- The unemployment rate among college graduates has risen, with majors exposed to AI, including computer engineering design and architecture, among those affected.
- In addition, job growth across several white-collar sectors has been tepid, pointing to AI’s growing role in the workforce.
- Certain tech industries, including cloud, web search and computer systems design, stopped growing at the end of 2022, just after the release of ChatGPT.
I don’t know about you, but that JP is in the club that I don’t trust at all…
The bullshit continues. Ride that bubble, JPMorgan, you do that.
Many of these trends were happening before GPT, but it sounds better to say it’s because of AI and not shareholder value.
I work in tech for a large financial company (not JP Morgan) and they’ve invested heavily in AI and expect a return. But it’s a multi-pronged approach. More offshoring. Transitioning from internally maintained platforms to external SaaS solutions. More aggressively performance managing staff out of the company including older workers like myself. Setting expectations for those who will remain that they will be expected to use AI to work much faster with smaller teams.
So AI isn’t the sole cause. But it is accelerating the trends that were already happening.
If your workplace tries replacing your coworkers with AI, you should go on strike. If you don’t feel like you have the capacitor to go on strike, you should build it. Now.
I’m a contractor mechanic to a large stevedoring company and they have just hired an ai integration manager.
Rumours around the water cooler is no one likes her because she’s getting in the way of everything.
It has me concerned because if they start laying off workforce there office staff i might not be their preferred contractor anymore haha
