Graduates are seen as particularly vulnerable because entry-level jobs such as form-filling and basic data entry are strongly associated with the “drudge work” that AI systems – which perform tasks that typically have required human intelligence – could do instead.

Over the past two and a half years the availability of such positions has dropped by a third, and last month it was reported that graduates are facing the toughest UK job market since 2018.

The Guardian spoke to some of the UK’s biggest recruitment agencies and employment experts for their views on the impact of AI on current and future opportunities for those entering the jobs market. Here are six key takeaways from what they said:

Agents are already everywhere—and have been for many decades. Your thermostat is an agent: It automatically turns the heater on or off to keep your house at a specific temperature. So are antivirus software and Roombas. Like high-­frequency traders, which are programmed to buy or sell in response to market conditions, these agents are all built to carry out specific tasks by following prescribed rules. Even agents that are more sophisticated, such as Siri and self-driving cars, follow prewritten rules when performing many of their actions.

As AI matures, the availability of so-called “digital labor” is exploding, expanding the very definition of a qualified workforce. What was once the exclusive domain of human talent has now been joined by AI agents capable of handling many tasks once considered beyond the reach of automation—and as a result, according to Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, the total addressable market for digital labor could soon reach the trillions of dollars.  

The rise in unemployment has worried many economists as well as officials at the Federal Reserve because it could be an early sign of trouble for the economy. It suggests businesses are holding off on hiring new workers because of rampant uncertainty stemming from the Trump administration’s tariff increases, which could slow growth.

“Young people are bearing the brunt of a lot of economic uncertainty,” Brad Hersbein, senior economist at the Upjohn Institute, a labor-focused think tank, said. “The people that you often are most hesitant in hiring when economic conditions are uncertain are entry-level positions.”

As the Wall Street Journal reports, the company's latest tools, including its wildly hallucinating AI Overviews and chatbot-style AI Mode, are causing the traffic being sent to publishers to plummet as users no longer feel the need to click through to the actual source of information, cutting already-slammed journalists off from ad revenue and subscriptions.

July 2025... mark this date because everything you think you know about AI is about to become obsolete. OpenAI recently tweeted "It's wild watching people use chat GPT knowing what's coming they know something we don't until now." Today I'm breaking down the most comprehensive analysis of GPT5 you'll find anywhere release dates capabilities that will make GPT4 look like a calculator and why even the experts are terrified of what they've created hey if we haven't met...

En este episodio de Muévete, el programa del cooperativismo, conversamos con el experto en tecnología James Lynn sobre el auge de la inteligencia artificial (IA) y su integración en la vida cotidiana. Discutimos por qué hay tantos "expertos" en redes, cómo esta tecnología ha evolucionado desde los años 80, su aplicación en dispositivos móviles, gobiernos y servicios cotidianos. Además, exploramos el futuro cercano de la IA, como los teléfonos sin apps, gafas inteligentes, y el metaverso. Una charla esencial para entender cómo la IA está transformando nuestras vidas.

Right now, despite its ubiquity, AI is seen as anything but a normal technology. There is talk of AI systems that will soon merit the term “superintelligence,” and the former CEO of Google recently suggested we control AI models the way we control uranium and other nuclear weapons materials. Anthropic is dedicating time and money to study AI “welfare,” including what rights AI models may be entitled to. Meanwhile, such models are moving into disciplines that feel distinctly human, from making music to providing therapy.

I still hear this dismissive perspective a lot, particularly when I’m talking to academics in linguistics and philosophy. Many of the highest profile efforts to pop the AI bubble — like the recent Apple paper purporting to find that AIs can’t truly reason — linger on the claim that the models are just bullshit generators that are not getting much better and won’t get much better.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei tells CNN's Anderson Cooper that "we do need to raise the alarm" on the rise of AI and how it could cause mass unemployment.

Business leaders are at a crossroads with AI. On one path, there’s understandable skepticism: AI has been overhyped, and many initial investments haven’t delivered the promised returns. But the other path can lead to a transformative reality: AI is already boosting revenue and reshaping industries. Within the next 12 to 24 months, AI agents are expected to revolutionize how businesses operate, enabling companies to make strategic moves at a pace and magnitude previously unimaginable. Business models that rely on traditional scale can give way to those favoring agility and innovation.

The winners won’t prevail because of better technology. They’ll rethink the nature of work and what that means for the organization. These companies understand that, if scale now matters less, speed matters more and innovation matters most of all. AI leaders also know that the real advantage comes in being able to pick and choose the right agents for each requirement — whether they’re AI agent features embedded within enterprise applications, standalone AI agent applications, or highly specialized AI agents built inhouse. As they roll out more and more AI agents to perform more and more specialized tasks, they’ll use an AI agent operating system like PwC’s agent OS to orchestrate disparate agents into all-new workflows and processes. In this way, companies will be able to quickly and effectively scale AI while managing risk, cost and complexity.

Economists have tried to map that meteor’s blast radius. Goldman Sachs pegs the exposure at 300 million full-time positions in advanced economies, roughly one quarter of all work done today. The World Economic Forum’s latest Future of Jobs survey expects 83 million roles eliminated and 69 million created by 2030… still a net loss big enough to fill every job in Texas. No crystal ball is perfect, yet the direction is clear: routine cognitive labor is going the way of the elevator operator.

SHOCKING PREDICTION: Every single job will be automated by 2040 - and we’re 50 YEARS ahead of schedule.

