By World Economic Forum & PwC

The World Economic Forum and PwC explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming entry-level work and early career pathways. While AI offers significant productivity gains, it also threatens traditional job access and necessitates a complete redesign of roles to prevent the loss of critical human skills. The report outlines a strategic framework for leaders to maintain robust talent pipelines by transitioning toward capability-based models of development. Additionally, it emphasizes the urgent need for educational alignment to ensure new workers are equipped for a rapidly evolving, technology-driven workplace. Ultimately, WEF and PwC argue that the future of economic mobility depends on proactive, human-centric choices in how AI is integrated into the workforce.
