Will AI eliminate jobs—or change how we work? Technologists and economists disagree, and the available data doesn’t yet give a clear answer. Dr. Ryan Carpenter and Veronica Jijon join Ylli Bajraktari and Martijn Rasser on the President’s Tech Brief to discuss what we know about AI’s impact on employment, why graduates face a particularly difficult job market, and what companies risk when they stop hiring entry-level workers. Their central argument: uncertainty shouldn’t prevent preparation. Better data and support for workers can help us respond as the effects become clearer. Recorded October 6, 2026. The President’s Tech Brief is SCSP’s live show on technology and national security. Live Tuesdays & Thursdays at 12 PM ET.
