I don't think we're seeing it impact the availability and nature of entry-level positions just quite yet, but AI and automation will have an effect for sure. Likely timeframe of a more noticeable impact is still about a year away. The net take on this question is that for sure everything will be impacted by the growing impact of AI and automation across the board, not just entry-level positions.
