For anybody who’s looking for a job or afraid that AI will take away their livelihood, the news from a tech summit convened by The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> should depress you: expect even more restructuring due to AI.<\/p>\n

Several tech leaders at the Tuesday conference in New York City also talked about “reimagining workforces around skills and capabilities rather than mere head count,” according to the WSJ<\/em>. There may be fewer middle managers, and tech and human resources departments may even merge together.<\/p>\n

These all sound like euphemisms for fewer people getting hired in the future and employees being made redundant; indeed, companies may have to decide if they want to allocate money for engineers or just buy more GPUs for AI, according to conference speaker Apoorv Agrawal, a partner at investment firm Altimeter Capital.<\/p>\n

Already, businesses in America have shed more than 10,000 jobs<\/a> since the start of 2025 due to the introduction of AI into the workplace, amidst wider turmoil from a\u00a0tough job market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has crowed loudly<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>that jobs like customer service and support will be on the chopping block.\u00a0Other jobs that are potentially endangered from AI<\/a>\u00a0include software development and finance.<\/p>\n

News on the conference didn’t mention entry level hires, but there’s growing evidence that they’re under particular threat from AI.<\/p>\n

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell fretted earlier this week that AI has negatively impacted<\/a> the job market for new college graduates, for instance.<\/p>\n

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted<\/a> that half of all entry-level office jobs may be gone within five years and increase unemployment to 10 to 20 percent. (The irony is that his predictions comes as a warning to governments and companies to prepare for this situation, while he shills his AI model to potential customers.)<\/p>\n

But all these moves seem remarkably shortsighted, because AI tech doesn’t seem to be profitable<\/a> \u2014 and lots of businesses that do adopt AI end up abandoning those efforts<\/a>, which implies that these programs aren’t quite ready for prime time.<\/p>\n

Not to mention that companies lose out bigly if they don’t hire young people<\/a> for entry level jobs; failing to impart institutional knowledge to the next generation might bring short-term cost-cutting, but in a long term sense, the risks are formidable.<\/p>\n
