In the U.S., immigration has gone from contributing over half of job creation in 2024 to near-absent in 2025 \u2013 weighing on potential growth and risking sectoral labor shortages, while offering a short-term offset against rising unemployment.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, AI may have the biggest impact. Current indications show that the new technology is pointing toward creating a K-shaped pattern on labor markets, with youth and mid-level white-collar workers most at risk. Early evidence shows pressure on younger and less experienced white-collar workers in routine cognitive tasks, while gains accrue to higher-skilled, AI-complementary roles. Since late 2022, higher AI adoption has been associated with larger increases in youth unemployment. AI may therefore appear first not as job loss but as fewer entry points, weaker wage growth, and sharper polarization.<\/p>\n<p>Over a longer horizon, the medium term impact of AI on labor markets will be \u201csubstantial,\u201d uneven across countries, and unprecedented in the scale of workforce reorganization required. Over the next 1 to 3 years, AI is expected to affect 23.3% of jobs across major economies, primarily through reorganization (10.4% of jobs), ahead of augmentation (5.3%) and outright displacement (7.6%). The share of jobs affected ranges from 28.7% in the U.S&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dcvelocity.com\/technology\/artificial-intelligence\/agent-washing-shows-risks-of-rush-to-agentic-ai\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAgent washing\u201d shows risks of rush to agentic AI https:\/\/www.dcvelocity.com\/technology\/artificial-intelligence\/agent-washing-shows-risks-of-rush-to-agentic-ai Publish Date: 2026-05-26 16:31:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":256217,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.dcvelocity.com\/media-library\/image-of-generic-digital-chart.png?id=66822181&width=1200&height=600&coordinates=40%2C0%2C40%2C0","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-256215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256215"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=256215"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256215\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":256218,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256215\/revisions\/256218"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
