AI TRENDS | GMAC Survey Finds One-Third of Employers Using AI to Replace Entry-Level Roles

A GMAC survey of corporate recruiters found that one-third of employers said they are using AI to replace entry-level positions. According to Odaily, the survey polled more than 600 recruiters worldwide, with over half recruiting for Fortune 100 or Fortune 500 companies. The data showed technology roles face the highest risk, with 40% of employers in the sector saying AI is replacing entry-level jobs, followed by manufacturing. The report also said the median starting salary expected for MBA graduates is projected to fall to $120,000 this year from $125,000 in 2025. Despite changes in the hiring market, employers reported continued strong demand for graduates with communication, problem-solving, and adaptability skills, alongside AI proficiency and technical capabilities.
