the industry as it adapts to these technological innovations.
The Role of AI in Transforming Journalism
How do automated reporting tools utilize NLP and ML?
Automated reporting tools are revolutionizing how data is analyzed and presented by leveraging the powerful combination of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). By utilizing NLP, these tools create narratives that make complex data insights more accessible and understandable, effectively bridging the gap between raw data and meaningful interpretation.[1] ML techniques are integral to this process, as they are employed to uncover trends and predict future outcomes, thereby providing a forward-looking perspective that is invaluable for strategic decision-making.[2] The combined use of ML and NLP allows these tools to not only glean insights from vast amounts of data but also visualize and display them in user-friendly reports.[3] This synergy ensures that AI report generators produce outputs that are both data-driven and tailored for user engagement, making the insights actionable and easier to comprehend.[4] Emphasizing the need for continued advancements, these tools highlight the importance of maintaining high data quality to ensure the effectiveness of AI-powered reporting.[5] The integration of these technologies represents a significant shift toward more dynamic, interactive, and insightful reporting, which is essential in meeting the evolving demands of data-driven industries.
In what areas of journalism is AI-driven reporting most effective?
AI-driven reporting excels particularly in areas where routine and data-heavy tasks are prevalent, such as financial reporting and sports journalism. The Associated Press’s adoption of AI to generate thousands of financial reports each quarter underscores the technology’s effectiveness in handling vast amounts of numerical data and producing consistent, timely content.[6] This capability is further exemplified by AI tools like Wordsmith, which are skilled at producing quick and accurate articles on sports results and earnings reports, thereby ensuring that these stories are not only up-to-date but also maintain a uniform tone and style in line with publication standards.[7] By automating these routine tasks, AI allows journalists to redirect their efforts towards more intricate and investigative stories, potentially enhancing the overall quality of journalism.[8] The strategic integration of AI in such domains not only boosts efficiency but also ensures that the reporting is comprehensive and aligned with audience expectations, paving the way for more personalized journalism.[9] As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial for news organizations to leverage these advancements to maintain a balance between automated efficiency and human creativity, ultimately enriching the journalistic landscape.
What are the potential benefits of using AI-generated content in news production?
The integration of AI-generated content into news production offers substantial benefits that extend beyond mere operational efficiency, significantly transforming the landscape of journalism. One of the key advantages is the ability of AI to enhance the diversity of content, allowing news organizations to cover a broader range of topics and perspectives than traditional methods might permit.[10] This diversification can lead to a richer and more inclusive news environment, which is essential in engaging a wider audience and addressing varied informational needs.[11] Furthermore, AI’s capacity to process and analyze large data sets quickly enables journalists to produce more informed and insightful reports, thus improving the depth and quality of journalism.[12] This analytical prowess not only aids in identifying important news angles that might be overlooked by human reporters but also ensures that the coverage is both comprehensive and nuanced.[13] Additionally, by automating repetitive tasks, AI allows journalists to devote more time and energy to complex investigative stories, enhancing the overall quality of the news produced.[14] The automation of such tasks not only streamlines the workflow but also reduces operational costs, making news production more economically viable.[15] As a result, AI not only enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of news production but also contributes to a more vibrant and dynamic media landscape. To fully realize these benefits, it is crucial for news organizations to integrate AI thoughtfully and responsibly, ensuring that it complements rather than replaces the critical role of human journalists in delivering credible and empathetic storytelling.[16]
Challenges and Ethical Concerns in AI-Driven Journalism
What are the main concerns regarding accuracy and bias in AI-generated content?
The primary concerns regarding the accuracy and bias in AI-generated content are intricately interwoven with the underlying mechanisms of AI systems and the data they utilize. A significant issue is confabulation, where AI systems generate content that includes false information presented as factual, leading to inaccuracies that can misinform users.[17] It can also include hallucinations when a model fabricates facts, quotes, or events that appear plausible but are not supported by any real sources or verified data. Such inaccuracies are exacerbated by the potential for AI tools to be limited by their datasets, which might not reflect the most current or comprehensive knowledge available, resulting in outdated or incomplete information.[18] Moreover, the biases embedded within AI-generated content often stem from the biased data used during the training phase of these systems, perpetuating existing stereotypes and leading to skewed or unfair representations.[19], [20] This combination of inaccuracy and bias poses a risk of misleading information influencing public opinion and decision-making processes, which can have far-reaching implications across various sectors.[21] Addressing these concerns requires a multi-faceted approach, including cross-checking AI-generated outputs against authoritative sources, such as expert publications, to verify accuracy and identify potential biases.[22] Moving forward, it is imperative to implement strategies that not only enhance the accuracy of AI-generated content but also mitigate inherent biases to foster trust and ensure ethical standards in content creation.[23]
How might over-reliance on AI impact journalistic integrity and diversity?
The reliance on AI in journalism, while offering efficiencies in data analysis and narrative construction, also presents significant challenges to journalistic integrity and diversity. One of the primary concerns is that AI’s capabilities might overshadow critical thinking and creativity, which are essential elements of quality journalism.[24] When journalists depend heavily on AI tools, their original reporting may suffer, as these technologies might not adequately capture the nuance and depth required for comprehensive news coverage.[25] Furthermore, AI models, often trained on data from predominantly large technology companies, might perpetuate homogenized content, lacking the diversity of human experiences and perspectives necessary for a rich media landscape.[26] This could result in a media environment where diverse voices are marginalized, and editorial judgment is weakened, ultimately compromising the integrity of journalism.[27] To counter these challenges, it is critical to ensure that AI is utilized as a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for human insight and oversight, thus safeguarding the diversity and richness of journalistic content.[28] Responsible and ethical integration of AI in journalism is necessary to maintain transparency, accountability, and diversity, ensuring that AI complements rather than compromises journalistic values.[29]
What balance should be maintained between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment?
The integration of AI in editorial processes highlights the need to strike a balance between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment, ensuring creativity and quality in content creation.[30] While AI excels in automating routine data-driven tasks, as evidenced by its use in generating financial reports, it is crucial to recognize the irreplaceable value of human intuition and creativity that AI systems cannot replicate.[31] Human editors play a vital role in infusing content with authenticity and ethical considerations, providing insights that go beyond the capabilities of AI.[32] This collaborative approach not only enhances content quality but also enables human editors to focus on high-level tasks such as strategy, creativity, and oversight, thereby maintaining the unique aspects of human insight in areas where AI falls short.[33] To achieve optimal results, organizations should prioritize developing strategies that leverage the strengths of both AI and human editorial judgment, ensuring that AI augments human abilities rather than rendering them obsolete.[34], [35] This balanced approach fosters a more human-centric and creative future for editorial work, maximizing productivity while preserving the essential human elements of the editorial process.[36], [37]
Conclusion
The findings of this insight illuminate the transformative potential of AI-generated content in journalism, particularly in enhancing efficiency and expanding the breadth of coverage within data-rich sectors such as financial and sports reporting. By harnessing natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), automated reporting tools are not only streamlining routine journalistic tasks but also democratizing access to complex data insights, ultimately fostering informed decision-making among audiences. However, this shift toward automation is not without its challenges. The emerging reliance on AI raises significant concerns regarding accuracy, bias, and the possible dilution of journalistic integrity. As these automated systems often reflect the biases embedded in their training datasets, there is an urgent need for news organizations to implement robust verification strategies to mitigate the risk of disseminating misleading information and perpetuating stereotypes. Furthermore, while AI can augment journalistic practices, it cannot replicate the nuanced understanding and ethical considerations that human journalists bring to the table. Thus, maintaining a balance between AI efficiency and human creativity is essential for preserving the diversity and integrity of news reporting. This insight underscores the necessity for ongoing dialogue and research into the ethical implications of AI in journalism, advocating for frameworks that prioritize human oversight and editorial judgment. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of AI on audience engagement, the evolution of journalistic roles, and the mechanisms by which AI can be ethically integrated into newsrooms. By recognizing and addressing these complexities, the media industry can harness the advantages of AI-generated content while ensuring that the core values of journalism which are accuracy, fairness, and inclusivity, remain at the forefront of the evolving landscape.

What are the main concerns regarding accuracy and bias in AI-generated content?
The primary concerns regarding the accuracy and bias in AI-generated content are intricately interwoven with the underlying mechanisms of AI systems and the data they utilize. A significant issue is confabulation, where AI systems generate content that includes false information presented as factual, leading to inaccuracies that can misinform users.[17] It can also include hallucinations when a model fabricates facts, quotes, or events that appear plausible but are not supported by any real sources or verified data. Such inaccuracies are exacerbated by the potential for AI tools to be limited by their datasets, which might not reflect the most current or comprehensive knowledge available, resulting in outdated or incomplete information.[18] Moreover, the biases embedded within AI-generated content often stem from the biased data used during the training phase of these systems, perpetuating existing stereotypes and leading to skewed or unfair representations.[19], [20] This combination of inaccuracy and bias poses a risk of misleading information influencing public opinion and decision-making processes, which can have far-reaching implications across various sectors.[21] Addressing these concerns requires a multi-faceted approach, including cross-checking AI-generated outputs against authoritative sources, such as expert publications, to verify accuracy and identify potential biases.[22] Moving forward, it is imperative to implement strategies that not only enhance the accuracy of AI-generated content but also mitigate inherent biases to foster trust and ensure ethical standards in content creation.[23]
How might over-reliance on AI impact journalistic integrity and diversity?
The reliance on AI in journalism, while offering efficiencies in data analysis and narrative construction, also presents significant challenges to journalistic integrity and diversity. One of the primary concerns is that AI’s capabilities might overshadow critical thinking and creativity, which are essential elements of quality journalism.[24] When journalists depend heavily on AI tools, their original reporting may suffer, as these technologies might not adequately capture the nuance and depth required for comprehensive news coverage.[25] Furthermore, AI models, often trained on data from predominantly large technology companies, might perpetuate homogenized content, lacking the diversity of human experiences and perspectives necessary for a rich media landscape.[26] This could result in a media environment where diverse voices are marginalized, and editorial judgment is weakened, ultimately compromising the integrity of journalism.[27] To counter these challenges, it is critical to ensure that AI is utilized as a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for human insight and oversight, thus safeguarding the diversity and richness of journalistic content.[28] Responsible and ethical integration of AI in journalism is necessary to maintain transparency, accountability, and diversity, ensuring that AI complements rather than compromises journalistic values.[29]
What balance should be maintained between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment?
The integration of AI in editorial processes highlights the need to strike a balance between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment, ensuring creativity and quality in content creation.[30] While AI excels in automating routine data-driven tasks, as evidenced by its use in generating financial reports, it is crucial to recognize the irreplaceable value of human intuition and creativity that AI systems cannot replicate.[31] Human editors play a vital role in infusing content with authenticity and ethical considerations, providing insights that go beyond the capabilities of AI.[32] This collaborative approach not only enhances content quality but also enables human editors to focus on high-level tasks such as strategy, creativity, and oversight, thereby maintaining the unique aspects of human insight in areas where AI falls short.[33] To achieve optimal results, organizations should prioritize developing strategies that leverage the strengths of both AI and human editorial judgment, ensuring that AI augments human abilities rather than rendering them obsolete.[34], [35] This balanced approach fosters a more human-centric and creative future for editorial work, maximizing productivity while preserving the essential human elements of the editorial process.[36], [37]

