Applicants lament AI impact on job market; OpenAI offers assistance.

Last week, The Atlantic published a story titled “The Job Market Is Hell,” highlighting challenges faced by job seekers and hiring managers due to AI use in the application process. Reports show growing concerns about AI replacing jobs, with long-term unemployment at a post-pandemic high. OpenAI aims to launch an AI-powered hiring platform to help job seekers and employers, set to compete with LinkedIn in 2026. The platform will assist employers in finding AI-savvy employees and will also include an AI certification program to enhance job seekers’ skills. Despite concerns about AI causing job losses, OpenAI believes AI will create more opportunities than any other technology in history.
