The First Class of AI Natives Is Graduating. Offices Are Getting Ready.
SharkNinja is hiring 200 'AI-forward' grads, Salesforce 1,000 for 'hands-on, high-impact' roles, and 17% of employers are cutting junior hires entirely (up from 13%): the entry-level bifurcation is now firm-level data, not narrative. The buried cost: every grad fast-tracked past rotational grunt work is a senior judgment hole in 2030-2032. KPMG's gamified critical-thinking pivot for audit interns is the rare firm explicitly buying replacement apprenticeship infrastructure; most are buying velocity and writing the apprenticeship debt off the balance sheet.
AI Splits the American University in Two
Masko argues AI splits the university in two, and a study of 25,000 Chinese students shows why: homework scores rose with AI, then exam scores dropped significantly once the technology was removed. His fix is supervised, AI-free undergraduate assessment. Next to Apollo's 'great calculator', that makes unaided judgment the scarce input; my extension, not his, is that employers could then price a bachelor's that proves it separately from a research degree that proves amplification.