By utilizing NLP, these tools create narratives that make complex data insights more accessible and understandable, effectively bridging the gap between raw data and meaningful interpretation.[1] ML techniques are integral to this process, as they are employed to uncover trends and predict future outcomes, thereby providing a forward-looking perspective that is invaluable for strategic decision-making.[2] The combined use of ML and NLP allows these tools to not only glean insights from vast amounts of data but also visualize and display them in user-friendly reports.[3] This synergy ensures that AI report generators produce outputs that are both data-driven and tailored for user engagement, making the insights actionable and easier to comprehend.[4] Emphasizing the need for continued advancements, these tools highlight the importance of maintaining high data quality to ensure the effectiveness of AI-powered reporting.[5] The integration of these technologies represents a significant shift toward more dynamic, interactive, and insightful reporting, which is essential in meeting the evolving demands of data-driven industries.
In what areas of journalism is AI-driven reporting most effective?
AI-driven reporting excels particularly in areas where routine and data-heavy tasks are prevalent, such as financial reporting and sports journalism. The Associated Press’s adoption of AI to generate thousands of financial reports each quarter underscores the technology’s effectiveness in handling vast amounts of numerical data and producing consistent, timely content.[6] This capability is further exemplified by AI tools like Wordsmith, which are skilled at producing quick and accurate articles on sports results and earnings reports, thereby ensuring that these stories are not only up-to-date but also maintain a uniform tone and style in line with publication standards.[7] By automating these routine tasks, AI allows journalists to redirect their efforts towards more intricate and investigative stories, potentially enhancing the overall quality of journalism.[8] The strategic integration of AI in such domains not only boosts efficiency but also ensures that the reporting is comprehensive and aligned with audience expectations, paving the way for more personalized journalism.[9] As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial for news organizations to leverage these advancements to maintain a balance between automated efficiency and human creativity, ultimately enriching the journalistic landscape.
What are the potential benefits of using AI-generated content in news production?
The integration of AI-generated content into news production offers substantial benefits that extend beyond mere operational efficiency, significantly transforming the landscape of journalism. One of the key advantages is the ability of AI to enhance the diversity of content, allowing news organizations to cover a broader range of topics and perspectives than traditional methods might permit.[10] This diversification can lead to a richer and more inclusive news environment, which is essential in engaging a wider audience and addressing varied informational needs.[11] Furthermore, AI’s capacity to process and analyze large data sets quickly enables journalists to produce more informed and insightful reports, thus improving the depth and quality of journalism.[12] This analytical prowess not only aids in identifying important news angles that might be overlooked by human reporters but also ensures that the coverage is both comprehensive and nuanced.[13] Additionally, by automating repetitive tasks, AI allows journalists to devote more time and energy to complex investigative stories, enhancing the overall quality of the news produced.[14] The automation of such tasks not only streamlines the workflow but also reduces operational costs, making news production more economically viable.[15] As a result, AI not only enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of news production but also contributes to a more vibrant and dynamic media landscape. To fully realize these benefits, it is crucial for news organizations to integrate AI thoughtfully and responsibly, ensuring that it complements rather than replaces the critical role of human journalists in delivering credible and empathetic storytelling.[16]
Challenges and Ethical Concerns in AI-Driven Journalism
What are the main concerns regarding accuracy and bias in AI-generated content?
The primary concerns regarding the accuracy and bias in AI-generated content are intricately interwoven with the underlying mechanisms of AI systems and the data they utilize. A significant issue is confabulation, where AI systems generate content that includes false information presented as factual, leading to inaccuracies that can misinform users.[17] It can also include hallucinations when a model fabricates facts, quotes, or events that appear plausible but are not supported by any real sources or verified data. Such inaccuracies are exacerbated by the potential for AI tools to be limited by their datasets, which might not reflect the most current or comprehensive knowledge available, resulting in outdated or incomplete information.[18] Moreover, the biases embedded within AI-generated content often stem from the biased data used during the training phase of these systems, perpetuating existing stereotypes and leading to skewed or unfair representations.[19], [20] This combination of inaccuracy and bias poses a risk of misleading information influencing public opinion and decision-making processes, which can have far-reaching implications across various sectors.[21] Addressing these concerns requires a multi-faceted approach, including cross-checking AI-generated outputs against authoritative sources, such as expert publications, to verify accuracy and identify potential biases.[22] Moving forward, it is imperative to implement strategies that not only enhance the accuracy of AI-generated content but also mitigate inherent biases to foster trust and ensure ethical standards in content creation.[23]
How might over-reliance on AI impact journalistic integrity and diversity?
The reliance on AI in journalism, while offering efficiencies in data analysis and narrative construction, also presents significant challenges to journalistic integrity and diversity. One of the primary concerns is that AI’s capabilities might overshadow critical thinking and creativity, which are essential elements of quality journalism.[24] When journalists depend heavily on AI tools, their original reporting may suffer, as these technologies might not adequately capture the nuance and depth required for comprehensive news coverage.[25] Furthermore, AI models, often trained on data from predominantly large technology companies, might perpetuate homogenized content, lacking the diversity of human experiences and perspectives necessary for a rich media landscape.[26] This could result in a media environment where diverse voices are marginalized, and editorial judgment is weakened, ultimately compromising the integrity of journalism.[27] To counter these challenges, it is critical to ensure that AI is utilized as a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for human insight and oversight, thus safeguarding the diversity and richness of journalistic content.[28] Responsible and ethical integration of AI in journalism is necessary to maintain transparency, accountability, and diversity, ensuring that AI complements rather than compromises journalistic values.[29]
What balance should be maintained between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment?
The integration of AI in editorial processes highlights the need to strike a balance between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment, ensuring creativity and quality in content creation.[30] While AI excels in automating routine data-driven tasks, as evidenced by its use in generating financial reports, it is crucial to recognize the irreplaceable value of human intuition and creativity that AI systems cannot replicate.[31] Human editors play a vital role in infusing content with authenticity and ethical considerations, providing insights that go beyond the capabilities of AI.[32] This collaborative approach not only enhances content quality but also enables human editors to focus on high-level tasks such as strategy, creativity, and oversight, thereby maintaining the unique aspects of human insight in areas where AI falls short.[33] To achieve optimal results, organizations should prioritize developing strategies that leverage the strengths of both AI and human editorial judgment, ensuring that AI augments human abilities rather than rendering them obsolete.[34], [35] This balanced approach fosters a more human-centric and creative future for editorial work, maximizing productivity while preserving the essential human elements of the editorial process.[36], [37]
Conclusion
The findings of this insight illuminate the transformative potential of AI-generated content in journalism, particularly in enhancing efficiency and expanding the breadth of coverage within data-rich sectors such as financial and sports reporting.

Anthropic CEO warns of mass job losses from AI
Just one week after releasing its most advanced AI models to date — Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 — Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned in an interview with Axios that AI could soon reshape the job market in alarming ways.
AI, he said, may be responsible for eliminating up to half of all entry-level white-collar roles within the next one to five years, potentially driving unemployment as high as 10% to 20%.
Amodei’s goal in speaking publicly is to help workers prepare and to urge both AI companies and governments to be more transparent about coming changes. ‘Most of them [workers] are unaware that this is about to happen,’ he told Axios. ‘It sounds crazy, and people just don’t believe it.’
According to Amodei, the shift from AI augmenting jobs to fully automating them could begin as soon as two years from now. He highlighted how widespread displacement may threaten democratic stability and deepen inequality, as large groups of people lose the ability to generate economic value.
Despite these warnings, Amodei explained that competitive pressures prevent developers from slowing down. Regulatory caution in the US, he suggested, would only result in countries like China advancing more rapidly.
Still, not all implications are negative. Amodei pointed to major breakthroughs in other areas, such as healthcare, as part of the broader impact of AI.
‘Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced — and 20% of people don’t have jobs,’ he said.
To prepare society, Amodei called for increased public awareness, encouraging individuals to reconsider career paths and avoid the most automation-prone fields.
He referenced the Anthropic Economic Index, which monitors how AI affects different occupations. At its launch in February, the index showed that 57% of AI use cases still supported human tasks rather than replacing them.
However, during a press-only session at Code with Claude, Amodei noted that augmentation is likely to be a short-term strategy. He described a ‘rising waterline’ — the gradual shift from assistance to full replacement — which may soon outpace efforts to retain human roles.
‘When I think about how to make things more augmentative, that is a strategy for the short and the medium term — in the long term, we are all going to have to contend with the idea that everything humans do is eventually going to be done by AI systems. That is a constant. That will happen,’ he said.
His other recommendations included boosting AI literacy and equipping public officials with a deeper understanding of superintelligent systems, so they can begin forming policy for a radically transformed economy.
While Amodei’s outlook may sound daunting, it echoes a pattern seen throughout history: every major technological disruption brings workforce upheaval. Though some roles vanish, others emerge. Several studies suggest AI may even highlight the continued relevance of distinctively human skills.
Regardless of the outcome, one thing remains clear — learning to work with AI has never been more important.

