Internship listings on platforms like LinkedIn now require one to two years of experience, impacting hopeful interns.
AI's rise has led to the paradox of entry-level positions demanding years of experience due to automation of routine tasks.
Up to 50% of entry-level white-collar roles may disappear in five years due to AI automation, leading companies to seek experienced interns who already know AI.
AI automation is reshaping roles, leading to potential job displacement, stress, and burnout among workers, highlighting the need for redefining internships, onboarding, mentorship, and investing in human-AI literacy.
