OpenAI Says It's Making a Full Hollywood Movie Using AI

OpenAI has teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to create a feature-length animated movie made largely with artificial intelligence. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the purported goal of using AI tech on the movie is to speed up production while also saving costs — and, presumably, serving as a giant tech demo for movie execs everywhere. The film will invite comparisons to the early days of CGI-animated movies in the mid-1990s. Funded heavily by Apple cofounder Ste

Job mismatch and early career success

How does being over- or underqualified at the beginning of a worker's career affect skill acquisition, retention, and promotion? Despite the importance of mismatch for the labor market, self-selection into jobs has made estimating these effects difficult. We overcome endogeneity concerns in the context of the US Air Force, which allocates new enlistees to over 130 different jobs based, in part, on test scores. Using these test scores, we create simulated job assignments based on factors outside

AI will consume all of IT by 2030—but not all IT jobs, Gartner says

In five years, you won’t be able to spell IT without AI, Gartner predicted today. VP analysts Alicia Mullery and Daryl Plummer delivered the sentiment at their keynote address at Gartner’s IT Symposium in Gold Coast, Australia, as reported by The Register. Gartner believes that by 2030, all work performed by an IT department will involve the use of AI. That’s a progression from the 81 percent of IT work that’s done today without any use of AI, per Mullery. By 2030, not only will all IT work re

Tech Tanks in Latest Jobs Report As New States Try to Attract Them

Last week’s disappointing jobs report showed U.S. job growth stalled significantly in August, with just 22,000 new jobs added, and an unemployment rate that has risen to 4.3%. It was the worst August report since the pandemic and the market treated it accordingly, welcoming it for the potential rate cuts it may herald but wary of the slower growth it may portend. “The labor market is showing signs of cracking,” Heather Long, Navy Federal Credit Union senior economist, wrote in a note to invest

To Help Workers Losing Their Jobs to AI, OpenAI Is Launching a Jobs Platform Run By AI

First it peddled the poison, and now it's selling the cure. OpenAI announced that it's launching a new AI-powered jobs platform next year that will use AI to match employers with potential candidates. Called the OpenAI Jobs Platform, the initiative will put it in direct competition with job juggernauts like LinkedIn, which has also been experimenting with integrating the tech. It marks a new direction for the company, perhaps as it tries to maintain some semblance of its altruistic image. As i

Trump Admin Raids Hyundai Construction Site as US Manufacturing Jobs Keep Shrinking

Almost 500 people were detained Thursday in an immigration raid at a new Hyundai manufacturing complex in Georgia. The massive raid highlights growing tensions between President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policies, his tariff-fueled trade negotiations, and his promise to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. “This was the largest single-site enforcement operation in the history of Homeland Security Investigations,” said Steven Schrank, a special agent in charge of the agency’s Atlanta

US economy added just 22,000 jobs in August, unemployment highest in 4 yrs

Economy Job market See all topics Follow The US job market is stalling out. Job growth slowed to a crawl in August, and the unemployment rate rose to its highest level in nearly four years, indicating the US labor market is growing stagnant. The economy added just 22,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate rose to 4.3% from 4.2%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. August’s job report also included a downward revision to June, which showed the US economy lost 13,000 jobs that

OpenAI is building an AI jobs platform that could challenge Microsoft’s LinkedIn

Evidence that AI is destroying jobs for young people

In a moment with many important economic questions and fears, I continue to find this among the more interesting mysteries about the US economy in the long run: Is artificial intelligence already taking jobs from young people? If you’ve been casually following the debate over AI and its effect on young graduates’ employment, you could be excused for thinking that the answer to that question is “possibly,” or “definitely yes,” or “almost certainly no.” Confusing!

AI Can Probably Do Some of Your Work Tasks. That Doesn't Mean It Can Do Your Job

The executives behind big generative artificial intelligence companies are quick to claim their products will displace huge numbers of workers. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei made headlines in May by saying generative AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs in the next few years. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in April that he wants AI to be writing half of the company's code in the next year. And Americans believe it -- a recent Pew survey found 64% of Americans expect fewer jobs tha

Meet the Top 10 AI-Proof Jobs That Everyone Wants

AI is rapidly scaling in the workforce and creating fears of an employment crisis, as workers and people entering the workforce try to figure out if their career is on the chopping block. That quick pace is backed by emerging data. As a result, people are trying to find “AI-proof” jobs that can guarantee job security as companies around the world choose to automate tasks instead of hiring new workers. Although no study can definitively say which occupations are 100% AI-proof and which are doom

New Paper Finds Evidence That AI Is Already Killing the Job Market

If you're struggling to sort the AI hype from reality, you're not alone. The seemingly breakneck pace of AI development makes it tough to sort headlines from fantasy, with a constant flood of new products and incremental improvements to old ones combining into a rhetorical mess. Arguably the main economic risk of developing artificial intelligence — or its biggest draw, if you're a business owner trying to pad your bottom line — is the prospect of automating jobs. Whether or not AI is currentl

