AI’s Impact on Young Staff: PwC’s UK Boss Calls for Increased Office Time

The Impact of AI on Junior Staff Promotions

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the workplace, and its impact on the career paths of junior staff is becoming increasingly apparent. According to Kevin Ellis, the chair of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) UK, generative AI is now capable of performing tasks traditionally assigned to younger workers, thereby removing valuable training opportunities. Ellis highlighted this trend during an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He emphasized that the absence of these tasks necessitates a faster career progression for junior staff.
