Have you heard the latest about AI replacing human jobs? A recent report by Challenger, Gray, and Christmas reveals that thousands of jobs are being lost each month due to the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence technologies. In July alone, over 10,000 jobs were lost, with AI being one of the top five reasons behind job losses this year.
The report highlights that the technology industry is being severely impacted, with over 89,000 job cuts announced since 2023, a 36% increase from last year. The firm also notes that the industry is being reshaped by the advancement of artificial intelligence and ongoing uncertainty surrounding work visas, contributing to workforce reductions.
The impact is most severe among younger job seekers, with entry-level corporate roles declining by 15% over the past year. The use of “AI” in job descriptions has also increased by 400% during the last two years.
It’s clear that AI is not just a trendy buzzword, but a reality that’s already affecting the job market. The question is, what does this mean for the future of work?