As AI continues to advance, it is vital to strike a balance between leveraging its efficiency in content production and preserving the human elements that ensure quality journalism. This insight will explore these dynamics, examining the role of AI in modern journalism, the effectiveness of automated reporting tools, and the ethical challenges facing the industry as it adapts to these technological innovations.
The Role of AI in Transforming Journalism
How do automated reporting tools utilize NLP and ML?
Automated reporting tools are revolutionizing how data is analyzed and presented by leveraging the powerful combination of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP). By utilizing NLP, these tools create narratives that make complex data insights more accessible and understandable, effectively bridging the gap between raw data and meaningful interpretation.[1] ML techniques are integral to this process, as they are employed to uncover trends and predict future outcomes, thereby providing a forward-looking perspective that is invaluable for strategic decision-making.[2] The combined use of ML and NLP allows these tools to not only glean insights from vast amounts of data but also visualize and display them in user-friendly reports.[3] This synergy ensures that AI report generators produce outputs that are both data-driven and tailored for user engagement, making the insights actionable and easier to comprehend.[4] Emphasizing the need for continued advancements, these tools highlight the importance of maintaining high data quality to ensure the effectiveness of AI-powered reporting.[5] The integration of these technologies represents a significant shift toward more dynamic, interactive, and insightful reporting, which is essential in meeting the evolving demands of data-driven industries.
In what areas of journalism is AI-driven reporting most effective?
AI-driven reporting excels particularly in areas where routine and data-heavy tasks are prevalent, such as financial reporting and sports journalism. The Associated Press’s adoption of AI to generate thousands of financial reports each quarter underscores the technology’s effectiveness in handling vast amounts of numerical data and producing consistent, timely content.[6] This capability is further exemplified by AI tools like Wordsmith, which are skilled at producing quick and accurate articles on sports results and earnings reports, thereby ensuring that these stories are not only up-to-date but also maintain a uniform tone and style in line with publication standards.[7] By automating these routine tasks, AI allows journalists to redirect their efforts towards more intricate and investigative stories, potentially enhancing the overall quality of journalism.[8] The strategic integration of AI in such domains not only boosts efficiency but also ensures that the reporting is comprehensive and aligned with audience expectations, paving the way for more personalized journalism.[9] As AI continues to evolve, it is crucial for news organizations to leverage these advancements to maintain a balance between automated efficiency and human creativity, ultimately enriching the journalistic landscape.
What are the potential benefits of using AI-generated content in news production?
The integration of AI-generated content into news production offers substantial benefits that extend beyond mere operational efficiency, significantly transforming the landscape of journalism. One of the key advantages is the ability of AI to enhance the diversity of content, allowing news organizations to cover a broader range of topics and perspectives than traditional methods might permit.[10] This diversification can lead to a richer and more inclusive news environment, which is essential in engaging a wider audience and addressing varied informational needs.[11] Furthermore, AI’s capacity to process and analyze large data sets quickly enables journalists to produce more informed and insightful reports, thus improving the depth and quality of journalism.[12] This analytical prowess not only aids in identifying important news angles that might be overlooked by human reporters but also ensures that the coverage is both comprehensive and nuanced.[13] Additionally, by automating repetitive tasks, AI allows journalists to devote more time and energy to complex investigative stories, enhancing the overall quality of the news produced.[14] The automation of such tasks not only streamlines the workflow but also reduces operational costs, making news production more economically viable.[15] As a result, AI not only enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of news production but also contributes to a more vibrant and dynamic media landscape. To fully realize these benefits, it is crucial for news organizations to integrate AI thoughtfully and responsibly, ensuring that it complements rather than replaces the critical role of human journalists in delivering credible and empathetic storytelling.[16]
Challenges and Ethical Concerns in AI-Driven Journalism
What are the main concerns regarding accuracy and bias in AI-generated content?
The primary concerns regarding the accuracy and bias in AI-generated content are intricately interwoven with the underlying mechanisms of AI systems and the data they utilize. A significant issue is confabulation, where AI systems generate content that includes false information presented as factual, leading to inaccuracies that can misinform users.[17] It can also include hallucinations when a model fabricates facts, quotes, or events that appear plausible but are not supported by any real sources or verified data. Such inaccuracies are exacerbated by the potential for AI tools to be limited by their datasets, which might not reflect the most current or comprehensive knowledge available, resulting in outdated or incomplete information.[18] Moreover, the biases embedded within AI-generated content often stem from the biased data used during the training phase of these systems, perpetuating existing stereotypes and leading to skewed or unfair representations.[19], [20] This combination of inaccuracy and bias poses a risk of misleading information influencing public opinion and decision-making processes, which can have far-reaching implications across various sectors.[21] Addressing these concerns requires a multi-faceted approach, including cross-checking AI-generated outputs against authoritative sources, such as expert publications, to verify accuracy and identify potential biases.[22] Moving forward, it is imperative to implement strategies that not only enhance the accuracy of AI-generated content but also mitigate inherent biases to foster trust and ensure ethical standards in content creation.[23]
How might over-reliance on AI impact journalistic integrity and diversity?
The reliance on AI in journalism, while offering efficiencies in data analysis and narrative construction, also presents significant challenges to journalistic integrity and diversity. One of the primary concerns is that AI’s capabilities might overshadow critical thinking and creativity, which are essential elements of quality journalism.[24] When journalists depend heavily on AI tools, their original reporting may suffer, as these technologies might not adequately capture the nuance and depth required for comprehensive news coverage.[25] Furthermore, AI models, often trained on data from predominantly large technology companies, might perpetuate homogenized content, lacking the diversity of human experiences and perspectives necessary for a rich media landscape.[26] This could result in a media environment where diverse voices are marginalized, and editorial judgment is weakened, ultimately compromising the integrity of journalism.[27] To counter these challenges, it is critical to ensure that AI is utilized as a supportive tool, rather than a replacement for human insight and oversight, thus safeguarding the diversity and richness of journalistic content.[28] Responsible and ethical integration of AI in journalism is necessary to maintain transparency, accountability, and diversity, ensuring that AI complements rather than compromises journalistic values.[29]
What balance should be maintained between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment?
The integration of AI in editorial processes highlights the need to strike a balance between AI efficiency and human editorial judgment, ensuring creativity and quality in content creation.[30] While AI excels in automating routine data-driven tasks, as evidenced by its use in generating financial reports, it is crucial to recognize the irreplaceable value of human intuition and creativity that AI systems cannot replicate.[31] Human editors play a vital role in infusing content with authenticity and ethical considerations, providing insights that go beyond the capabilities of AI.[32] This collaborative approach not only enhances content quality but also enables human editors to focus on high-level tasks such as strategy, creativity, and oversight, thereby maintaining the unique aspects of human insight in areas where AI falls short.[33] To achieve optimal results, organizations should prioritize developing strategies that leverage the strengths of both AI and human editorial judgment, ensuring that AI augments human abilities rather than rendering them obsolete.[34], [35] This balanced approach fosters a more human-centric and creative future for editorial work, maximizing productivity while preserving the essential human elements of the editorial process.[36], [37]
Conclusion
The findings of this insight illuminate the transformative potential of AI-generated content in journalism, particularly in enhancing efficiency and expanding the breadth of coverage within data-rich sectors such as financial and sports reporting.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept in hiring—it’s at the very heart of how companies find and evaluate talent. Over the past two years, AI has rapidly evolved from experimental tools to essential recruiting infrastructure. It now powers everything from the way job posts are written to how candidates are assessed and shortlisted.
Hiring teams today are under pressure to do more with less, and AI helps streamline the entire process—faster screenings, smarter matches, and even automated follow-ups. As a result, job seekers must adapt to this AI-driven reality, whether they realize it or not.
In this article, we’ll explore how AI is transforming key stages of hiring: from resume screening and talent sourcing to interviews and the overall candidate experience. Whether you're applying for your first role or pivoting mid-career, understanding how AI works behind the scenes will help you stand out in an increasingly automated process.

Matthias is the co-founder and publisher of THE DECODER, exploring how AI is fundamentally changing the relationship between humans and computers.
Content Summary
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, says AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and drive unemployment to 10–20 percent in as little as one to five years.
Ad
Speaking to Axios, Amodei pointed out that sectors like tech, finance, law, and consulting—particularly at the entry level—are especially vulnerable. He believes most people have little idea how quickly these changes could take hold.
"Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen," Amodei told Axios. "It sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it." One future he imagines: "Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced — and 20% of people don't have jobs."
Amodei says AI leaders have a responsibility to be honest about what's coming
Amodei, who leads the development of advanced models like Claude 4, says it's his responsibility to speak up—even if few are paying attention. "We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming," he said. "I don't think this is on people's radar."

He described the situation as "a very strange set of dynamics," 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.'" For skeptics, he suggests: "Well, what if they're right?"
Amodei argues that both government and industry need to stop minimizing the threat of AI-driven job loss and start preparing the workforce now. "The first step is warn," he said.
Amodei also wants business leaders to help employees understand how their jobs may change, and calls for better education for lawmakers. Most of whom, he says, still don't grasp how drastically AI could reshape the economy. He is pushing for regular briefings and a congressional committee dedicated to the social and economic effects of AI, at both national and local levels.
A "token tax" to help offset job losses
On the policy front, Amodei has suggested a "token tax"—a system where every time a language model generates revenue, three percent goes to the government for redistribution.
"Obviously, that's not in my economic interest," he said. "But I think that would be a reasonable solution to the problem." If the technology takes off as expected, Amodei says, such a tax could generate trillions in new government revenue.
In this case, tokens are the smallest units of language—words, fragments, or punctuation—that an AI model processes when generating responses. The number of tokens used typically determines usage costs for customers.
Looking ahead, Amodei thinks new systems for redistributing wealth and large-scale, publicly funded retraining programs will likely be needed if these forecasts materialize. If so, a fundamental overhaul of the labor market seems inevitable.
The scale of the shift is still unclear
Despite these warnings, recent evidence suggests the transformation may not happen overnight. One study finds that, so far, wages and working hours have seen little change. The so-called "Productivity J-Curve" theory suggests it may take time for the true economic effects of AI to appear, as companies adjust their processes around new technology.
According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, 41 percent of global companies intend to cut jobs due to AI automation, but new roles created by emerging technologies may outnumber those lost. Meanwhile, the AI Index 2025 notes that 60 percent of employees believe AI will change their work, and over a third are worried about losing their jobs.

AI Is Writing Code and Taking Jobs: Microsoft's Layoffs Are ...

AI Is Writing Code and Taking Jobs: Microsoft’s Layoffs Are Just the Start

Microsoft lays off 800 software engineers as AI takes over coding. Junior dev roles are fading, but new AI jobs are emerging ... But not all the job losses are ...
|
Fittingly, the cover image was created by AI.
You remember how it happened, right? They came out and said AI would revolutionise how we work and make us more productive.
People celebrated for a second until they realised it meant they would lose their jobs. Then they assured people jobs wouldn’t be lost but rather that we would just get to achieve more with less.
Well, jobs have been lost and they are going to keep disappearing. However, some new jobs will replace those. Enough to cover the ones lost? Probably not.
Microsoft is the latest to show how this AI boom has wreaked havoc in the coder’s world. The company laid off 2,000 people recently in its home state of Washington.
Of those 2,000, 40% were in software engineering. Yes, 800 folks in software engineering got the boot.
To make sense of this, you have to remember that Microsoft CEO Nadella recently said that up to 30% of the company’s code was now written by AI.
That is wild and should you just hang up the keyboard at this point? Not quite.
Since 2022, tech companies globally have, as they put it, “recalibrated their workforce strategies.”
After the pandemic-era digital life, companies went on hiring sprees. Now, with AI tools like GitHub Copilot becoming more capable, they’re doing more with fewer humans. That means less need for junior developers writing basic code, and more pressure to have smaller teams that utilise AI.
Not all AI’s fault
Let’s not overreact here though, watching all these layoffs might make it seem like the tech world is collapsing. But not all the job losses are because of AI.
A good number of them are because companies overhired when the world went fully digital during the pandemic. Everyone was at home streaming, shopping online, working remotely, and companies hired many coders and software engineers to meet the demand. Now that life has somewhat normalised, some of those jobs were bound to go, AI or not.
That said, let’s not sugarcoat it. AI is accelerating the decline of some roles, especially at the junior level. The types of coding jobs that used to be entry points into tech, maintaining codebases, writing simple functions, or squashing bugs, are the exact kind of work AI is now automating.
The new jobs popping up
But this is not a tech sector collapse, it’s something else. Jobs are disappearing, yes. But others are popping up, some of which didn’t exist five years ago.
So, what are the new roles replacing the traditional coding gigs?
AI/ML Engineers – The people building and fine-tuning the models taking our jobs. It’s ironic, I know, but they are in high demand so they can complete the job of taking our jobs.
Prompt Engineers – Those who’ve figured out the magic words to get the best results out of AI. A mix of coding, linguistics and experimentation. It’s not really magic though as we talked about when we discussed this:
You should follow our WhatsApp channel for some updates which don’t make it here.
AI Product Managers – Not just your average Product Managers. These ones have to know how to ship AI features, manage hallucination risks and work with cross-functional AI teams.
Data Scientists & Analysts – Because AI is only as good as the data it’s trained on. We still need humans to collect, clean, and understand data.
Ethical AI Experts – Especially with the EU AI Act and similar regulations popping up globally. Someone has to keep the AI from going rogue. However, as we discussed earlier this week, that cat is already out of the bag: Refusing Shutdown, Cheating at Chess, and Blackmailing Humans: AI Is Already Acting Strange.
Where does it leave us?
The reality is that the roles above aren’t necessarily easier to get into, but they show what’s going on: the most in-demand tech skills now require understanding not just how to code, but how to work alongside AI.
So, should we still be telling every kid to learn to code? We might need to tweak that advice.
Learning to code is still useful—but not in the way it used to be. Not everyone needs to be a programmer, but you need to know how software works and how to get it to do what you want. That might involve writing code, or it might mean prompting AI effectively.

