Recent layoffs across the technology sector have already left many graduates facing one of the most competitive job markets in years. Now, experts warn that artificial intelligence could remove another crucial stepping stone: the entry-level roles that traditionally helped young professionals gain experience, build confidence and develop the skills needed for long-term career success.
The concern extends beyond Big Tech. From consulting firms to technology companies, AI tools are increasingly taking over tasks once assigned to junior employees. While businesses argue that automation improves efficiency, critics fear it may weaken the traditional pathway that helped generations of graduates enter professional careers.
