Thailand's Tech Dreams Meet AI Reality: Young Workers Bear Brunt of Automation Revolution

news artificial intelligence

A seismic shift is quietly reshaping the global technology labor market, with Thailand’s ambitious digital transformation goals colliding headfirst with an artificial intelligence revolution that’s already eliminating entry-level opportunities for young professionals. Goldman Sachs economists have documented the first measurable impacts of generative AI on employment patterns, revealing that workers under 30 in technology fields are experiencing unprecedented displacement as companies discover they can automate tasks previously requiring human expertise. This trend arrives at a particularly challenging moment for Thailand, where government initiatives to build a digital economy depend heavily on cultivating local tech talent just as those pathways become increasingly automated.

news computer science

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is upending traditional career pathways for computer science graduates, with many recent degree holders finding themselves left out of a job market they were once promised would be future-proof. Data from major tech hubs and expert analysis indicate that AI’s swift adoption — especially in coding and routine white-collar roles — is fundamentally transforming the opportunities for new entrants in the technology sector, leading to historic increases in unemployment among educated youth. For Thai students and families investing heavily in STEM education, these developments offer both caution and critical lessons for adapting to the future of work.

Nearly Half of Gen Z Admits to Lying on Job Applications, New Survey Reveals

news social sciences

A new survey has caused ripples in the world of human resources, revealing that nearly half of Generation Z job seekers admit to lying on their job applications—a trend that marks a significant shift from previous generations and raises pressing questions for educators, employers, and policymakers both in Thailand and worldwide (Fox News; AOL).

The findings, derived from a fresh survey conducted in 2024, indicate that as much as 44% to 56% of Gen Z respondents confessed to either having lied or strongly considered lying during the hiring process (Resume Genius). Comparatively, only 37% of Baby Boomers admitted similar behavior, highlighting a widening generational gap in attitudes towards job application honesty. Millennials and Gen X also registered lower, at 50% and 40% respectively (Benefit News). This generational divergence has implications for trust, vetting procedures, and workplace culture that are now being debated across societies—including in Thailand, where Gen Z is rapidly ascending into the professional landscape.
