Entry-Level Jobs For Gen Z Are Disappearing

AI is fundamentally reshaping the job market for Gen Z, with experts warning that entry-level positions are the most affected. AI's proficiency at automating routine and repetitive tasks means that traditional junior roles are evolving and, in some cases, vanishing.

However, the situation is not entirely bleak.

​Newsweek asked a recent panel of experts to weigh in, and the consensus is leaning away from elimination and more in to a transformation.

The new landscape demands a shift in skills, valuing AI literacy, strategic thinking, and emotional intelligence over rote task completion.

As "digital natives," Gen Z is seen as uniquely equipped to adapt to this new era, leveraging AI as a tool for innovation.

While the path is still uncertain, the future will belong to those who can blend technical competence with durable human skills like critical reasoning and communication to lead with, and not just use, AI.

Notable Quotes

• "Entry-level jobs tend to involve routine, well-defined tasks—exactly the kind of work current AI systems are best suited to automate." - Professor Daniela Rus, Director of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT.
• "AI is rapidly reshaping entry-level jobs, automating repetitive tasks, streamlining workflows, and, in some cases, eliminating roles entirely." - Keri Mesropov, founder of Spring Talent Development.

On the changing nature of work:

• "Rather than eliminating the need for early-career professionals, AI shifts the nature of their contributions." - Professor Daniela Rus.
• This technological leap "also removes many of the formative, tacit-knowledge building experiences that previously shaped early career development." - Keri Mesropov.

On Gen Z's unique advantage:

• "The advantage Gen Z has is that they are digital natives. They are well-positioned to work alongside AI, not in opposition to it." - Professor Daniela Rus.
• "It's up to companies to be ready to figure out how to make use of kids who are so good at technology." - Professor Melissa Valentine, senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI.

On the path forward:

• The remaining jobs in five years will demand "more than technical talent... They'll require emotional intelligence, communication, adaptability and critical reasoning." - Keri Mesropov.
• "There's an optimistic path: if we rethink what early-career roles look like, we can design new kinds of 'onramps' that blend learning with production—such as AI-assisted engineering apprenticeships, project-based learning environments, and hybrid human-AI teams." - Professor Daniela Rus.

Openfabric.AI Launches Mainnet

Openfabric.ai is a platform that makes it easier for people and businesses to build, connect, and use AI tools without needing deep technical skills.

Think of it like this:

• AI marketplace + infrastructure layer: Openfabric lets developers create AI services (like chatbots, data analyzers, or image generators), and lets others plug into those services, kind of like apps in an app store. But instead of just downloading, users can mix and match them to create more powerful workflows.
• Low-code/no-code friendly: You don’t have to be a machine learning engineer to use it. You can build useful AI-powered tools visually, much like how Webflow lets people build websites without coding.
• Decentralized architecture: Unlike traditional platforms that run everything on one company’s servers, Openfabric is designed to run across a network of computers, aiming to be more open, secure, and resistant to big tech gatekeeping.
• Focus on interoperability: Different AI models, from different people or companies, can work together within the same environment, like puzzle pieces designed to click together.

In short:

Openfabric is trying to be the connective tissue between AI models, tools, and users, giving non-experts the power to build and deploy smart tools without reinventing the wheel.

🎯 Example: A Solo Marketing Consultant Using Openfabric.ai

Meet Jamie. Jamie runs a one-person marketing consultancy. She’s not a programmer, but she’s smart, creative, and constantly juggling client needs.

Here’s how she could use Openfabric.ai to streamline her work without hiring a dev team:

🔧 Step 1: Pick Prebuilt AI Tools

On Openfabric, Jamie browses available tools — like:

• A GPT-based content generator
• An SEO analyzer that evaluates website copy
• A social media scheduler plugin
• A branding sentiment scanner

These tools are built by other developers and made available on the platform — ready to plug and play.

⚙️ Step 2: Chain the Tools Together (No Code)

Jamie wants a simple workflow:
➡️ Client gives her a blog idea
➡️ AI generates the blog draft
➡️ AI checks it for SEO
➡️ AI turns key points into a LinkedIn post
➡️ AI schedules it to publish

Using Openfabric’s visual interface, she connects these tools like building blocks — each one handing off its output to the next. No coding. Just drag, drop, and configure inputs/outputs.

💸 Step 3: Save Time and Make Money

Now Jamie has a semi-automated content machine.

She can:

• Serve more clients faster
• Offer new AI-powered services (like auto-generated content calendars)
• Focus her energy on creative strategy instead of repetitive tasks

And if she ever wants to monetize her workflow, she could publish it to the Openfabric marketplace, where others could license or run it.

🧠 Why It Matters

Without writing a line of code, Jamie is using AI like a team of assistants.
Openfabric gives her:

• Access to powerful AI
• The ability to connect it to other tools
• A way to productize her own systems

It’s the difference between just using AI and actually deploying it.
