AI vs Jobs I am a positive kind of guy. My default is to air on the positive side of things, sometimes to my detriment... I have been through a lot of advances in technology but possibly none as seismic as AI\Machine Learning but the evidence is pretty strong... Job Boards (b. c1997) were foretold as the nail in the coffin of recruitment businesses. Who would need recruiters if everybody had access to job boards? LinkedIn (b. 2003) it was suggested on a number of occasions that why would recruiters exist if everybody could get directly in touch with each other through LinkedIn. AI, reading some of the articles that have been written about AI, if they came from a point of fact, we all might as well give up now and go home, because what's the point. Nobody is going to have a job in 2025, let alone a career. Yes, jobs will change, some jobs will disappear. Since 2008, the number of recruitment companies in the UK, which were going to disappear in 2003, has grown of average by 27% year on year.

Which, surely, can only be a good thing. #ai #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #recruitment #staffing

Well said. AI won't be able to replace the very human relationships that are built within the recruitment industry, but it might streamline the process!
