Young people are creating innovation outside traditional corporate structures, forming loose affiliations to pursue meaningful goals such as curing diseases and building solutions for animals. Despite these ambitions, society has not prepared young people adequately for the AI transition. Companies are deploying AI primarily to improve efficiency, which is expected to eliminate many opening jobs and remove an important early career pathway. Corporate priorities often emphasize doing things better, cheaper, and faster rather than enabling breakthrough innovation. Early-career workers are already facing a cooling labor market, with higher unemployment among recent college graduates than the overall workforce, and early-career job postings declining.
"Look to young people, they're creating federations of meaning, they're trying to cure river blindness in these loose affiliations, they're creating walkways for animals,"
"We've sort of given the short end of the stick,"
"That's going to eliminate a lot of opening jobs,"
"It's going to eliminate a lot of that first staircase for young people, which is concerning."