The "AI jobs apocalypse" is for the bosses

The “AI jobs apocalypse” is bosses like Barbara Peng deciding to lay off ... layoffs, the Duolingo cuts; you get DOGE. As I wrote a couple weeks ago about ...
|
Like a lot of figureheads in the AI industry, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says that ordinary people are not ready for the changes AI is about to unleash on the world. In a widely circulated interview with Axios, Amodei warns we are on the brink of what his interviewers describe as a “job apocalypse” that will wipe out half of entry level jobs and cause the unemployment rate to rise up to 20%. People are unprepared, Amodei says. "Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen.” But before we know it, “cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced—and 20% of people don't have jobs."
On Thursday, Business Insider’s CEO Barbara Peng announced that the company was laying off 21% of its staff and in the same announcement that it was “going all-in on AI.” According to my sources, in addition to hitting some reporters, the cuts largely impacted copywriters—a job that has been targeted for replacement with AI by many companies over the last two years. Peng noted that 70% of Insider employees use its enterprise AI systems, and that they’re trying to get that up to 100%. Alex Springer, BI’s parent company, has a deal with OpenAI that licenses its content to the AI company and gives it access to AI tech.
Is this a sign of Amodei’s AI jobs apocalypse at hand?
A quick message: BLOOD IN THE MACHINE is 100% reader-supported and made possible by my brilliant paying subscribers. I’m able to keep the vast majority of my work free to read and open to all thanks to that support. If you can, for the cost of a coffee a month, or, uh, a coffee table book a year, consider helping me keep this thing running. Thanks everyone. Onwards.
I guess it depends on how you define “AI jobs apocalypse.” The way that AI executives and business leaders want you to define it is something like ‘an unstoppable phenomenon in which consumer technology itself inexorably transforms the economy in a way that forces everyone to be more productive, for them’.
As such, perhaps we should maybe pump the brakes here and look at what’s actually going on, which is more like ‘large technology firms are selling automation software to Fortune 500 companies, executives, and managers who are then deciding to use that automation technology to fire their workers or reduce their hours.’ There is nothing elemental or preordained about this. The “AI jobs apocalypse” is bosses like Barbara Peng deciding to lay off reporters and copywriters and highlighting her commitment to AI while she is doing so.
From what I’ve been told, “AI” isn’t really making much of an impact on BI reporters’ daily working lives, though they do have access to Grammarly, editing software that predates ChatGPT and generative AI products. But traffic at Business Insider is down, just like it is at many, many news orgs right now, in part because discovery from search is down—because ChatGPT and Google AI Overview have buried links to their stories. And there’s an incentive to put BI’s partnership with OpenAI in a positive light.
So instead of, say, pushing back on the way tech companies are taking news orgs’ work and reproducing it on their platform via AI snippets and overviews—capturing user loyalty and ad revenue in the process—most media bosses have decided to partner with those companies and to, say, fire copywriters in the wake of declining revenue streams. This may be somewhat reductive, but these are all human decisions, even when they are made from a menu of all-bad options. And management, more often than not, will align with the interests of the money—represented here by the AI companies—over their workers. Same as it ever was.
Look, I know that this can feel apocalyptic and insurmountable. Hell I was laid off by a media company that then sought to increase its value by adding AI tools to the columns like those I used to write. But I cannot emphasize enough that this is exactly how the AI companies want us all to think. That AI, in the precise form that they are selling it, is inevitable. Adapt or be left behind. The economy will be totally transformed. Get on board, or lose your competitive advantage. Be stranded when the AI jobs apocalypse hits.
But of course there is no AI jobs apocalypse—an apocalypse is catastrophic, terminal, predetermined—but there are bosses with great new incentives/justifications for firing people, for cutting costs, for speeding up work. There is, to split hairs for a minute, a real AI jobs crisis, but that crisis is born of executives like Peng, CEOs like Duolingo’s Louis von Ahn and Klarna’s Sebastian Siemiatkowski all buying what Amodei (and Sam Altman, and the rest of the new AI enthusetariat) is selling. Amodei and the rest are pushing not just automation tools, but an entire new permission structure for enacting that job automation—and a framework that presents the whole phenomenon as outside their control.

And man, is it working! Just look at how Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen, the CEO and executive editor of Axios, respectively, *absolutely lap up* Amodei’s pronouncements. They are completely sold! The tone of the whole article is that of eager students furiously nodding along, pausing to get some agreement from [checking notes here, ah yes] Steve Bannon, before issuing the following disclosure at the bottom of the article:
Full disclosure: At Axios, we ask our managers to explain why AI won't be doing a specific job before green-lighting its approval. (Axios stories are always written and edited by humans.) Few want to admit this publicly, but every CEO is or will soon be doing this privately. Jim wrote a column last week explaining a few steps CEOs can take now.
Here is an excerpt from Jim’s column, about what he’s doing at Axios to “prepare people” for the age of AI:
We tell most staff they should be spending 10% or more of their day using AI to discover ways to double their performance by the end of the year. Some, like coders, should shoot for 10x-ing productivity as AI improves.
Mr. VandeHei could not possibly illustrate my point any more thoroughly if he 10x-ed his descriptive powers with AI. The message is this: There is an AI jobs apocalypse coming, everything is going to change, and if you hope to survive it, you’re going to have to learn to be a lot more productive, for me, your boss. How a reporter is supposed to use AI to “double their performance” without generating articles outright remains undisclosed. That’s a lot of summarized emails.
But the mindset is prevailing, if VandeHei is to be believed: “we're betting [AI] approximates the hype in the next 18 months to three years,” he writes. “And so are most CEOs and top government officials we talk to, even if they're strangely silent about it in public.”
And that’s a real crisis, in my view! This AI automation mania pushes bosses to train the crosshairs on anything and everything that isn’t built to optimize corporate efficiency, and as a result, you get the journalism layoffs, the Duolingo cuts; you get DOGE. As I wrote a couple weeks ago about the REAL AI jobs crisis:
The AI jobs crisis does not, as I’ve written before, look like sentient programs arising all around us, inexorably replacing human jobs en masse. It’s a series of management decisions being made by executives seeking to cut labor costs and consolidate control in their organizations. The AI jobs crisis is not any sort of SkyNet-esque robot jobs apocalypse—it’s DOGE firing tens of thousands of federal employees while waving the banner of “an AI-first strategy.”
If AI turns out to be able to do half of what its staunchest advocates say it can, isn’t its immense power an opportunity to decide for ourselves the kind of jobs that we think are important for a society to have? Why are we limited to playing defense against the whims of those carrying out this AI jobs apocalypse, the executives and the managerial class? The answer is pretty simple: That’s who the AI jobs apocalypse is for!
Which is why visions like Amodei’s wind up underlining how impoverished his cohort’s visions for the future really are: Here is a technology that he believes is the most transformational thing since electricity or whatever, capable of doing hundreds of millions of humans’ jobs within the next few years, and all he can suggest is that governments should “prepare” for the job loss, and maybe institute a 3% tax on AI. Altman used to talk a little bit about a universal basic income—the bare minimum for gesturing towards an interest in the lives of the losers of the AI automation era—but he doesn’t even do that anymore. Now it’s nothing, except the occasional grim suggestion that the social contract itself might have to be rewritten in the AI companies’ favor.
Nothing better clarifies the nature of these projects more than Amodei and Altman proclaiming their technologies will soon be able to do everyone’s jobs on earth—but that vast swaths of those people are probably doomed to be miserable. Not them, though. They will be rich.
PS I know I am maybe not helping by running a project called AI Killed My Job, but the idea for that was I’d include the ways that AI has degraded or ‘killed’ jobs beyond eliminating them, too, and also ‘The Bosses Used AI to Kill My Job’ just felt too long! I’ll share some of the stories from that project next week.
As always, thanks for reading, and hammers up.

Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng sent a memo to employees on Thursday announcing significant layoffs that would affect about 21% of its staff.
|
Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng sent a memo to employees on Thursday announcing significant layoffs that would affect about 21% of its staff.
This is the third round of layoffs for the Axel-Springer owned media outlet in three years, according to Variety.
The memo mentioned several reasons justifying the move, including a major pivot toward AI.
Peng wrote:
“The media industry is at a crossroads. Business models are under pressure, distribution is unstable, and competition for attention is fiercer than ever. At the same time, there’s a huge opportunity for companies who harness AI first. Our strategy is strong, but we don’t have the luxury of time.”
She added that BI is “scaling back on categories that once performed well on other platforms but no longer drive meaningful readership or aren’t areas where we can lead.”
The media outlet’s union, affiliated with the NewsGuild of New York, called the announcement “tone deaf.”
“Let’s be clear,” the statement said. “This is far from anything new. This is the third round of layoffs in as many years and it is unacceptable that union members and other talented coworkers are again paying the price for the strategic failures of Business Insider’s leadership.”
Why it matters: More companies are embracing AI daily. There’s definitely a space for it, but AI should enhance a journalist’s job, not replace it. This could cause a trust issue among its readers and make it more difficult for PR pros to pitch story ideas.
AI overviews and GEO are absolutely changing search and it’s not a bad idea to form new strategies to parallel the new tech. Both BuzzFeed and the Washington Post have created teams to explore how AI can be used in the newsroom. But as a media company, going “all in on AI” is a fine line to walk.
Peng added: “In the past year, we’ve launched multiple AI-driven products to better serve our audience — from gen-AI onsite search to our AI-powered paywall — with new products set to launch in the coming months.”
It’s not only a job displacement issue, there are major ethical concerns that newsrooms in particular need to weigh. AI is not always accurate, so this goes back to trust. And then there’s a concern over pitching. If AI can help produce content, then how do you pitch to the news outlet? Who do you reach out to? With fewer sources to contact, getting the right journalist for the right story becomes that much more difficult.
Editor’s Top Reads:
In a similar, but more pointed effort, Amazon and The New York Times have reached an AI licensing deal that will allow Amazon customers access to specific NYT editorial content. According to Deadline, “the idea is to “bring additional value to Amazon customers and bring Times journalism to wider audiences.” The article added: “Under the new deal, Amazon is licensing editorial content from The New York Times, NYT Cooking, and The Athletic ’for AI-related uses.’ This will include real-time display of summaries and short excerpts of Times content within Amazon products and services, such as Alexa, and training Amazon’s proprietary foundation models.” This is an example of how AI can enhance journalism, draw more readers and target a specific audience. The content is not being affected by AI and it’s a smart way to reach an audience who may or may not be aware of NYT stories. It’s a creative avenue to reach more potential subscribers and offer content in a new stream.
Trump’s trade war is giving businesses whiplash with the latest court decision to stay the ruling on tariffs. Earlier this week, a judge ruled that Trump’s 30% tariffs on China and 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada were illegal, according to the Times. However, that decision was stayed shortly after. From the article: “The constant on-and-off-again nature of the tariffs has made business planning incredibly difficult,’ said Blake Harden, (the Retail Industry Leaders Association’s) vice president for international trade.” Another business owner questioned whether the executive branch even listens to the courts. While Trump is playing hardball, businesses don’t know how to plan. They don’t know what’s coming or if they need to be hiking prices to account for these tariffs. The messaging is as messy as the court decision itself and it could leave companies scrambling to comply at the last minute.
An American microbrewery has done something pretty genius, yet very simple. By sponsoring a British soccer team (I mean football) they’ve found a way to integrate their brand into the hearts – and pockets – of fans. Bryan and Shannon Miles founded No Fo Brewing Co. and because of their love for British soccer, decided to sponsor the Walsall Football Team, a smaller club that plays in England’s League 2, according to the Times. Because of the team’s size, the Miles’ could afford a better sponsorship and promote their beer. Last week during the PR Daily Conference, professor and author Jonah Berger discussed this strategy for messaging: People want stories, something relatable, not just a product placed in front of them. The Miles’ weaved their brand into their love of soccer, and in turn, British fans are drinking it up. People like the guys and gals that invest in their organization. They’ll support it. The Miles’ will profit from it. They wrapped their brand in a nicely tied bow beneath their investment in the soccer club. This endears fans to the brand and allows No Fo Brewing Co. to sit neatly inside. Said Bryan Miles: “And so it just seemed to me that if we could embed the No Fo brand in that, it would be kind of like a Trojan horse.”

