Over 100 organizations, including major technology companies such as NVIDIA, Google, Adobe, IBM, and Microsoft, have pledged to enhance AI education across the United States. This initiative aims to provide students and teachers with access to AI courses, training, grants, and job opportunities, with particular efforts underway in California where Governor Gavin Newsom is launching a statewide program to integrate free, Big Tech-supported AI education into public high schools, community colleges, and the California State University system. Meanwhile, the rise of AI is disrupting the job market for entry-level tech roles, with many coding graduates facing layoffs or difficulty securing positions that once offered starting salaries around $165,000. Some affected graduates have resorted to taking jobs outside the tech sector, such as positions at Chipotle. This shift has also prompted discussions on how business schools might adapt curricula to prepare future leaders for an AI-automated workplace. Internationally, similar trends are observed, with young professionals in countries like Sweden competing against AI for jobs and needing to develop new skills to remain competitive.
