Is ChatGPT reducing entry-level jobs and junior roles for young graduates in the UAE and globally?

While generative AI tools like ChatGPT have indeed automated many entry-level tasks such as coding, document review, and customer support—leading to a global decline in junior roles by about one-third—the UAE stands out with a 70% rise in entry-level hiring in April 2025. Experts say the UAE’s proactive labour policies and sectoral growth in logistics, construction, retail, and hospitality are keeping opportunities open for fresh graduates. However, new entrants to the workforce must now focus on developing creative thinking, strategic problem-solving, and cross-functional skills to stay relevant. Do you think AI tools like ChatGPT are helping or hurting the career prospects of today’s graduates?