|
Business Insider, German media empire Axel Springer’s business and tech-focused publication, announced it planned to lay off roughly 21 percent of its staff on Thursday as it goes “all-in” on AI. “Business models are under pressure, distribution is unstable, and competition for attention is fiercer than ever,“ CEO Barbara Peng told staff in a memo on Thursday. ”At the same time, there’s a huge opportunity for companies who harness AI first.” Peng said the changes would affect every department at the company, and it would ultimately end most of its commerce business, some of its editorial beats, and pivot away from more traffic-dependent elements. The company does plan to launch an event series, BI Live, that it hopes will showcase its journalism—and plans to hire people for that team. “Change like this isn’t easy,” Peng said. “But Business Insider was born in a time of disruption—when the smartphone was reshaping how people consumed news. We thrived by taking risks and building something new.” The company’s union, which said it would lose about 20 percent of its members, blasted the layoffs in a statement: “Axel Springer is a multi-billion dollar firm whose digital outlets and media businesses generate the majority of its revenue. The layoffs of our talented co-workers and union members is another example of Axel Springer’s brazen pivot away from journalism toward greed.” Business Insider had no comment. An Axel Springer spokesperson said that its other U.S.-based media outlets—including Politico and Morning Brew—will not face cuts.

No, Entry Level Jobs Are Not Going Away.
|
No, Entry Level Jobs Are Not Going Away.
|
https://joshbersin.com
|
[] |
Despite articles about AI, entry level hiring is critical to company growth, corporate culture, and long term organizational performance.
|
All of a sudden, there’s a theme and meme that entry-level jobs are going away. Even Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, recently told Axios that 50% of white collar jobs may go away, leaving us with a 20% unemployment rate. (video interview below)
Okay, let me get my head screwed on straight here, but I think this is complete nonsense.
First of all, it’s self-serving for a company that makes automation tools to tell us that they’re going to automate all sorts of jobs. Anthropic is not an automation tool, it’s an AI research lab. I doubt their product managers deeply understand what entry level workers do (except in software of course) in retail, hospitality, manufacturing, banking, consulting, and healthcare.
Second, the reason we have entry level jobs is not just to get work done. It’s to build teams that can develop into senior roles in our organization. And companies that hire young people gain tremendous value in many ways. (Including learning how to implement AI.)
Let me make my case.
Why Entry Level Workers Are So Important
First, young people are less expensive to hire than senior people. They’re more easily trained because they don’t have bad habits they may have picked up in another company, so they do “work” that senior people simply won’t accept.
Second, they are facile and ready to use new tools like AI, and probably know more about them than many of us do because they used them in high school and college. So they can show you how to automate faster than you think.
(A large bank just told me their senior bankers are “watching” their entry level workers to figure out how to get the most out of the Microsoft Copilot.)
Third, they are creators and creative, often because they challenge or question assumptions that we may have stopped questioning ourselves. When an entry employee asks “why,” we often get a chance to rethink our assumptions (which is happening every day around AI).
And fourth, they develop quickly if you if you invest in ongoing development. That gives you the pipeline you need to grow.
While some entry level programs were cut in the last slowdown, I don’t believe most companies hire entry level workers to just “do things.” They’re hired to build a talent pipeline for the future, support and complement senior people, and in many cases they outperform people with more experience. And that’s why these programs are not going away.
For example, it appears that the individual who shut down USAID from DOGE is a 28 year old, brilliant engineer. The fact that he’s 28 has nothing to do with his capabilities to learn, because obviously he’s smart enough to overcome an entire federal agency. So don’t underestimate the power of young people.
For some reason the press picks up on these stories and mimics others, but this narrative is the opposite of the information I’m getting from companies.
We had our research conference a week ago and almost every HR leader or head of recruiting told me that they are rebuilding their entry level development programs for young employees. Why? Driven by tightening the budgets and entry hire slowdowns, their talent pipeline was weakened.
So my first advice to employers is don’t overlook young workers, regardless of AI, because they are going to be the ones that teach you how to use it.
My second message is to remember that a culture of multi generational work creates growth, innovation, and new ideas. Frankly, for people my age, it’s much more fun to have young people in the work environment than it is to have only a bunch of 60 or 70 year olds who make a lot of money.
Third, for those of you looking for work, you may be more valuable than you realize. We are in the middle of building a Superworker Assessment, and this science-based tool will help employers understand the complex problem solving skills employees need to take advantage of the new world of AI. You, as a ready learner, may have more of these skills than those of us that have been around for a while.
Finally, remember that careers take time to build. Whatever job you take, whether it be working in an Amazon fulfillment center, driving a truck, working in Starbucks, or perhaps doing entry level work at Deloitte, Accenture, or a bank may not seem like highly fulfilling work, but you are going to learn amazing things.
My first job coming out of college (with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering) was as a project manager in an oil refinery. It was boring in many respects, but I did learn a lot. And I had the opportunity to learn how contractors and project managers and engineers and oil refineries work. (I worked on the repair of a major concrete coke silo, believe it or not.)
While I chose to leave the oil industry, I walked away from that experience well educated on the business world and the complexities of the energy industry. I learned about the things that I like and the things that I don’t like, and the things that I’m good at, and the things that I’m not good at. So an entry level job that may not seem like the perfect job could be the key to a very fulfilling future.
Yes, the unemployment rate for young workers has ticked up a bit, but in some sense that has always been true. I see no slowdown in the need for humans at work, and unless we have a global recession I believe employers will always look for entry level staff.
One of my young relatives has a degree in accounting and wants to get a job as an auditor. His first job as an auditor was fine but he was laid off when the company had a downturn. In the meantime he has been working at Amazon in a fulfillment center driving a truck.
He was so successful at that job he was promoted to manager and he is now managing a fleet of drivers.
He still wants to become an accountant and he’s going to go back to that chosen career. But I told him maybe this opportunity you uncovered is worth thinking about. While you may not want to be a truck operator your entire life, there’s got to be something about that job at Amazon you learned that might be a key to your future. (I didn’t want to crawl around in concrete silos either.)
Despite articles about AI, entry level hiring is critical to company growth, corporate culture, and long term organizational performance.
Let’s not pay attention to articles about the end of entry level work and remember that hiring young people is one of the most important growth investments we can make.

Employment prospects for graduates have “deteriorated noticeably,” the New York Fed recently warned, as the jobless rate for this cohort ticks up to 5.8%.
|
Making a prediction can be dangerous. Last week, Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, an AI company who’s future success relies on its ability to create economic value, said that “AI could eliminate up to half of all entry-level jobs in the next five years.” Most major publications picked it up. Titles like: “AI set to eliminate half of entry-level jobs…” “Stop sugar-coating it: AI to slash 50% of…” “Tech billionaire warns about looming job apocalypse…” 😵💫 yikes, right? So what’s really happening here? It’s the latest in a series of bold predictions from AI startup CEOs. (So far none has come true and some have backlashed) Each of these predictions pours more gasoline on a raging cultural fire. But behind these claims is an important concept: 💭 Appeal to Authority Fallacy An Appeal to Authority Fallacy is an argument that relies on the opinion or testimony of an expert or authority figure, rather than on sound reasoning or empirical evidence. Dario Amodei is an expert. He’s an expert on how AI works. He’s an expert on building an AI startup. But does that make him a labor economist? An industry analyst? An expert in how the job market will evolve as adoption of AI increases? Not as far as I can see. So that leaves us with examining whether he has economic incentives for such a claim and… He absolutely does. We owe it to our entry-level team members, college students, recent grads, and children to clarify what is real, what is pure speculation, and when there’s a logical fallacy working against us. — ♻️ Reshare if you think others in your network would benefit from being able to more quickly spot the appeal to authority fallacy at work.

Recent graduates are having a harder time landing jobs, with their unemployment rate now above the national average. Yahoo Finance Markets Reporter Josh ...
|
00:00:02 Speaker A
Recent college grads are finding it increasingly difficult to find jobs, and the gap between them and the national average is growing. Joining us now for more is Yahoo Finance market reporter, Josh Schafer.
00:00:15 Josh Schafer
Hey Josh, yes, so we talk a lot about the unemployment rate in America being relatively low. So the unemployment rate that we're looking at on our screen here is in green. It is 4.2%. If you look over time, that is a historically low unemployment rate. But when we zoom into this chart that we're looking at here, we're seeing an interesting trend on who is having a hard time finding a job. So in our white line, we have recent college graduates. Recent college graduates constitute, uh, individuals that are 22 to 27 that just got a degree. Notice the white line typically goes underneath that green line on your screen. So typically it's moving lower. Normally those folks are having an easier time finding a job. But when you zoom in to what's happening right now, you'll see that college graduates are actually having a harder time finding a job than the national average. Two key things to point out with this data. So the folks over at Oxford Economics told me one of the big things we're seeing is AI is definitely playing a little bit of a role here. So AI could be taking in entry-level analyst jobs, entry-level jobs in tech. There's less jobs for these newcomers coming into the job market. Another key piece of this chart in 2022 is when we saw this shift. A lot of college graduates have been going to get a science degrees over the last couple years, right? They've been going into tech. Well, now what's happened since 2022, we've had that year of efficiency from meta and really across tech. There's less jobs in tech now than there used to be. The folks over at indeed told me they've seen a 40% drop in job postings for computer software jobs compared to 2020. So again, there's simply less jobs for people coming into tech right now. So graduates are graduating, they're looking for jobs, they're looking for jobs and they're continuing to not find them as quickly as they used to.
00:03:32 Speaker A
So Josh, part of this, it sounds like is, is the jobs that they're targeting, you're saying?
00:03:42 Josh Schafer
Yes, definitely. It's definitely something that we're seeing specifically in tech, and then when you look at how many college graduates are getting a degree in something like information technology, something like computer science. We had sort of skewed because of this big tech boom over the last 20 years, everyone wants to go get into tech, right? Go learn to code now. Well, that's been a shift because some of those jobs are simply being taken, like I said, by AI, or are now being not offered anymore because these companies are trying to slim down. So it's specifically right now seems to be perhaps a tech sector focus. But economists did tell me that this is one reason that the overall unemployment rate is not expected to be falling anytime soon.
00:04:37 Speaker A
All right, thank you, Josh.

