Employers are increasingly open to hiring less qualified candidates who possess AI skills, reflecting a growing trend among Gen Z workers. Many young professionals, like Avalon Fenster, advocate for the advantages that AI can offer in leveling the playing field in careers. However, there are concerns regarding AI's effects on critical thinking and environmental implications. Some young people, like Katya Danziger, choose to distance themselves from AI tools due to their climate impact, indicating a complex relationship between the new technology and the values of its users.
"Even as a young person who is native to these tools, even as someone who advocates for them, I do have concerns over the way that it impacts our ability to think independently, formulate ideas, communicate ideas."
"I personally took a stand to not use AI because of the climate impact," says Katya Danziger, a 25-year-old computer science student and research assistant at Parsons.
