AI adoption linked to 13% decline in jobs for young U.S. workers: study

Not sure what these guys are studying but can tell you in the real world - essentially zero AI rollout in accounting world for anything serious.

We've got access to some fancy enterprise copilot version, deep research, MS office integration and all that jazz. I use it diligently every day...to make me a summary of today's global news.

When I try to apply it to actual accounting work. It hallucinates left, right & center on stuff that can't be wrong. Millions and millions off. That's how you get the taxman to kick down your door. Even simple "are these two numbers the same" get false positives so often that it's impossible to trust. So now I've got a review tool that I can't trust the output of? It's like a programming language where the equality (==) symbol has a built in 20% random number generator and you're supposed to write mission critical code with it.

"...can tell you in the real world - essentially zero AI rollout in accounitng world for anything serious."

The jobs the reseearchers concluded were affected were "unregulated" ones where there are no college education or professional certification requirements, e.g.,

   receptionists
   translators
   software "engineers"

"Not sure what these guys are studying..."

Apparently, they studied payroll data from ADP on age, job title and headcount together with, who would have guessed, data from an AI company (Anthropic)
