Recent reports highlight growing challenges faced by computer science graduates in securing employment amid widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by major technology companies. According to data cited by The New York Times, the unemployment rate among U.S. computer science graduates aged 22 to 27 stands at 6.1%. The integration of AI tools is automating basic coding tasks, leading to layoffs and a shift in demand toward advanced skills such as custom large language model (LLM) fine-tuning. Major firms like Microsoft and Meta are increasingly relying on AI for code generation, with Microsoft reporting that 30% of its code is now AI-generated and Meta anticipating most of its Llama code to be AI-written within 18 months. In India, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) plans to cut over 12,000 mid- and senior-level roles as AI, data science, and cybersecurity skills become more critical. The rapid AI-driven transformation is prompting new graduates to seek employment outside traditional tech roles, including in sectors like fast food. Industry experts emphasize the need for reskilling strategies focused on high-level AI competencies to adapt to the evolving job market.
