New college graduates this year face an especially daunting task — putting their degrees to work just as "generative" artificial intelligence technology like ChatGPT is beginning to change the American workplace.
"We are entering an entirely new economy, so the knowledge economy that we have been in for the last 50 years or so is on the way out, and a new economy is on the way in," Aneesh Raman, Chief Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn, told CBS MoneyWatch.
The impact of AI on Americans recently out of college is already visible across a range of industries and jobs, from technology and finance to media, legal fields and market research. As a result, for the first time unemployment among fresh grads recently surpassed the nation's overall jobless rate — a shift some experts attribute in part to the creeping influence of AI.
