"You've likely seen the stories. Organizations are no longer hiring young professionals because they lack skills and can be replaced by AI (Burleigh, 2025). The robots are coming for everybody's jobs (Mesa, 2025). The skills needed to be successful at work have rapidly changed and will continue to do so (LinkedIn, 2025). It's harder than ever to get a job due to how AI has changed the application process through Application Tracking Systems, AI-generated resumes, and "easy apply" bots. And more."
"As with all new things, we simply do not have enough data yet on how AI is upending or already has upended our work and our lives. In fact, a piece published just this week notes that while there is a lot of fear about the perceived impacts of AI on the workplace, research by Yale University and Brookings "found little evidence that artificial intelligence has fundamentally transformed the workforce or reshaped the economy in the ways people assumed - at least not yet."
AI is altering work roles and the skills required for success, creating uncertainty about future job patterns. Research by Yale University and Brookings found little evidence that AI has yet fundamentally transformed the workforce or reshaped the economy, implying major disruption may still be forthcoming. Hiring practices have already changed through Applicant Tracking Systems, AI-generated resumes, and "easy apply" bots, making job access harder. Employees and managers both need to invest in skill development to remain relevant. The transition to AI should be treated as a change-management process. Effective managers prioritize developing human capabilities rather than merely managing AI tools.
