数据研究:AI已冲击美国年轻人就业,尤其是读计算机科学的学生

Core Insights - A recent study from Stanford University indicates that generative AI is significantly undermining the job prospects of young Americans, particularly in roles that are easily replaceable by AI, such as software development [1][3] - The research highlights a notable decline in employment for young programmers aged 22-25, with a nearly 20% drop in numbers since the peak at the end of 2022 [1][3] - The study utilizes detailed employment data from ADP, allowing for a more precise identification of AI's impact compared to government reports [2] Employment Trends - Employment growth in sectors most susceptible to AI replacement, such as software development and customer service, has slowed significantly since late 2022, with young workers being the most affected [3][4] - The decline in young software developers contrasts with stable or increasing numbers of older programmers, who possess skills less likely to be replaced by AI [3][4] Labor Market Paradox - The research presents a paradox in the labor market: if young individuals cannot gain entry-level experience due to AI automation, it raises concerns about who will succeed current experts in the future [5] Training and Opportunities - There is a call for more intentional training for young workers rather than relying on them to learn through experience [6] - Positive examples exist where AI acts as an assistant rather than a replacement, leading to increased job growth for young individuals in those sectors [6] - The study suggests that using AI to enhance human capabilities can create more job opportunities rather than lead to layoffs [6]
