Stanford and ILO Study AI's Impact on Global Labor Market
What happened
Stanford and the International Labour Organization are studying the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market. A Stanford working paper found that U.S. workers aged 22 to 25 in AI-exposed occupations had 19% lower employment than their less-exposed peers, a gap mainly reflecting reduced hiring. The International Labour Organization previously estimated that one in four workers globally held an occupation with some exposure to generative AI.

Why it matters
The research highlights how AI is altering entry-level tasks, potentially requiring graduates to check or interpret AI-assisted work. The findings suggest AI exposure is linked to reduced hiring among young U.S. workers, while the ILO provides a broader view of global occupational exposure.
