Artificial intelligence is increasingly automating tasks traditionally assigned to junior professionals, raising concerns about how future workers will gain the experience needed to advance into senior roles, according to academic leaders at IE University in Spain as reported by BusinessWorld
The shift, which targets entry-level white-collar positions such as data analysis, document review, and basic research, could create a bottleneck where fewer workers develop the practical judgment required for higher-level roles.
IE University’s academics call for a rethinking of career development models, suggesting that organizations may need to deliberately redesign entry-level jobs to preserve opportunities for experiential learning.
