First you’ve got to find the adverts and openings, then there’s the mental energy and time required to put in an application - and that’s before you get to the nerve wracking interviews. But some of us are finding that process even harder than normal - putting in loads of applications and never hearing back. Some recent studies suggest that AI is a contributing factor, with younger workers being replaced by AI in some industries.

Companies like Amazon and Duolingo have said using AI is going to lead to a reduction in their workforce.

We hear some of your experiences in the current job market. BBC business reporter in New York, Nathalie Jimenez, explains which sectors are most affected by the adoption of generative AI - and what you can do to try to adapt. Plus Varun Mayya, a YouTuber and the founder of generative AI company Aeos, tells us what the situation is like in India - and how AI is changing how his company operates.
