Summary

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), artificial intelligence is reducing employment opportunities for entry-level professionals. In the United States, since late 2022, the number of entry-level vacancies in occupations highly exposed to AI has fallen by 16%. These roles typically involve routine textual, analytical, computational and administrative tasks. Similar trends have been observed in the United Kingdom and Sweden. AI is transforming the nature of work faster than education systems can adapt. At the same time, the impact of AI adoption on employment will depend not only on technological developments, but also on decisions taken by employers, educational institutions and governments. As immediate priorities, the WEF recommends incorporating entry-level recruitment into strategic workforce planning, redesigning work processes and establishing continuous cooperation between businesses and education systems.
