Heads up, fam! A fresh Stanford study shows generative AI tools like ChatGPT are already reshaping entry-level roles in the US. Young pros aged 22–25 in AI-exposed jobs saw a 13% drop in employment since late 2022—ouch! 🔥
Here’s the lowdown:
- Software Devs: Jobs plunged nearly 20% for 22–25-year-olds, while older devs stayed steady or even grew. 💻
- Customer Service: Reps felt the squeeze as chatbots and AI assistants handle more routine queries. 🎧
- Health Aides & Nursing Assistants: Roles with less AI exposure actually posted growth, thanks to on-the-ground, human-centered care. ❤️🩹
So why the gap? AI shines at automating codified tasks—stuff you learn in school—while deep, experience-driven know-how still needs human smarts. 🧠
What’s next for young job-seekers?
- Level up your soft skills: communication, creativity and empathy are gold. ✨
- Learn to work with AI, not against it: think of it as your co-pilot for data analysis, content creation or customer insights. 📊
- Diversify into roles where human touch rules—design thinking, community management or UX research. 🔍
This AI wave is just getting started. Whether you’re in Bangalore, Jakarta or Manila, staying curious and adaptable will keep you ahead of the curve. Ready to ride the tech tide? 🌊
