AI is having ‘a significant and disproportionate’ effect on young workers’ job prospects, Stanford study finds -- Workers aged 22-25 in the most AI-exposed fields have seen a 13% relative decline in employment
Employment declines “are concentrated in occupations where AI is more likely to automate, rather than augment, human labor,” Stanford researchers said.
Since late 2022 when OpenAI launched ChatGPT and generative artificial intelligence became widespread, early-career workers aged 22-25 in the most AI-exposed fields have seen a 13% relative decline in employment, Stanford University researchers found. However, AI didn’t appear to touch workers with more experience or those in less exposed fields; their employment remained stable or grew from late 2022 through July 2025, according to the research, published Tuesday. While many have hypothesized about the effects widespread AI adoption would have on workers, “empirical evidence has struggled to keep pace with technological advancement, leaving many fundamental questions unanswered,” the researchers said.
