The report highlights that 20% of employers have adopted an 'automation-first' workforce strategy, expecting to recruit fewer graduates due to AI automating entry-level tasks. Candidates show a relatively high acceptance of AI, with 55% trusting its use alongside human oversight. However, concerns about job replacement persist, with 46% of employees worried about AI taking their roles. Despite the growing use of AI, only 25% of employees reported that their employers are investing in AI upskilling.
