Foreign Media: Stanford Graduates Struggle to Find Jobs Due to Artificial Intelligence
The Stanford software engineering degree was once the "golden ticket" to enter the tech industry, but it has now lost value due to the rise of artificial intelligence. As AI programming tools surpass entry-level programmers, top tech companies no longer need a large number of new graduates, relying instead on a small number of senior engineers combined with AI to meet productivity needs.
Recent graduates are facing employment difficulties, and they can only turn to less competitive master's programs, non-top employers, or startup companies. Data shows that the employment rate of junior software developers aged 22 to 25 has dropped nearly 20% since the end of 2022.
Recent graduates say it is difficult for them to find jobs. When they enrolled, ChatGPT had not yet been released, but now the programming capabilities of artificial intelligence have surpassed most humans. Top tech companies no longer need so many new graduates. A professor of bioengineering at Stanford University said it is incredible that Stanford computer science graduates struggle to find entry-level jobs at top tech companies.
