If AI takes the junior jobs, who will become the experts?
According to the WEF, AI particularly disrupts entry-level roles with routine tasks, and the most exposed junior positions are far more likely to be affected. Professional succession is an increasingly important question.
Who is affected and how
- early-career professional
- Employers look for human skills and the ability to work alongside AI: that is what you need to demonstrate.
- HR professional
- Without redesigning entry-level tasks, the path to expertise may break.
- manager
- Without structured junior development, there will be no internal senior pipeline later.
