“The number of new #EntryLevel UK jobs has dropped by almost a third since the launch of ChatGPT, figures suggest, as companies use artificial intelligence to cut back the size of their workforces.
#Vacancies for #graduate jobs, #apprenticeships, #internships and #JuniorJobs with *no degree requirement* have dropped 32% since the launch of the #AIChatbot in November 2022, research by the job search site Adzuna released on Monday has found. These entry-level jobs now account for 25% of the market in the #UK, down from 28.9% in 2022.
Businesses are increasingly using #AI as a route to improve efficiency and reduce staff numbers. This month the chief executive of #BT, #AllisonKirkby, said advances in AI could presage deeper job cuts at the #telecoms company, after it outlined plans two years ago to shed between 40,000 and 55,000 #workers.”
