AI is 'breaking' entry-level jobs that young workers need to launch careers, LinkedIn exec warns

As millions of students get ready to graduate this spring, their prospects for landing that first job that helps launch their careers is looking dimmer.

LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer, Aneesh Raman, said artificial intelligence is increasingly threatening the types of jobs that historically have served as stepping stones for young workers who are just beginning their careers.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate for college graduates has been rising faster than for other workers in past few years, Raman pointed out, though there isn’t definitive evidence yet that AI is the cause of the weak job market.

To fix entry-level work, Raman called for colleges to incorporate AI across their curricula and for companies to give junior roles higher-level tasks.

While he may be right, the future for young workers is tough. I think it's a waste that colleges have to incorporate AI into the curriculum.

This could be a solution for a while. But every time AI gets better, these kinds of job positions will eventually be replaced by AI. In the end they are only useful to help AI companies get richer.