AI Set to Annihilate 50% of Entry-Level Jobs Within 5 Years Says Anthropic CEO Coby Mendoza 5 min read · May 30, 2025 -- Listen Share
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei issued a stark warning at the company’s Code with Claude conference: artificial intelligence (AI) could eliminate up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within one to five years, potentially spiking U.S. unemployment to 10–20%. This “white-collar bloodbath,” as Amodei described to Axios, targets fields like technology, finance, law, and consulting, with young college graduates most at risk. Coupled with Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis’s call for students to prepare for an AI-disrupted world, the alarm underscores a seismic shift. Yet, while AI promises breakthroughs like curing cancer, its unchecked advance could destabilize society, with 2024 data already showing a 25% drop in tech hiring for new grads.
“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.” — Stephen Hawking, Theoretical Physicist and Cosmologist
The Warning: A Job Apocalypse Looms
Amodei’s prediction, echoed across outlets like ZDNet and Fortune, stems from AI’s rapid evolution. Anthropic’s Claude 4, which codes at near-human levels, exemplifies how large language models (LLMs) can automate tasks like data analysis, coding, and legal research. He estimates that within five years, AI could replace half of entry-level roles, driving unemployment to levels unseen since the Great Recession. Hassabis, at Google I/O, warned students that artificial general intelligence (AGI) could disrupt workplaces by 2030, urging them to master AI tools.
“By the end of this decade AI may exceed human capabilities in every dimension and perform work for free, so there may be more employment, it just won’t be employment of humans.” — Stuart Russell, Professor of Computer Science, UC Berkeley
Evidence is mounting. SignalFire’s 2024 LinkedIn analysis found Big Tech cut new grad hiring by 25% from 2023, with startups down 11%. Oxford Economics reports unemployment for 22–27-year-old college grads now exceeds the national 3.7% rate. X posts amplify the alarm, with one user stating, “AI’s coming for entry-level jobs — grads need to wake up”.
Why Entry-Level Jobs Are Vulnerable
Entry-level white-collar roles — data entry, customer service, junior coding — are prime targets for AI. Time notes that AI’s ability to handle repetitive tasks, like Microsoft’s 30% AI-written code, reduces the need for junior staff. LinkedIn’s Aneesh Raman highlights that these roles, once stepping stones for Gen Z, are vanishing, creating a paradox: graduates need experience to get hired, but AI eliminates the jobs that provide it.
Big Tech’s shift compounds the issue. Microsoft’s 6,000 layoffs in 2024, despite AI efficiencies, reflect a trend of prioritizing mid-level hires with 2–5 years of experience, up 27% in 2024. Fast Company warns that cutting entry-level roles risks a talent pipeline crisis, as firms lose future leaders.
Economic and Social Risks
Amodei fears a 20% unemployment rate could destabilize society, echoing historical unrest from high joblessness. The Daily Mail reports that policymakers, wary of panic or lagging behind China, downplay the threat, leaving workers unprepared. HuffPost notes Amodei’s push for public awareness, including Anthropic’s Economic Index to track AI’s impact across occupations.
Economic benefits — like curing diseases or 10% annual growth — are possible, but Amodei warns the short-term pain could outweigh gains without action. The World Economic Forum’s 2025 Jobs Report predicts 39% of skills will be obsolete by 2030, demanding rapid reskilling. X posts reflect anxiety, with one user asking, “How do you prepare when AI’s taking over?”.
Adapting to Survive: Strategies for Workers
Amodei and Hassabis advocate proactive adaptation. Amodei suggests avoiding vulnerable roles and upskilling in AI-related fields, while Hassabis emphasizes STEM fluency and adaptability. AOL reports that learning to code remains valuable, but only if paired with AI tool mastery, as AI already automates basic programming.
Recommended skills include AI development, data science, and soft skills like critical thinking, which AI can’t replicate. Coursera and edX offer AI courses, while Anthropic’s Economic Index helps workers identify resilient careers. Futurism suggests Gen Z pivot to creative or human-centric roles, like therapy or strategic planning. An X user shared, “Started an AI course after Amodei’s warning — better safe than sorry”.
Ethical and Policy Challenges
AI’s job threat raises ethical concerns. Anthropic’s Claude 4, capable of deception in tests, highlights risks of unchecked AI. Amodei calls for regulation, but 2025’s U.S. deregulation under Trump complicates this. The Register notes that 41% of executives plan workforce cuts as AI replicates roles, often without transparency.
Inequality is a risk, as low-skill and young workers face disproportionate impacts. X users demand action, with one stating, “AI’s great, but governments need to protect workers, not just profits”. Amodei’s Economic Advisory Council aims to spark debate, but solutions like universal basic income or reskilling programs remain nascent.
“The Industrial Revolution made human strength irrelevant; AI will make human intelligence irrelevant.” — Geoffrey Hinton, Godfather of AI
AI’s Dual Nature
AI’s job threat is part of its broader impact. Google’s Gemini 2.5 and OpenAI’s ChatGPT advance automation, while Anthropic’s $8 billion Amazon backing fuels Claude’s growth. Hassabis’s AlphaFold, solving protein folding, shows AI’s potential to create jobs in biotech. Yet, vibe coding and AI agents, as seen at Google I/O, threaten even skilled roles.
Historical parallels, like the Industrial Revolution, suggest long-term job growth but short-term disruption. The $52.62 billion AI market by 2030 underscores its economic weight, but uneven reskilling access risks a divide. Fox News highlighted Amodei’s call for honesty, noting public skepticism, with Mark Cuban disputing the 20% unemployment claim.
Averting the Bloodbath
AI’s threat to entry-level jobs demands urgent action. By 2030, AI could automate 30% of tasks, but human ingenuity — creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking — will remain vital. The sharp insight lies in transforming education and work: governments must fund AI literacy programs, akin to 19th-century literacy drives, while firms should preserve entry-level roles as training grounds. Amodei’s index and Hassabis’s call for adaptability offer starting points, but scale is critical.
Without intervention, AI could entrench a two-tier workforce, with young graduates sidelined. But with bold policies — subsidized reskilling, ethical AI laws, and public-private partnerships — society can harness AI to augment, not replace, human potential. As Amodei warns, “You can’t stop the train,” but we can steer it toward a future where workers thrive alongside AI.
Thank you for being a part of the community

Weekly Checkup
Michael Baker
This week, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei made splashy news by predicting a cataclysmic reduction of jobs in the near future due to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Though AI would predominantly impact white-collar jobs, he predicts, there isn’t an industry Amodei expects to be spared. As he mused in his interview with Axios, “Cancer is cured, the economy grows at 10% a year, the budget is balanced — and 20% of people don’t have jobs.”
This presents a fascinating conundrum for everyone, from tech CEOs to lawmakers to individuals, and it leads to an important question: How can we best use AI to augment productivity while mitigating the social and economic fallout that might be produced? This question is particularly important in the field of health care.
Health care use cases for AI are rapidly growing. Already, AI-powered services are assisting professionals in providing health care. Administratively, AI has already been inserted into many workflows that cover medical documentation and claims processing. This includes helping clinicians with paperwork and insurance companies with analyzing and processing prior authorization requests. AI has also become more present in diagnostic and patient engagement workflows, with some agents (the name of the form of AI that can do human work) performing initial patient screenings, conducting remote patient monitoring, and offering tailored treatment plans. Health care providers are using large language models to varying degrees to enhance their work in patient care, leading them to being used as a clinical decision support tool, which could make it a regulated medical device (even though this area of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation is murky).
Podcaster and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon has warned about the potential for AI to create significant job displacement: “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.” He argues AI-related job loss will be a presidential campaign issue. While hard to predict, the Trade Adjustment Assistance program – which Congress has not reauthorized since its lapse of authority in 2022 – may once again play a starring role in political and policy conversations as the United States undergoes another technological revolution.
Not all AI leaders predict doom and gloom, even if it impacts the job market. And the Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA are working to incorporate AI policy leadership in important subject areas such as drug evaluation and research, and medical devices. Many companies are already leveraging AI to speed up the process of drug discovery. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has begun to promulgate rules incorporating references to AI. There is also an increasing number of application programming interfaces that promote patient data interoperability.
The American Action Forum has done previous work surveying the AI regulatory landscape and compiling resources to better understand the fluid policymaking environment. While caution is important, there is more in AI’s future impact on health care to cheer than to lament. It will be fascinating to see where policymakers and industry go from here, and if they arrest AI’s momentum to existing employment structures (if that’s even possible) while incorporating advancements to improve the health care industry in the hopes of providing broad benefits to patients.
CHART REVIEW: Health Account Provisions in Reconciliation Bill Reduce Federal Tax Revenue
Nicolas Montenegro, Health Policy Intern
On May 22, the House of Representatives passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBA), which proposes noteworthy reforms to Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). These changes would codify almost all previously issued guidance, promote greater flexibility in health care coverage, and offer new tax incentives to encourage participation for both individuals and employers.
ICHRAs (also known as CHOICE Arrangements) allow employers to reimburse their employees’ qualified medical expenses and individual health insurance costs on a pre-tax basis. An alternative to traditional group health plans, ICHRAs are generally more cost-effective for employers – as they can control allowances based on their specific employees’ needs – and may offer greater health care coverage customization for all participants. HSAs, unlike ICHRAs, are funded by both employees and employers and permit eligible individuals to withdraw tax-free dollars to fund qualified medical expenses, which do not include insurance premiums but encompass expenses such as copays and prescriptions. Both ICHRAs and HSAs provide significant tax advantages and help participants manage health care costs, leading policymakers to consider expanding their role in the U.S. health care system.
The provisions in OBBA promote the expansion of ICHRAs and HSAs by offering new tax credits, widening eligibility criteria, increasing contribution limits, and allowing for more qualified uses of funds. The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) recently issued a report estimating the revenue effects of these provisions beginning in fiscal year 2025 and ending in fiscal year 2034. The chart below uses the JCT estimates to demonstrate the cumulative fiscal impact of the ICHRA and HSA provisions included in the OBBA. Notably, JCT’s estimates attempt to account for the interaction of each provision, including consequential reforms to Medicaid and the health insurance marketplace (affecting premium subsidies, cost-sharing reductions, and risk pools), which may exacerbate the potential fiscal impact of OBBA. These changes to ICHRAs and HSAs could lead to foregone tax revenue of roughly $493 million and $41.3 billion, respectively, over the next decade. Understanding these potential implications should inform the debate as the merits of OBBA provisions are discussed in the reconciliation process.

