Video Description

Applying for jobs is tough. Click here to subscribe to our channel πŸ‘‰πŸ½ https://bbc.in/3VyyriM First you’ve got to find the adverts and openings, then there’s the mental energy and time required to put in an application - and that’s before you get to the nerve wracking interviews. But some of us are finding that process even harder than normal - putting in loads of applications and never hearing back. Some recent studies suggest that AI is a contributing factor, with younger workers being replaced by AI in some industries. Companies like Amazon and Duolingo have said using AI is going to lead to a reduction in their workforce. We hear some of your experiences in the current job market. BBC business reporter in New York, Nathalie Jimenez, explains which sectors are most affected by the adoption of generative AI - and what you can do to try to adapt. Plus Varun Mayya, a YouTuber and the founder of generative AI company Aeos, tells us what the situation is like in India - and how AI is changing how his company operates. 00:00 Coming up 00:19 Intro 01:15 Jobs AI is taking over 02:40 Why it’s harder to find a job 03:35 People impacted by AI while job hunting 06:23 Big companies and AI 08:10 AI and job interviews 09:40 AI’s impact in India 12:20 Advice for the future Watch more episodes from What in the World here πŸ‘‰πŸ½ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz_B0PFGIn4eMOlGZclzdcHmv7s8BFQE6 Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Chelsea Coates, Benita Barden and Julia Ross-Roy Video Journalist: Jem Westgate Editor: Verity Wilde ---------------- This is the official BBC World Service YouTube channel.
