AI is actively replacing IT workers, young people are beginning to understand this and act accordingly. Data from the National Student Center in the US shows that the number of undergraduate students in computer science in 2025 will decrease by 11%. Enrollment in programming (which focuses on programming skills rather than theory) fell by 26%. The Economist, using data from 13 universities, found that among IT students in the class of 2025, full-time employment rates fell from nearly 70% to 55% in three years (ie, since ChatGPT was published in 2022). Before that he was stable.
