Companies around the world are making big changes because of artificial intelligence (AI) agents—computer programs that can work like team members. More than half of business leaders are planning to add these AI agents to their teams in 2026. However, this change is causing problems for young workers. While older workers with experience are doing okay, young people just starting their careers are having a harder time finding jobs. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and General Motors have already let workers go because AI can now do work that used to take teams of people months to complete. The good news is that wages for experienced workers in fields affected by AI are actually growing faster than average. Business leaders are learning that success is not just about adding AI—it requires strong leadership, good company culture, and helping workers learn new skills. The key question facing companies now is how to use AI to help workers do better work instead of just replacing them entirely.