AI comes for the job market, security, and prosperity: The Debrief

I was struck by her pessimism, which she told me was shared by friends from California to Georgia to New Hampshire. In an already fragile world, one increasingly beset by climate change and the breakdown of the international order, AI looms in the background, threatening young people’s ability to secure a prosperous future. It’s an understandable concern. Just a few days before our drive, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was telling the US Federal Reserve’s board of governors that AI agents will leave ent

That post-grad software job might be harder to get, thanks to AI

Carol Yepes/Moment via Getty Images Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Entry-level jobs in fields susceptible to AI automation are seeing a decline. Workers 25 and under are witnessing the greatest decline in employment. Jobs are steady or growing in fields where AI augments (not automates) work. Entry-level software workers are feeling the brunt of the AI boom, according to the latest findings from three Stanford economists. A new paper evaluating

The Jobs AI Is Replacing the Fastest

The jobs most likely to be replaced by artificial intelligence all have one thing in common, a new study has found. The World Economic Forum studied business sectors globally and found that industries with loads of high-quality data could have AI adoption rates around 60-70%, but those with less or fragmented data thus far have seen less than 25% of their jobs taken over by AI. That means jobs with clear-cut data like finance, customer support, healthcare, interpreters, historians and writers

Apple has not destroyed Steve Jobs' vision for iPad

There’s been a lot of discussion since iPadOS 26 was introduced in June about how Apple has finally moved the iPad away from Steve Jobs’ original vision, transforming it from a simple content consumption device into something more computer-like. Some celebrate this evolution, falsely pointing to features like windowed apps and sophisticated multitasking as some sort of weak proof that Apple has successfully abandoned the constraints Jobs imposed. Even wrongly proclaiming that the company swore i

Apple Finally Destroyed Steve Jobs’ Vision of the iPad. Good

For years, Apple treated the idea of windows on the iPad as sacrilege. But with iPadOS 26 installed, today’s iPads are doing macOS cosplay, becoming touchscreen Macs in all but name. And here’s the thing: It’s actually pretty good. So how did we get here? When did this fundamental shift occur that killed off Steve Jobs’ vision of the iPad? When Jobs first revealed the iPad in 2010, it was pitched as a “third category” of device—something between a phone and a laptop. For that category to justif

California unemployment rises to 5.5%, worst in the U.S. as tech falters

A custodial worker vacuums inside an office building in San Francisco. California’s unemployment numbers continue to rise, partially because of a tough tech sector. Jessica Christian/S.F. Chronicle California’s unemployment rate rose to 5.5% in July, the highest among U.S. states, as tech and other office jobs showed more weakness and hiring remained sluggish, according to state data released Friday. The state added a net 15,000 jobs, pushing the unemployment rate up 0.1 percentage points from

The Real Reason You Haven’t Been Replaced by AI Yet

It’s the ticking time bomb in the global economy, and every CEO knows it: AI is already powerful enough to replace millions of jobs. So why haven’t the mass layoffs begun? The answer has little to do with technology and everything to do with fear. Corporate leaders are quietly waiting to see who will be the first to pull the trigger. My discussions about Generative AI reveal a stark generational divide. Most people under 35 are convinced that AI is a reality, not a gimmick, and that the displac

The computer science dream has become a nightmare

In Brief Well, the coding-equals-prosperity promise has officially collapsed. Fresh computer science graduates are facing unemployment rates of 6.1% to 7.5% — more than double what biology and art history majors are experiencing, according to a recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York study.

AI Is Making It Nearly Impossible to Find a Well-Paying Job. Is This the World We Want?

What jobs, exactly, is so-called "artificial intelligence" supposed to revolutionize, and for whose benefit? The answers to those rarely-asked questions have become increasingly clear in recent months, as the looming threat of AI automation appears to be taking a concrete toll on the workforce. The bombshell July jobs report has finally confirmed what many US workers have been feeling for months: it's almost impossible to find meaningful employment anymore. With just 73,000 nonfarm jobs added

Elon Musk Says AI Will Take All Our Jobs, Including His

It’s not the kind of reassurance people on edge about AI were hoping for. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and the world’s richest man, warned that no job is safe, not even his. Musk just issued the warning on X (formerly Twitter), the social network he owns, in response to a post praising OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The original message described how a cancer survivor used ChatGPT to challenge doctors’ opinions, advocate for herself, and make better treatment decisions. “This is bound to ruffle the medical indu

Former Google Exec Warns That If You Have a Good Job Now, You Should Be Terrified of AI

As CEOs continue to boast about laying off thousands while spending tens of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure, some execs are worried about getting the axe themselves. During a podcast appearance this week, Google's former chief business officer, Mo Gawdat, warned that AI could be poised to wipe out white-collar jobs, including cushy gigs like software developers and CEOs. Unsurprisingly, Gawdat had his own AI startup to plug as well, a three-person operation dedicated to providing a Re
