AI Impact on Junior Roles and Entry-Level Jobs
Experts agree that AI is not eliminating all junior positions but is pushing recent graduates to enhance their skills and demonstrate the uniquely human quality machines cannot replicate: judgment.
Case Study: Internship Experience
K Sudhiksha, a 23-year-old communications graduate, faced an unexpected end to her six-month public relations internship halfway through.
"I was spending most of my time running prompts on ChatGPT,"
she explained, highlighting that although the company officially cited restructuring as the reason, she suspected AI’s ability to perform her tasks was influential.
Her duties mostly involved using AI tools to draft press releases and summarize weekly news for clients. Despite AI speeding up her workflow, the experience felt creatively limiting.
"We were all encouraged to do it. I could do my tasks faster, but it also made me feel creatively stunted."
Sudhiksha had hoped for a more engaging role that would challenge her creativity and thinking. Three months into the internship, her position was declared redundant.
Implications for Entry-Level Workers
- AI handles simple, repetitive tasks quickly and affordably.
- Fresh graduates must develop judgment and creative skills to add value beyond AI capabilities.
- Employers may reduce roles reliant on tasks easily automated by AI.
Conclusion
AI’s rise reshapes junior roles, calling for a greater focus on human skills that machines cannot duplicate.
Author’s summary: AI accelerates routine work but demands that entry-level workers cultivate creativity and judgment, vital human traits machines cannot replace.
