New Study: Artificial Intelligence Is Coming For Your Job, Millennials

Artificial intelligence poses more of a threat to Millennial careers than to the older generations'. Research released by Gallup on Thursday indicates a collision between technology and "business as usual" is coming soon, and the fallout will be ugly, especially for Millennials. Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are among the most disruptive forces descending upon the workplace, says the Gallup report, and 37% of Millennials "are at high risk of having their job replaced by automation, compared with 32% of those in the two older generations." The discrepancy is because it's more likely that older, more experienced workers are generally the ones holding leadership and management positions, or jobs that require discretion and more complex problem solving, says Glassdoor.com's It's easier to replace workers early in their careers because they haven't accumulated as many job skills and the work is simple enough for AI or automation to take over.