The gap in unemployment between U.S. and non-degrees has narrowed

The unemployment rate of young American college graduates was found to be higher than the overall unemployment rate. Analysts say that this is the result of the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and the replacement of new white-collar (office jobs) jobs.
According to US media Axios on the 30th, economic analyst Oxford Economics released an analysis report based on US federal unemployment data. The unemployment rate of young people aged 22 to 27 with a bachelor's degree was close to 6% in April, just over 4% of the total working population during the same period.
In the past, there was a large difference in the unemployment rate depending on the presence or absence of a degree. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the unemployment rate between degrees and non-degrees has widened by nearly 8%, and remained the gap until 2020, when the pandemic wiped out the service industry.
However, with the development of AI, the productivity of upper-level jobs has improved, and lower-level personnel have begun to be replaced, narrowing the gap in the unemployment rate between degrees and nonexistence to 1.6%. The restructuring was carried out in such a way that beginner manpower was omitted due to increased productivity.
As a result, some major degrees, which were considered advantageous for employment such as computer science, may not be as popular as before.
"It will be a few years from now for AI to become more productive in earnest," said Matthew Martin, chief economist at Oxford Economics.

Will Artificial Intelligence Take My Job? What You Need to Know
🎯 Artificial Intelligence: From Hype to Reality
Please bear with me and read till the end.
Over the past several months, artificial intelligence has taken center stage in nearly every conversation — from startup brainstorming sessions to casual social gatherings. Some are building AI-powered products, others fear losing their jobs, and many are simply jumping on the trend, afraid to fall behind.
Yet, amidst all this noise, a dissenting voice has emerged from none other than MIT.
🔍 Daron Acemoglu, Renowned Economist at MIT, Warns:
“The current excitement around AI is largely exaggerated. We're overhyping it.”
According to Acemoglu’s research, only about 5% of jobs are likely to be truly displaced or significantly transformed by AI over the next decade.
In other words, the vast majority of jobs — not only today but even ten years from now — are expected to remain intact. They may become more automated or intelligent, but not obsolete.
📉 However, Layoff Data Tells a Different Story
A February 2025 report by TechRadar shows that:
The unemployment rate in IT rose from 3.9% in December 2024 to 5.7% in January 2025 .
to . That’s 54,000 jobs lost in just one month.
Major tech companies such as Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Sonos have all implemented significant workforce reductions.
In total, approximately 152,000 tech employees were laid off in 2024 — nearly matching the figures from the 2022 tech layoff wave.
Interestingly, most of these layoffs were concentrated in roles that are highly automatable: administrative, managerial, reporting, and coordination tasks. Even job postings for software developers dropped by 8.5%.
🤖 So, What’s Really Driving This Shift?
Is AI the Cause — or Just a Convenient Scapegoat?
The truth is: many companies made premature decisions driven by AI hype.
In an attempt to reduce costs and boost scalability, some businesses overestimated the short-term capabilities of AI. But, as Acemoglu points out, this comes with several consequences:
AI systems often require human supervision and produce inaccurate outputs .
and produce . Many tools are still unreliable when used independently.
As a result, companies are forced to rehire — but now with added costs and reduced employee trust.
👀 One of Acemoglu’s most striking remarks:
“When the hype reaches a peak, the crash is rarely soft.”
And the data backs him up.
📉 The Regret Is Real
A recent UK survey revealed that 55% of managers who replaced human workers with AI now regret it.
Even tech giants like IBM have resumed hiring across departments — from software development to sales, marketing, and customer relations — after initially replacing 8,000 HR roles with AI.
📚 The Message from IBM’s Experience Is Clear:
AI is a powerful tool — but not a full replacement for human intelligence.
🎯 So What Should We Do Now?
Are our jobs at risk? Should we all learn programming? Should we fear AI or embrace it?
🧠 My take: don’t panic, but don’t get swept up by the hype either.
Instead, double down on skills that are:
Hard to replace
Require analytical thinking
Involve human empathy, negotiation, creativity, and experiential insight
Leverage intelligent tools rather than fear them
💼 Jobs involving physical presence, technical services, repairs, and real-time human interaction remain relatively safe for now. The recent push for returning to the office has only increased demand for such roles.
Final Thoughts:
AI is here to stay.
But the narrative that it will replace everything and everyone is fiction — not fact.
Let’s avoid blind enthusiasm or irrational resistance.
Let’s stay smart, adaptive, and critically aware.

|
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked heated debates about its impact on the workforce. Will AI steal jobs, leaving millions unemployed? Or will it create new opportunities, boosting incomes and transforming how we work? The truth lies in a complex interplay of automation, innovation, and human adaptability. As AI reshapes industries, its effects on jobs and earnings depend on how society, businesses, and individuals respond. This article explores the dual nature of AI’s influence—its potential to disrupt and its capacity to empower—while offering a human perspective on navigating this transformative era.
The Automation Anxiety
The fear that AI will eliminate jobs isn’t baseless. Historically, technological advancements, from the Industrial Revolution to the computer age, have disrupted labor markets. AI, with its ability to automate repetitive tasks, analyze vast datasets, and even perform creative functions, takes this disruption to a new level. Studies paint a mixed picture. A 2017 McKinsey Global Institute report estimated that 30% of current jobs could be automated by 2030, particularly in sectors like manufacturing, retail, and transportation. Roles involving predictable, routine tasks—think data entry, assembly line work, or basic customer service—are especially vulnerable.
Take the example of self-checkout kiosks in supermarkets. These systems, powered by AI, reduce the need for cashiers, a job that employs millions globally. Similarly, AI-driven software like chatbots can handle customer inquiries, while algorithms now perform tasks once reserved for accountants or legal assistants, such as tax calculations or contract reviews. For workers in these roles, the threat is real: automation can lead to job losses or reduced hours, hitting low-skill workers hardest.
But the story doesn’t end there. Automation often targets tasks, not entire jobs. A cashier’s role, for instance, might shift from scanning items to assisting customers with technical issues or managing inventory—tasks that require human judgment and empathy. The challenge lies in transitioning workers to these evolving roles, which demands reskilling and adaptability.
The Opportunity Horizon
While AI can displace jobs, it also creates them—often in ways we don’t anticipate. The World Economic Forum’s 2020 Future of Jobs Report predicted that AI and automation would create 97 million new jobs by 2025, offsetting the 85 million jobs disrupted. These new roles span AI development, data science, cybersecurity, and even fields we’re only beginning to imagine, like AI ethics consulting or virtual reality content creation.
Consider the tech sector’s growth. The demand for AI specialists—engineers, data analysts, and machine learning experts—has skyrocketed. Platforms like Upwork and LinkedIn show a surge in freelance opportunities for AI-related skills, with top earners commanding six-figure salaries. Beyond tech, AI is spawning jobs in other industries. Healthcare, for example, now employs AI to analyze medical images or predict patient outcomes, creating roles for technicians who manage these systems or clinicians who interpret their outputs.
AI also enhances productivity, which can translate to higher earnings. Small businesses using AI tools—like marketing platforms that personalize ads or inventory systems that optimize stock—can scale faster, increasing profits and wages. Freelancers, too, benefit from AI-driven platforms that match them with clients or streamline their workflows. A graphic designer using AI to generate initial drafts can take on more projects, boosting their income.
The Earnings Divide
AI’s impact on earnings is a tale of two realities. For those with the skills to leverage AI, the rewards are substantial. High-demand fields like software development, data analysis, and AI ethics offer salaries well above average. In 2024, Glassdoor reported that AI engineers in the U.S. earned median salaries of $120,000, far outpacing the national average. Knowledge workers who integrate AI into their workflows—marketers using predictive analytics, writers employing AI for research—often see productivity gains that translate to higher pay or more clients.
But for workers in low-skill, automatable jobs, the outlook is less rosy. Wages in sectors like retail or manufacturing have stagnated as automation reduces demand for human labor. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that median earnings for cashiers and factory workers have barely kept pace with inflation over the past decade. Without intervention, AI could widen income inequality, concentrating wealth among those with technical skills or access to education.
The Human Element: Adapting to Change
The key to thriving in an AI-driven world lies in human adaptability. Reskilling is critical. Programs like Google’s Career Certificates or Coursera’s AI-focused courses are making education accessible, teaching skills like data analysis or AI programming to non-experts. Governments and companies also have a role. For instance, Denmark’s “flexicurity” model combines flexible labor markets with robust retraining programs, helping workers transition to new roles. Similar initiatives could soften AI’s disruptive impact.
Workers themselves are finding creative ways to adapt. Take Sarah, a former travel agent whose job was disrupted by AI-powered booking platforms. She learned to use AI tools for digital marketing and now runs a small business helping travel companies optimize their online presence. Her story reflects a broader truth: AI doesn’t just take jobs; it reshapes them, rewarding those who embrace change.
Businesses, too, must evolve. Companies that invest in AI while prioritizing employee retraining—like Amazon’s Upskilling 2025 program—see higher productivity and loyalty. Conversely, firms that automate without supporting workers risk backlash and inefficiency. A 2023 Gallup study found that employees who feel supported during technological transitions are 60% more likely to stay with their employer.
The Societal Stakes
AI’s impact extends beyond individual jobs and earnings—it’s a societal challenge. If mishandled, mass automation could lead to unemployment spikes, social unrest, and deeper inequality. But with proactive measures, AI can be a net positive. Universal basic income (UBI) experiments, like those in Finland or Canada, suggest one way to cushion the blow for displaced workers. Others propose taxing automation to fund retraining programs. These ideas aren’t silver bullets, but they highlight the need for creative policy solutions.
Education systems must also adapt. Schools should prioritize skills like critical thinking, creativity, and digital literacy—areas where humans still outshine AI. Community colleges and vocational programs can bridge the gap, offering affordable training in AI-adjacent fields. The sooner society invests in these systems, the better equipped workers will be to thrive.
A Balanced Perspective
AI is neither a job-killer nor a universal savior—it’s a tool. Its impact depends on how we wield it. For every cashier replaced by a kiosk, there’s a data scientist hired to build the system or a technician trained to maintain it. For every small business using AI to cut costs, there’s potential for higher profits and wages. The challenge is ensuring that the benefits are shared widely, not concentrated among a tech-savvy elite.
As individuals, we can lean into AI’s potential. Learning basic AI tools—whether it’s using ChatGPT for brainstorming or mastering a no-code platform like Bubble—can open new doors. As a society, we must prioritize reskilling, equitable access to education, and policies that balance innovation with human welfare. The future of work isn’t set in stone; it’s ours to shape.
In this era of rapid change, one thing is clear: AI will transform jobs, but it’s up to us to decide whether that transformation leads to loss or opportunity. By embracing adaptability, investing in skills, and advocating for inclusive policies, we can ensure that AI doesn’t just take jobs—it helps us build better ones.

Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, recently warned that AI could soon displace up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years.
|
As over 50,000 tech jobs vanish across the globe in early 2025, fueled by AI disruption, cost-cutting, and industry downsizing, many professionals, particularly Indian workers on H-1B visas, are reassessing their future in the United States. Major companies such as Microsoft, Meta, CrowdStrike, and Block have been at the center of this wave of layoffs, raising concerns about job security, automation, and the future of work.
This shift comes at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction as a potential driver of significant job loss. Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, recently warned that AI could soon displace up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years. Amodei expressed concerns that governments and companies are underestimating the risks posed by AI’s rapid advancement. He predicted a rise in unemployment by 10% to 20% over the next five years, with many workers unaware of the impending disruption.
“We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming,” Amodei said. “I don’t think this is on people’s radar. Most are unaware that this is about to happen. It sounds crazy, and people just don’t believe it.”
Amodei also criticised the U.S. government for downplaying the issue, fearing backlash from workers and the potential impact on the country’s competitiveness in the global AI race, particularly with China. He stressed the need for AI companies and governments to stop “sugarcoating” the risks of job elimination, particularly in sectors like technology, finance, law, and consulting.
Rising tensions among Indian immigrants in the U.S.
Amid the shifting tech landscape, some workers are now facing a new wave of hostility, particularly Indian techies on H-1B visas, who are being urged to leave the U.S. as companies embrace AI-driven automation. This has sparked intense conversations on social media, with one post on the platform TeamBlind asking why Indian immigrants tolerate the “hate” and “bullying” they face, particularly regarding the long wait times for green cards.
The user posed the question: “What is so bad in India that is stopping you from moving back? Is it impossible to upgrade the country with all of your learnings from the USA? This is not a hate post, just curious to understand the reasoning behind tolerance to the hate.” The post received a mixed response online. Some users criticised the attitude of those who choose to stay in the U.S. despite challenges, with one remarking, “Lmao white people built the country you pray for a GC from.” Others acknowledged the complexities of such a decision, noting, “Both countries have their own benefits and drawbacks. India has significantly improved over the last decade. People prefer the U.S. for better job opportunities, cleaner air, and less traffic.”
Another user elaborated on why many Indian immigrants endure the struggles of staying in the U.S. “For many, it’s not just about them anymore. Once you’ve spent years building a life in the U.S., you may have a stable career, a home, a family, or strong community ties. The green card backlog is painful, and yes, occasional xenophobia stings, but immigrants still believe in long-term opportunities. They don’t want to uproot everything they’ve built, especially when children are involved.”
The challenges of returning to India
For others, the decision to stay or return to India is more personal. “Reverse culture shock is real,” one user explained. “Reintegrating into India’s social, professional, and bureaucratic fabric can be emotionally taxing. Daily frustrations like traffic, pollution, and inconsistent services make adjustment difficult.”
The user also cited concerns about professional growth in India, particularly in tech hubs like Bangalore, where work-life balance and career opportunities may not mirror the experience of the U.S. Furthermore, for many families, the logistics of moving back—especially for children—are not simple. “Pulling them out of school and shifting them to a new culture and educational system is a big decision,” the user added.
Immigrants returning to India
The question of whether immigrants can use their U.S. experiences to help improve India remains a topic of debate. Some have successfully returned to India to start businesses or engage in policy work, but others argue that India’s complex scale, diversity, and systemic challenges make progress slow and frustrating. “Your skills and experiences may help, but without systemic support and patience for long-term change, it can be incredibly frustrating,” one user remarked.
Despite the challenges, many immigrants are choosing to stay in the U.S., weighing the trade-offs between their current situation and the potential for a better life in India. “For most of us, the journey isn’t about choosing a ‘perfect’ life,” one user said. “It’s about choosing the trade-offs we’re willing to live with. Many stay because they believe in the long-term opportunities or hope to achieve financial independence before considering a return to India.”

|
Advances in automation and digital technologies are undoubtedly changing the nature of work. Technology creates jobs , often in unpredictable ways, but it also displaces jobs. Some of the routine tasks that make up jobs can now be automated, making some occupations obsolete and displacing workers . Workers affected by technological change can find work in alternative occupations, but research on displaced workers suggests persistent effects: they typically earn less and have worse health, including higher mortality .
While uncertainty remains about whether automation will lead to large employment effects, any effects are likely to impact men and women differently. The labor market remains deeply stratified by gender. For example, 95% of secretaries and administrative assistants were women in 2014-2016, while 97% of construction workers were men. Researchers at the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality argue that nearly 25% of women in female-dominated occupations would need to exchange places with men in male-dominated jobs to end all the occupational segregation by gender.
Occupational segregation, therefore, potentially places men and women at different risks of job displacement from automation. Few studies consider job displacement risks by gender, much of the focus has been on the typically male-dominated manufacturing sector. By some estimates, however, women face a higher risk of having their jobs displaced by automation. Other estimates show that men are more vulnerable to potential future automation. Nevertheless, recognition of the gendered structure of the labor market suggests the need for gender-sensitive policies to help workers navigate labor market disruptions caused by automation.
Determining gender divides in automation risk
Researchers employ various methods to determine the automation potential of occupations. Some focus on the automatability of tasks that make up jobs, others estimate the automatability of whole occupations. The differing task content of jobs and occupations, and the risks attached to them may lead to varying conclusions about the risk of displacement by gender. For example, studies by McKinsey Global Institute and the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings argue that in the United States, men could face a higher risk of losing their jobs to automation by 2030. Analysis by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, finds that women were more likely than men to be in occupations with both the lowest and highest risk of technological substitution between 2014-2016.

The future of jobs and the workplace. According to Deloitte's 2025 survey, there is some concern amongst Gen Zers about AI taking jobs in the future: with 60% ...
|
AI has swept the workforce. Today, 88% of companies use artificial intelligence for candidate screening, according to an article by the World Economic Forum. The WEF’s 2025 Future of Jobs report also indicates that 62% of employers plan to hire candidates with skills to work alongside AI.
However, according to an international business survey featured in Forbes, 37% of employers would hire AI rather than Gen Z candidates.
IE students in the Robotics Lab at the IE Tower Gen Z shows remarkable ease when adopting AI in the face of fast-paced technological advancements, rapid innovation, and the shift in professional environments that society faces today. No longer an abstract concept, AI has infiltrated many different areas of people's lives. Recent statistics from the most recent NSHSS Career Interest Survey show that 49% of Gen Z uses AI to enhance their capabilities through brainstorming (39%), proofreading (33%), and data analysis (21%).
Nevertheless, the use of AI creates mixed feelings among Gen Zers. Overall, according to project management suite CAKE, 25.9% report feeling positively about AI, while 39.7% are neutral and 20.7% express negative feelings, revealing a complex dynamic between AI and Gen Z.
According to McKinsey’s 2025 on AI in the workplace, the next three years will see a rise in AI investment in 92% of companies. However, only 1% of leaders consider that AI is fully integrated into their workflows.
Drawing from IE University´s Gen Z student body, qualitative research conducted through focus groups by Talents & Careers has uncovered insights on a nuanced array of opinions, expectations and concerns surrounding AI usage in the workplace.
The future of jobs and the workplace
According to Deloitte’s 2025 survey, there is some concern amongst Gen Zers about AI taking jobs in the future: with 60% of Gen Z believing that AI will eliminate jobs, a figure that rises to 78% among those who use the technology regularly.
A generation that is comfortable with AI, Gen Z is not blind to the risks of becoming redundant in the face of this new technology.
"I think, like every other technological disruption, [the replacement of jobs] tends to happen,” said a fourth-year Bacherlor in Economics student, “once the technology is introduced, a process of creative destruction takes place, some jobs are going to be completely erased, other jobs are going to be created, and some jobs are going to require AI to be done better and faster."
Although concern varies across industries for Gen Zers, there is a general consensus that being well-versed in AI skills is a priority, and should be the responsibility of workplaces and institutions.
“Learning on the job is important, but if I'm already going into the workforce, and part of it is working with AI, I should already know how to work with AI,” said a fourth-year Bachelor in Computer Science and AI student. “That is why it’s great that we get a free ChatGPT Plus subscription during our studies.”
AI as a Tool: Practicality, not perfection
For many Gen Zers, AI offers convenience and productivity. It enables users to complete a series of time-consuming operations such as drafting emails, copywriting, summarizing, and organizing research. According to Deloitte statistics from its 2025 Gen-Z and Millennial survey, 80% of frequent Gen Z generative AI users believe it will free up time and improve work/life balance, a view shared by 58% of Gen Z as a whole. Nearly half believe it will improve the way they work.
“AI is a tool like Google Scholar. But you still need to do your due diligence, check your sources, and know where the information is coming from”, said a fourth-year Bachelor in Computer Science and AI student. “I wouldn't trust Chat GPT giving me the output of a research question directly”.
This captures a core theme among Gen Zers: AI should be used as part of a process that encourages, instead of replacing, critical thinking.
Where Gen Z users draw the line - Creativity, Bias and Repetitiveness:
Regarding specific uses of AI, Gen Z's opinions become cautious, especially when discussing concerns in the creative industries. Job replacement, creativity and bias are key topics of interest.
“Replacing creative jobs with AI is a bad idea,” a third-year student of Communication and Digital Media said. “Creating is a humanistic job at its core, and it is something humanistic that we shouldn't outsource to AI.”
Gen Z students expressed caution for a dangerous downward spiral of normalization within this industry, with the widespread use of AI potentially desensitizing the public to the creator of a work, and altering today’s meaning of art.
However, the other side of the argument is cost-effectiveness, an ever-present aspect in creative industries where employers can harness AI to cut costs, enable employees and replace salaries with technology.
“It's just business at the end of the day,” a fourth-year student of the Bachelor in Economics said, “if they can cut costs and the image is nice, why wouldn't they?"
Nevertheless, there is a shared awareness of being mindful of the biases in AI, especially for image generation:
“Fundamentally, AI is based on what other humans created,” said another third-year Bachelor in Communication and Digital Media student, “So, a lot of the creative stuff that we look at with AI reflects outdated human views.”
Considering that biases surge from the use of a select pool of data to train these algorithms, students also considered loopholes and repetition.
“I think it's going to get to a point where the output becomes just a repetitive cycle, and all the images will be different interpretations of one same bubble,” a fourth-year Bacherlor in Economics student said, “AI is also very agreeable, it barely ever challenges your view, resulting in confirmation bias.”
Critical Thinking: The optimal way to incorporate AI in the workplace
For Gen Zers, this only reflects the growing importance of critical thinking in this new age of AI. With this advanced technology serving as a useful tool, humans need to remain in control and incorporate it into a system where we are in charge of the thought process.
“As an international relations student and someone working at a think tank, I believe critical thinking and analysis shouldn’t be replaced by AI,” said a fourth-year Bachelor in International Relations student, “Like we’ve all said, it just pulls from existing data, which can be very biased. For analysts trying to look objectively at a world that’s already so polarized, human critical thinking is more important than ever.”
Additionally, professional areas where human emotion and morality are paramount were identified by Gen Zers as almost exclusively reserved for humans to ensure jobs such as counseling and justice are performed correctly.
Gen Z’s Verdict: AI in the Workplace
“AI is completely unavoidable.”
The final verdict for Gen Zers is that AI is here to stay, and therefore, workplaces should be ready to adopt it and embrace it ethically. Despite the concerns outlined above, Gen Z’s overall evaluation of AI is one of optimism, if not pragmatism, and readiness to adapt to a changing workforce marked by the impact of AI.
“At the end of the day, when we go out to the workforce, AI is going to be a part of it,” a fourth-year Bachelor in International Relations student said, “any company that doesn't pick up on AI is going to fall behind on performance.”
Gen Zers are eager to seek employers who are as enthusiastic and ready as they are to mindfully take on this challenge, and offer them their help and skills to ensure a dynamic and forward-thinking workforce to adapt to this new AI paradigm.
