Professor Berkeley warns: Graduates from prestigious universities will also have no choice of jobs! AI will eliminate half of entry-level positions in 5 years.

AI and outsourcing of human resources intermediaries are intertwined, and the recruitment of new talents in the technology field has decreased by 25% per year. Experts warn that half of grassroots white-collar jobs could disappear within five years. (Synopsis: AI eliminates bamboo engineers?

Science graduates are experiencing their coldest job season in a decade. According to the latest survey, large technology companies in the United States have 25% fewer fresh graduate recruitment places this year than in 2023, and even UC Berkeley computer science students no longer "graduate and get multiple offers". In previous years, Silicon Valley companies would grab people during graduation season, but now they press the pause button. UC Berkeley professor James O'Brien revealed that the proportion of students in the class who can get formal software jobs has dropped significantly this year. Graduates from non-prestigious universities are more often forced to invest their resumes in non-tech industries or to make a living. In the past, science graduates from famous schools in the United States were waiting to select the best from several job vacancies to report after graduation, but now this situation has been swept by AI, and even the halo of famous schools cannot be eaten. AI and manpower outsourcing double squeeze The main reason for the shrinkage of recruitment is the combination of generative AI and outsourcing strategies. Large language models have been able to write structured code, and the need for junior engineers with "hands-on keyboards" has plummeted. According to the Unity Connect report, outsourcing repetitive tasks to overseas teams equipped with AI tools can reduce costs by another 20%, further reducing the space for junior software engineers in the United States. In an interview with Tom's Hardware in May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could eliminate half of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years and increase the overall unemployment rate by 10-20%. The market is already showing signs: highly repetitive jobs such as financial analysis, customer service, and quality control have been replaced by generative AI tools. Can UBI (Universal Basic Income) save the world? In the face of the rapid evaporation of jobs, UC Berkeley professor James O'Brien admits that it is impractical to block human technology upgrades: "When machines can do their jobs faster, more accurately and cheaper, companies don't pay for people." He advocated discussing universal basic income (UBI). The approach is to shift the tax base to "new value created by AI" and return the tax to all citizens. Elon Musk and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman have also publicly supported the UBI concept. But critics worry that if funding is not properly sourced and distributed, UBI could widen the gap between rich and poor. Read more: Sam Altman sponsors tens of millions of magnesium for three years! The results of the "unconditional basic income" experiment are released, can Worldcoin's ideal be realized? Until the answer came in, the market gave graduates only two paths: to fill AI skills gaps quickly, or to accept a delayed career start. This deterioration in employment has spread from the United States to the world and will not stop anytime soon, but it has also forced companies and talent to redefine what "entry roles" are. Some people are squeezed out of the door, others rely on AI to seize new opportunities, and social animals will find a way out of life.
