Fresher hiring in tech firms has dropped over 50 per cent
AI has reportedly replaced many junior roles in big tech companies
Companies are reportedly demanding AI skills in most new tech jobs
The job scene is changing fast for fresh graduates, especially in the tech sector. A new report reveals that top technology companies have cut down fresher hiring by more than half in the last few years. And much of this change is being driven by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
According to data shared by venture capital firm SignalFire, entry-level hiring in big tech firms has dropped by over 50 per cent since 2019. Earlier, fresh graduates made up about 15 per cent of new hires at these companies. That number has now fallen to just 7 per cent, as reported by TechCrunch

That is such an ugly word to use. "Minority", like you are saying they are less than you.

I would never use AI for a mental health therapist.
I'd never use a human. 99% of "mental health" "professionals" go into the field because they suffer from mental illness themselves and become interested in the field for that reason.
It's basically a meme amongst them.

LOL, wrong. I'm a nurse and you can bet that AI is happening in nursing
Yet you give no examples of how AI is replacing nurses...
AI might supplement what a nurse does but it won't replace a nurse.
Obviously.
This is what most people here don't seem to understand. Machinery didn't replace slavery/sharecroppers, it just made it where fewer were needed for any given situation.
So while A.I. won't completely replace most fields, it WILL replace about 95% of the jobs in an average field that will benefit from the A.I. and robotics.
A current example are fast food places replacing someone at a register, with a robot kiosk. There will still be a manager to attend to kiosk/customer troubles, but now there are several less workers needed to tend the front counter.
Will consumers be okay with that? Probably. I prefer human interaction and like to go to a restaurant with an owner who comes out to say hello or gets to know me or my favorite order. A robot isn't the same.
But if you're on a highway and just passing through, dealing with a robot at a fast food chain would be fine, I guess.

LOL when I pull up to McDonald's drive-thru (happens rarely) and they ask if I can order through the app. LOL no.
