💼 Is AI Taking Over Entry-Level Jobs? The Shift Gen Z Can’t Ignore

The rise of AI isn’t just changing how we work — it’s reshaping how we start our careers. From Big Tech to the influencer industry, entry-level opportunities are shrinking or evolving fast. Recent research suggests that tasks traditionally handled by junior employees are now being done by AI tools at lightning speed. So, what does this mean for new graduates and aspiring professionals?

📉 A Decline in Graduate Hiring Across Tech

SignalFire's recent analysis shows a sharp drop in hiring of new grads — 25% down in Big Tech and 11% in startups compared to 2023. While many factors may be at play, AI seems to be a major contributor. Entry-level tasks like coding, software installation, or basic research are increasingly automated by generative AI, making junior roles less essential. As companies prioritize experienced hires, recent grads are left in a catch-22: no job without experience, no experience without a job.

🤖 AI Is Restructuring White-Collar Entry Points

According to LinkedIn, AI is rapidly transforming industries like law, finance, tech, and retail. Routine work — document reviews, customer support, and even legal drafting — is being replaced or redefined. Since September 2022, unemployment for college grads has surged 30%. Gen Z, the newest wave of professionals, is feeling this impact hardest and showing the lowest career confidence of any generation.

📱 Influencers May Be Next in Line

It’s not just office jobs. In the world of digital content, AI is already replacing influencers. Experts warn that up to 80% of paid influencers could lose relevance due to hyper-realistic AI-generated content. Tools now produce short-form videos that look convincingly human — and brands are paying attention. The influencer dream job, once a Gen Z aspiration, might soon be out of reach.

🧠 A New Kind of Entry-Level Role Is Emerging

But all hope is not lost. Companies like KPMG and Macfarlanes are redesigning early-career roles by assigning more strategic responsibilities to juniors — supported by AI. At KPMG, fresh grads now handle tax projects; at Macfarlanes, they interpret complex contracts. The idea? Use AI to enhance—not replace—junior talent.

Academic institutions are responding too. Carnegie Mellon offers a bachelor’s in practical AI application, and a consortium backed by Intel and Microsoft is helping community colleges align AI education with job market needs.

🚀 Takeaway: Adapt Early or Be Left Behind

The entry-level career ladder isn’t disappearing — it’s evolving. Gen Z must be ready to meet the moment by learning how to work with AI, not compete against it. Mastering AI tools, staying agile, and seeking growth-focused roles are the new rules of the game. As Heather Doshay puts it: “AI won’t take your job if you’re the one who’s best at using it.”

💬 OpenAI Developments

Introducing Stargate UAE

OpenAI has announced Stargate UAE, its first international AI infrastructure project under the "OpenAI for Countries" initiative. Developed in partnership with G42, Oracle, NVIDIA, Cisco, and SoftBank, and coordinated with the U.S. government, the project includes a 1GW data center in Abu Dhabi, with 200MW expected to be operational by 2026. The UAE will also invest in U.S. Stargate infrastructure, reinforcing bilateral AI collaboration. Stargate UAE aims to provide AI services across sectors like healthcare and education, and will make the UAE the first country to enable nationwide access to ChatGPT. The facility is designed to serve up to half the world's population within a 2,000-mile radius.

Sam & Jony introduce io

OpenAI has acquired Jony Ive's hardware startup, io, for approximately $6.5 billion, marking its largest acquisition to date. This collaboration aims to develop innovative AI-powered consumer devices that transcend traditional interfaces like smartphones and laptops. Ive and his team at LoveFrom will lead design efforts across OpenAI, focusing on creating products that offer more intuitive and human-centric interactions with AI technologies. While specific product details remain undisclosed, both Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have expressed enthusiasm about crafting devices that redefine user experiences with AI.

🚀 Tech Industry Moves

At Computex 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a transformative vision positioning AI as essential global infrastructure, akin to electricity or the internet. He introduced the concept of “AI factories”—advanced data centers producing valuable outputs like tokens—and announced NVLink Fusion, a new architecture enabling seamless integration of third-party chips with NVIDIA GPUs. Key product launches included the DGX Spark, a compact AI supercomputer for developers, and the DGX Station, capable of running trillion-parameter models. Huang also revealed plans for a massive AI supercomputer in Taiwan, developed in partnership with Foxconn and the Taiwanese government, reinforcing Taiwan's pivotal role in the AI ecosystem. These initiatives underscore NVIDIA's commitment to leading the AI infrastructure revolution and fostering global collaboration

NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU set a new record by achieving over 1,000 tokens per second per user on Meta’s Llama 4 Maverick model using a DGX B200 system. This milestone was enabled by software and hardware optimizations, highlighting Blackwell’s superior speed and efficiency for large-scale AI deployments.

NVIDIA is launching an 800V HVDC power architecture to make AI data centers more efficient, reducing energy loss and maintenance costs. This system supports high-power racks and will roll out with Kyber systems by 2027, aiming to meet growing AI infrastructure demands.

Oracle has committed approximately $40 billion to purchase 400,000 of Nvidia's GB200 AI chips for a massive data center in Abilene, Texas, as part of the $500 billion Stargate project led by OpenAI and SoftBank. This facility, spanning 875 acres with eight buildings, is expected to deliver 1.2 gigawatts of power upon completion in mid-2026, making it one of the world's largest data centers. Oracle will lease the site for 15 years, providing computing power to OpenAI, which aims to reduce its reliance on Microsoft. The project is financed through $15 billion in debt and equity from Crusoe Energy Systems and Blue Owl Capital, with JPMorgan contributing $9.6 billion in loans. Stargate's global expansion includes plans for a 5GW data center in Abu Dhabi, further solidifying its role in advancing AI infrastructure worldwide.

Mistral AI has launched a new Agents API that enables developers to build customizable AI agents capable of executing Python code, generating images, performing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and conducting web searches. Powered by the proprietary Mistral Medium 3 model, the API includes built-in connectors for tasks like secure code execution, image creation via FLUX1.1, and accessing enterprise documents through Mistral Cloud. It also supports stateful conversations and dynamic orchestration of multiple agents, making it suitable for complex workflows in various sectors, including software development, finance, travel, and nutrition. This release marks a shift from Mistral's open-source roots to a proprietary model, offering enterprise-grade features with flexible pricing options.
