Artificial intelligence is changing jobs very quickly and for many young people starting their careers the effects are already being felt and not in a good way. Tools like ChatGPT are no longer just about the future; they are already deciding who gets hired and who gets left out. In a conversation with the BBC Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that jobs involving repetitive but slightly different tasks such as law consulting finance and administration could disappear within the next one to five years. “For example entry-level lawyers spend a lot of time reviewing documents. It’s repetitive but every case is a little different. That’s exactly the kind of work AI can now handle” he explained. Amodei also revealed that many business leaders quietly see AI as a way to reduce staff rather than just help them work better. “Honestly a lot of them want to cut costs by hiring fewer people” he said. This isn’t the first time he has raised the alarm. Back in May he told Axios that AI could wipe out nearly half of entry-level office jobs within five years which could push unemployment up to 10–20 per cent. He warned that both companies and governments are “sugarcoating” the scale of the disruption that workers will soon face. New Stanford study finds AI replacing young workers A new Stanford University study shows that artificial intelligence is already pushing out many entry-level workers. The research which analyzed payroll data from ADP covering 25 million employees found that since 2022 jobs for early-career workers in AI-heavy industries have dropped by 13%. The report cited by CBS News highlights that AI is taking over tasks that were once done by humans  and this shift is already visible in the job numbers. Two areas hit hardest are software engineering and customer service. Between late 2022 and July 2025 entry-level jobs in these fields fell by about 20%. At the same time the number of older more experienced workers in those roles actually increased.
