AI threatens entry-level jobs as university grads struggle to get hired
Australian workers are facing a major upheaval as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes a cheaper alternative to employing humans. While the full impact of AI is yet to be reflected in job ads or official employment statistics, both employers and employees warn the technology is already reshaping the nation's labour market. It took recent data science graduate Tien Hung Nguyen 30 applications and an internship to land his first full-time job. "I feel privileged to have secured this position. I'm going to give everything I've got," he says. Most of his friends are still looking for work — and he says artificial intelligence is a big reason why. "Since AI appeared, for example, a team might have needed three or four juniors and a senior. Now, it's one junior and AI," Mr Nguyen explains. In countries where AI is more advanced, such as the United States, lay-offs are speeding up. Amazon is the latest big employer to warn of looming job losses. There are also reports Microsoft is shaping up to clean out more staff whose tasks can be completed by AI. There are also worrying signs for young workers in the US, as the unemployment rate for recent college graduates nears 6 per cent. In Australia, the unemployment rate is holding steady at 4.1 per cent. However, the jobless rate for young people — which is typically higher than the overall rate — has risen slightly to 9.2 per cent. Economist Leonora Risse says youth unemployment is a key indicator. "Young people tend to be the group that experience the greatest volatility in the labour market," she warns. Mr Nguyen now works at an AI start-up, where much of the low-level admin work has already been handed over to machines. His employer, Julian Fayed, says the shift is accelerating. "Our technology is advancing, and our AI implementations are advancing at a rate that means that our headcount isn't really growing anymore," he says. "A lot of the lower-level tasks our team didn't enjoy doing, AI can now do 24 hours a day, seven days a week. "No sick days. That's the slightly dark joke." Beyond small tech start-ups, some of the country's biggest employers are also preparing for a leaner future. Telstra CEO Vicky Brady has been up-front at several public events about how advances in AI will result in job cuts. "We know that work is going to look very different in 2030 — and so will we," Ms Brady told a recent investor briefing. CBA boss Matt Comyn made similar comments when he appeared at the Australian Financial Review's AI summit in Sydney this month. "It's hard to make predictions," Mr Comyn said. "But I think in some areas, it's reasonable to say the workforce will be smaller." Dario Amodei — CEO of US-based AI company Anthropic — has warned that up to 50 per cent of entry-level white-collar jobs could disappear within five years. Aaron Matrljan from recruitment agency Aura agrees junior positions will be among the first to go. "Things that we would get juniors to be trained on — that would usually be a learning exercise for them — can now be done so much more cheaply and effectively by AI in a matter of seconds," he explains. Mr Matrljan says his professional services clients are all talking about AI. Mr Matrljan expects to see job cuts because of AI becoming more common within the next two years, and believes slower economic conditions will only speed up the take-up of technology. "The next intake of graduates is going to be really interesting, and firms are going to have to work out where they're gaining those efficiencies, where they're gaining the cost savings, and how many grads do we need, how many trainees do we need to do the tasks that AI can do now so much quicker." Businesses that don't adopt AI risk being left behind, particularly as the technology promises major productivity gains. The optimistic view of AI is that the technology won't replace human workers but instead allow them to take on higher-level tasks. "Productivity is about shifting our time away from the lowest value activities and the lowest value tasks that can be done by automation or AI or computers, and reallocating our time towards the most valuable uses, the most purposeful and meaningful uses," Dr Risse argues. Dr Risse said AI can be of huge benefit to workers if the transition is managed equitably. "If you have higher labour productivity, you have a case for a higher wage," she explains. Some jobs will inevitably be replaced by AI, particularly routine roles that are easier to automate because they follow predictable, repetitive patterns. The reality is, as Dr Risse says, some workers will need to find new jobs in new industries. "The care and community sector is growing, particularly as a result of the aging nation. We need humans. We need people in those sectors," she argues. "But for some people in areas like banking or finance, that can feel like a big leap." As AI advances, the question is no longer if it will dramatically change the workforce, but how quickly, and whether Australia's job market can adapt in time. Mr Fayed believes there'll always be white-collar jobs for the right candidate. However, landing a position is likely to become more competitive. His advice to students is blunt. "For anyone thinking about what to study — you absolutely should be considering whether your future role is at risk from AI," Mr Fayed said. "I do think this is going to be very, very disruptive." There's also a risk for companies that cut too deep — they could lose the pipeline of workers who would eventually move into mid-level and senior roles. "Firms are going to have to … work out where they're gaining those efficiencies, where they're gaining the cost savings … how many grads do we need, how many trainees do we need to do the tasks that AI can do now so much quicker," Mr Matrljan says. "What that's going lead to is the next two to four years it's going be really interesting to see, because there's not as many juniors coming through the ranks … have we lost a lot of knowledge at that level?"

Amazon boss announces it may need ‘fewer' employees in coming years as company explores AI
Amazon employees have had their biggest fears confirmed as the CEO announced an increased use of AI may result in 'fewer' workers needed in the company. In a message shared to Amazon employees this week, boss Andy Jassy stated AI is 'rapidly becoming reality,' as the company continues to invest in the technology. 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the country,' he said in the statement. Amazon is continuing to develop Generative AI to 'change the scope and speed at which we can innovate for customers,' and think 'strategically about how to improve customer experiences and invent new ones.' 'Today, we have over 1,000 Generative AI services and applications in progress or built,' Mr Jassy said. Despite the high number of AI systems, Mr Jassy said Amazon is still at the 'relative beginning' of its journey with AI, and encouraged employees to invest in the service. 'Those who embrace this change, become conversant in AI, help us build and improve our AI capabilities internally and deliver for customers, will be well-positioned to have high impact.' Frustrated employees have shared their thoughts in internal messages, revealed by Business Insider, claiming Mr Jassy has finally 'said the quiet part out loud.' 'There is nothing more motivating on a Tuesday than reading that your job will be replaced by AI in a few years,' one employee said. 'Our CEO doesn't seem to have a vision for the company other than 'do what we do today cheaper, and also AI will happen',' said another. Other staff said Amazon should look for more ways to work alongside AI, rather than using it to replace employees. 'We need to lead the change in reframing AI as partners (even teammates or colleagues) rather than AI as replacements or tools,' an employee said. It comes after popular language learning app Duolingo came under fire for announcing the platform would only hire new employees if they can prove work could not be automated with AI. 'We'll gradually stop using contractors to do work that AI can handle,' CEO Luis von Ahn said in a statement.

How AI and tax reform could drive a white-collar squeeze
With the eyes of the world rightly trained on Iran, Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy's warning to his employees about artificial intelligence's threat to their jobs feels like a bit of a sideshow. But in the long run, Jassy's gloomy prediction may turn out to be a deeply consequential moment for many Australians. Jassy's warning that Amazon will end up with a smaller workforce because of AI isn't necessarily new. The potential threat posed to white-collar jobs from the technology has been recognised by several Australian chief executives, including Telstra boss Vicki Brady and Commonwealth Bank's Matt Comyn. But there's a bigger shift already under way in the labour market that could compound the impact of AI.
