How AI may change work

This widget shows one simple idea: AI may be able to do many tasks, but companies adopt it slowly. As the sim runs, you can see how that delay may affect some jobs, new hiring, and other work signals. It is a simple demo, not a prediction.

Panel 1 | AI Use Gap

What AI can do is ahead of what companies use

The blue level starts high at about 94%. The red level starts much lower at about 33% and rises slowly over the 60-month sim.

What Is Happening

At first, AI ability is ahead of real use

This sim begins with a gap: AI may be able to do many tasks, but companies are not using it everywhere yet.

Panel 2 | Jobs Most Affected

Some jobs feel the change first

Blue bars show the full possible impact from report [1]. Warm bars show how much of that impact is happening right now as AI use grows.

Scene 4 | Worker Groups

New workers get squeezed first

Simple ViewEstimate Only

Report [1] gives a clearer signal for hiring than for age groups, so these bars are a simple example. Entry-level jobs shrink first because many beginner tasks are easier to help with or automate.

Panel 3 | Work Signals

Hiring may slow before unemployment rises a lot

The unemployment line stays small and bumpy. Entry-level hiring trends down as AI use rises. These are warning signs, not a full forecast.

Sim YearYear 1Current point in the 5-year sim

Unemployment Change+0.20 points

Start+0.20 points

This line stays in a small range. In this sim, that means unemployment changes only a little.

Entry-Level Hiring2.00%

Start2.00%

Hiring starts at 2.0% a month and slowly falls as AI use rises. It does not drop all at once.
