The Guardian

'It is clear that something did happen to the software developer labour market last year,' said an expert. 'It is clear that something did happen to the software developer labour market last year,' said an expert. AI may be denting computer science graduates' job prospects, UK data shows AI may be warping the job prospects for students in the previously high-demand subjects of computer science and economics, according to a detailed look into the careers of recent UK graduates. Data obtained for the 2027 Guardian University Guide published on Saturday shows that coding and software development were the fastest-falling occupations for graduates last year, while employer demand for graduates in well-paid roles in financial categories such as economists and management consultants also declined. Experts said graduates looking to work in those areas might be the first to be directly affected by the application of AI, and confirm predictions that AI would disrupt the labour market through agents increasingly able to produce software and analysis quickly and efficiently.
