CEOs Plan More Junior Role Cuts as AI Investments Miss Expectations

43% of CEOs plan to cut junior roles in the next two years, up from 17% last year. However, at the same time, only 27% say their AI investments have met expectations - down from 38%. Yet. The small group of companies that ARE seeing real AI ROI are actually more likely to hire juniors, not less paradoxically. We are still in the adoption phase. I strongly expect that this will change in the near future.
