In a recent Newsweek feature, I discussed an alarming trend where 78% of employers are supposedly ready to swap young, vibrant talent for AI. This is a profoundly shortsighted, irresponsible, and dumb strategy. AI, for all its prowess, fails to capture the essence of human ingenuity and emotional intelligence. To that tech can replicate the nuanced, creative problem-solving or in the innate empathy of our newest workforce members is foolish. In the rush to automate, companies are overlooking a critical question: if human jobs are replaced by AI, who will have the purchasing power to afford their products? It's not unreasonable to think businesses are creating a paradox where technological advancements may lead to reduced economic engagement, especially when we don't have a suitable social safety net. #HumanvsAI #FutureofWork

“Gen Z are losing jobs they just got”. This is according to a study conducted in the USA by intelligent. It says 78% of 800 US managers are replacing recent Gen Z hires with AI. When asked to contribute to the article, I said: “while AI is a fantastic junior employee, where does your next generation of senior employees come from if you’re too reliant on AI? Senior employees have a combination of knowledge and experience. Knowledge can be taught, experience can’t”. Another thing we need to consider is AI is best used to compliment the workforce not replace it. It’s a tool, best weilded by a human. Here’s the article in full: https://lnkd.in/eqtNwpwt #ai #artificialintelligence #workplacematters

I had a great conversation with Kevin Delaney, Co-Founder of Charter which was also covered on TIME.com. Will there be entry-level roles in the future? My short answer was yes but #AI will change the definition of “entry-level” for “human” capital. Also it’s critically important to understand that the terms “Early Talent” .”Entry-Level” and “Young Workers” are NOT synonymous - a key reason why it’s so important to use real time, reliable, data, research and insights to design and implement talent acquisition strategies for today’s (and tomorrow’s) workforce. #TheFutureOfWork

AI’s Role in Shaping Future Careers The advancement of artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, is reshaping the labor market, offering both challenges and opportunities for job seekers. According to Indeed, the number of job postings containing the words “GenAI” or “Generative AI” was at <0.1% from 2020 to 2023. And then, from the early months of 2023 to October 2023, it has lifted to 0.6% across all job adverts — if those numbers sound small, they should still raise an eyebrow. The need for workers with GenAI skills is growing

Human Connection at the Heart of Technology "While #AI plays a crucial role in modernizing and personalizing the job search process, it’s the #humanconnection that truly makes the experience rewarding. With AI taking care of repetitive and time-consuming tasks, #HR professionals have more time to engage with you, understand your story, and support your aspirations.

Sharing an Interesting read - In the face of AI, the future of hiring isn't about what candidates know – it's about their ability to learn, adapt, and thrive in a constantly evolving world. For Students: this means highlighting your curiosity, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. Go beyond listing what you've done and show how you THINK and LEARN. For Employers: it's time to ditch the outdated checklist & look for potential, not just past credentials. Invest in soft skills – those are the skills that matter most in the long run. That's what we believe and what we are working towards in Kabel. This will help all of us tackle any challenges and create a future of work where everyone can thrive! #futureofwork #recruitment #hiring

Jobs are a series of repeated tasks. With the increasing power of AI, I wonder how many tasks within jobs will be automated in the next 3-5 years. This presents an opportunity to embrace new tasks and develop fresh skills. #AI #Automation #FutureOfWork #jobs #finance

It will feel like AI is replacing jobs. I believe AI will continuously cause the reshuffling of jobs. It is more important than ever for people to think of their careers in terms of their own businesses and think through where they add value in this ever-changing world.
Always something new in AI.
