AI & entry-level job losses

"Newly updated research from Stanford University economists suggests AI seems to be causing significant entry-level job losses for younger workers in some fields, even as older workers appear largely unaffected so far. The researchers theorized that entry-level workers could be especially affected by AI’s impact on jobs that require heavily 'codified' knowledge—the kind of 'formal, standardized, documented knowledge that can be taught through education, textbooks, or written procedures.' That would contrast with jobs where AI mainly complements an experienced worker’s more 'tacit' knowledge, which is overwhelmingly 'acquired through practice, mentorship, and repeated exposure to real situations,' the researchers write." - Arstechnica
