Workforce Impact (from employee side) Weekly AI News
September 15 - September 23, 2025This weekly update brings good news for workers worried about AI taking their jobs. New research shows that many scary predictions about AI replacing workers have not come true.
A study from Northeastern University in the United States found that 40% job loss predictions were wrong. The research shows that AI is changing how people work, not eliminating their jobs completely. Workers are learning new skills rather than losing their positions entirely.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that most businesses did not change their number of workers after adopting AI technology. About 78% of companies now use AI, but they are keeping their employees and teaching them to work with the new tools.
However, entry-level workers face the biggest challenges. A Stanford study found that new workers in fields like software development and customer service have seen job opportunities decrease. But there is hope - government retraining programs are helping displaced workers find new jobs, though the results vary.
The key message for workers is simple: AI is changing jobs, not destroying them. Companies are more likely to retrain their workers than fire them. Workers who learn to use AI tools alongside their existing skills are seeing the best outcomes. The future workplace will need people who can work well with AI, not be replaced by it.
