Stanford research finds AI’s impact on jobs remains minimal, but young workers are taking the hit
A recent Stanford study indicates that the overall impact of generative AI on employment has been modest, particularly in white-collar jobs. However, young workers, especially those in entry-level positions, have experienced significant job losses. The research highlights a disparity where roles that AI automates are declining, while those that AI complements are stable or growing.
- ▪The study found that employment among early-career workers aged 22 to 25 in AI-exposed occupations declined by 13 to 16%.
- ▪Software developers in early-career cohorts faced employment reductions of nearly 20%.
- ▪Companies like Coinbase and Meta have cited AI developments as reasons for recent layoffs.