I just got off Dr. Phil’s show (@TheDrPhilPodcast) where I told millions of viewers that ALL human jobs will be completely replaced by AI by 2040. People are calling me crazy. Others are calling me a prophet.

But here’s the research that proves I’m right…
What You’ll Discover:

• The Stanford Study: 2,700 AI researchers predict complete job automation (and why we’re decades ahead of schedule)
• The 2025 Automation Cliff: Which jobs disappear THIS YEAR (hint: if you work at a computer, watch out).
• My $1M Business Pivot: How I sold my company in 2021 because I saw this tsunami coming.
• The 70% Depression Rate: Why most people HATE their jobs anyway (Gallup’s shocking findings).
• My 1-Hour Work Week: How AI runs my entire business while I focus on what matters.
• The 4-Phase Timeline: Exactly when each industry gets automated (2025-2040).
• Survival Strategy: How to become the conductor, not the instrument

Agentic AI isn’t exactly new. Agentic AI is a complex, autonomous system that uses a mix of technologies to achieve goals without relying on constant human input. It learns, perceives, reasons, plans and even makes decisions by combining:

The true power of Agentic AI isn’t just in automation; it’s in augmentation. While other types of AI are excellent tools for specific tasks, Agentic AI is uniquely suited to augment the workforce more broadly. Agents can mimic human reasoning, interactions and decision-making to effectively work alongside human employees, rather than just supporting them. When we blend human creativity with AI’s analytical capabilities, we create a workforce that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

Artificial Intelligence, climate change and shifting geopolitics are changing the way we live and work. Creating new customer needs and preferences. Forging new markets. Enabling new business models. Attracting new competitors. And blurring the boundaries of sectors and industries.

It’s time to look for growth in new places. It’s time to explore new domains of growth—markets where companies work across sector boundaries to meet fundamental human needs. Like how we feed and care for ourselves, move, make and build things, and how we fuel and power it all.

Data on employment outcomes for new graduates and young workers.

AI Agents can make the workplace more productive when fine-tuned for different personality types, but human co-workers pay a price in lost socialization, ongoing research by MIT information technology specialists has found.

MIT researchers led by Sinan Aral, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management and Harang Ju, a Sloan postdoc associate, found that humans using AI raised their productivity by 60%—partly because those workers sent 23% fewer social messages.

Según Julia McCoy, dentro de dos o tres años podríamos experimentar entre un 20% a 40% de desempleo en todos los sectores laborales debido a la llegada de GPT-5. Los trabajos relacionadoc con negocios, finanzas, administración, oficinas, diseño gráfico, ventas, programación, desarrollo softwares y conductores de vehículos pesados tienen altos niveles de exposición a la IA. Cuando estos trabajos desaparezcan, no será gradualmente, sino de la noche a la mañana.

Lamentablemente, los gobiernos están mal preparados. Ahora, el dilema es si son o no son capaces de diseñar un mundo que sea bueno para todos los ciudadanos. Los expertos consultados han dicho que este cambio tecnológico es diferente, parece más rápido, parece más difícil de adaptar, es más amplio. No hablamos solo de una industria que se vio alterada durante una década. A diferencia de las revoluciones tecnológicas anteriores que duraron décadas, esta está ocurriendo en meses.

• Los editores de vídeo están siendo reemplazados por IA que crea contenido con calidad de Hollywood por $17.
• Diseñadores gráficos automatizados por sistemas que funcionan más rápido de lo humanamente posible.
• Camioneros reemplazados por vehículos autónomos que ya circulan por las carreteras de Texas.
• Los programadores y desarrolladores, están siendo reemplazadas por IA que codifica mejor que ellos.

Mucha más gente está más en negación que preparándose. La mayoría de los trabajadores creen que esto no les afectará. La mayoría de las empresas no se están planificando. La mayoría de los gobiernos no están preparados en absoluto, pero a los sistemas de IA no les importa nuestra preparación. Están mejorando según un cronograma que va más allá de la Ley de Moore, no de los plazos de adaptación humana. Cuando GPT5 se lance en julio, esperamos una IA de nivel de doctorado que pueda superar a los humanos en la mayoría de las tareas cognitivas, no en algunas tareas, en la mayoría de las tareas.

Gates introdujo el concepto de inteligencia gratuita, refiriéndose a sistemas de IA accesibles para todos, capaces de diagnosticar, enseñar y resolver tareas sin intervención humana. Esta tecnología podría aliviar la escasez de profesionales en áreas críticas como la salud y la educación. Por ejemplo, un tutor digital podría personalizar el aprendizaje de cada estudiante, identificar debilidades y adaptar el ritmo de enseñanza. En medicina, los sistemas de IA podrían realizar diagnósticos más precisos que muchos médicos, disponibles 24/7 y sin limitaciones geográ

We have moved beyond what we have labeled the Quiet Erosion, a period when AI incrementally absorbed routine tasks without dramatic layoffs. Today, the erosion is neither quiet nor gradual. We’re in a new phase—one characterized by what we’ve referred to as the Super-Exponential Effect, where AI-driven efficiency improvements compound rapidly, accelerating job displacement at unprecedented speed.

In an era marked by constant disruption—economic, political, technological—building a resilient and adaptable workforce has become a strategic imperative for employers. At the same time, as AI transforms industries and redefines roles, both established business leaders and budding entrepreneurs must learn to strike a balance between harnessing its potential and empowering their employees. A holistic, people-centric approach is the way forward—one that looks beyond mere technological capabilities to understand how AI can elevate the employee experience and shape the future of work.
