How Companies Deploy AI Is Vital
This isn’t the first study to suggest that prospects for entry-level candidates are bleaker following the rapid deployment of AI.

There is certainly evidence of companies taking a heavy-handed approach to AI — Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently admitted to firing engineers who didn’t take on AI. However, an attitude that allows workers to use the technology to help them with their daily tasks, rather than replace them altogether, is surely the best way forward.
