That's the real question. Entry-level tasks were never just busywork. They built judgment through small mistakes nobody noticed. If AI skips that step, we need new ways for young people to practice before the stakes get high.
AI is changing what employers expect. Young people are being asked to demonstrate stronger professional judgement, higher levels of AI literacy & more advanced employability skills at the start of their careers. That presents a challenge not just for young people but for employers & policymakers.
