AI Alters Entry-Level Jobs, Demanding New Skills from Graduates
Experts agree that artificial intelligence (AI) is not eliminating all junior roles but is transforming them. New graduates must now demonstrate a uniquely human skill that machines cannot replicate: sound judgment.
Case Study: Internship Cut Short Due to AI Integration
Communications graduate K Sudhiksha, 23, experienced an abrupt end to her six-month public relations internship midway through. Although officially attributed to company restructuring, she believed AI played a major role.
"I was spending most of my time running prompts on ChatGPT. We were all encouraged to do it. I could do my tasks faster, but it also made me feel creatively stunted."
Having joined the PR firm in July to learn how to write press releases and pitch to the media, Sudhiksha found her tasks mainly involved using AI tools to draft media releases and summarize news for clients.
Despite instructions to verify the AI-generated content carefully, relying heavily on ChatGPT made her internship feel hollow. She had hoped for a more engaged, creative experience where she could develop her own skills.
Three months into the internship, her position was made redundant.
Summary
AI is reshaping entry-level jobs by automating routine tasks, requiring new graduates to advance their skills and focus on human judgment to stay relevant.
