Big companies are already dialing back on error-prone AI and it’s putting ‘human skills’ at a premium
Deutsche was called “AI Summer, which turned into ugly”, and there was definitely a war of hot words between the CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang and the CEO of anthropologist Amodei because of his prediction that artificial intelligence will hold half the jobs with Casablanca. The executives spent most of the summer commercial predictions about the number of jobs that will be lost, as the artificial intelligence transformed the workforce in a “fourth industrial revolution”.
But from the point of view of Labor Day, things seem completely different. The markets were shocked in late August from an unlikely place: a survey conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that 95 % of artificial intelligence pilots in large companies failed. This prompted a technique sale and spoke whether artificial intelligence is formed in the stock market bubble. Another piece of the mystery just fell into the vision: Statistical Office found that the adoption rates of artificial intelligence began to decline between major companies. After two years of quick experiences and experimental projects that have an address, many companies appear to re -evaluate the true value of the integration of artificial intelligence into their operations for a long time.
Kelly Monohn is the administrative director of the UpWork Research Institute, where it is connected to materials from the freelance market. In September, UpWork launched a new report on the most sought -after recruitment trends and skills. “What I see is happening is that humans return to the episode,” said Monahan luck. She said, “We actually see human skills in a premium.” “I think what people realize is the best artificial intelligence models still hallucinations from 10 % to 12 % of time.” We cannot necessarily overcome this statistical problem yet … I think what people see, and now that they have used the content that has been created from artificial intelligence, is that they need to examine facts. “Only a person can provide it.
The decline in artificial intelligence adoption numbers comes from business and expectations scanning (BTOS), which was conducted by the American Statistical Office every two weeks, which covers more than 1.2 million companies and picks up a unique and updated offer for technology adoption through different business sizes. The latest data, which is reflected in the mobile average in six stones, shows that the rate of artificial intelligence adoption between large-knowledge companies is among more than 250 employees-it decreased from the peak of 14 % earlier this year to 12 % in late summer 2025.
This reflection follows a sharp climb during the previous quarter, as the company’s great dependence jumped from 3.7 % in September 2023 to 5.7 % by December 2024, and reached 9.2 % in the second quarter of 2025. Medium -sized companies are still less likely to adopt AI, with a maximum of 4.8 %, while the smallest business, with one of the employees, is still reports of average Fixed.
The chief economist in the APOLLO Global Torsten Slok administration notes that one of the questions in the survey is whether business has used artificial intelligence tools such as machine learning, natural language processing, virtual agents, or sound recognition to help produce goods or services in the past two weeks. “The bottom line is that the census data every two weeks began to show a slowdown in the adoption of artificial intelligence of large companies,” Slok wrote in the daily newsletter on September 7.

This transformation is especially important given the huge role that large companies play in shaping technology trends through supply chains and labor markets. Just one year ago, “AI Gold Rush” witnessed that companies raced to integrate artificial intelligence solutions and automation solutions, which are fed by promises to provide dramatic costs and productivity breeds. Today, the narration is more careful – or even skeptical.
There is also a great concern about what artificial intelligence of jobs-especially at the entry level, has suggested that a unique study by Economists at Stanford University has suggested a major influence. The research, led by the leader of thought in artificial intelligence, Erik Bringgluhson, has revealed a 13 % drop in employment for workers in the field of early care, between the ages of 22 to 25 in the most suffering jobs since 2022. The Bank of America has indicated that the unemployment rate in the new graduates began before the employee rate in general began at the specified time.
Certainly, Monohn said in a separate statement and clarification offered luckShe believes that the rise of human skills is not just a reaction to the low adoption of artificial intelligence. She said: “Every major technological transformation has reshaped the skills mix by raising the value of the value chain,” she presented an example of how to not eliminate the ATMs for bank exchange, but it raised its role in the field of higher value services that require more personal skills and problem solving. She said artificial intelligence follows a similar pattern. “With the automation of certain tasks, the demand for distinctive human skills grows – governance, communication and contextual understanding.”
Education is struggling with artificial intelligence and human skills
Tell Stanford Professor and co -founder of Ai Jure Leskovec luck The arrival of GPT-3 3 years ago raised a kind of “existential crisis” on the campus, but “human experience is much more important than it was ever.” Leskovec students seem to realize this: They have asked to move from open book exams to the home to a hand -written model and a manual series, to test human knowledge without AI tools. Artificial intelligence called the strong and amazing tool “very incomplete” that students and professionals alike needs to learn how to use it “, and we need to be able to test that humans are able to use the tool and the ability to think about themselves.”
But are the schools to be correct for this moment, when artificial intelligence raises the tape when employment at the entry level? Monohn said that a major aspect of “human skills” that is estimated for a installment at the present time is “field experience”, or in other words, a person who has the skills and knowledge that you monitor when the artificial intelligence instrument is wrong. Just as students need to enter the labor market with this experience, they slip back. The elderly in high schools in the country has registered the worst degree of reading since 1992, with mathematics decreased as well. About a third of them had no basic reading skills, according to the national evaluation of educational progress. American universities have also witnessed a sharp decrease in the registration of foreign students, which reduces the size of a group of graduates for a long time to fill talent gaps in science, technology and medicine.
Leskovec and Monahan experience lined up with another study, by the Wharton School, most likely in the long term of how to operate artificial intelligence adoption. While the research is estimated that 40 % of the current work income may be exposed to automation through obstetric artificial intelligence, only 23 % of the actual tasks in these roles will be automatic. The study indicated the paper of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that dealt with the number of companies that will choose simply lack of interest in complete adoption – and found something like DIP revealed the Statistics Office.
Monohn said that she does not think that people are moving away from the use of artificial intelligence necessarily, but she is not sure that people are completely confident in the content created by artificial intelligence, and “this makes human evaluation necessary.” She added that this is the reason that the opening monthly employment report for UpWork showed in August a strong request to examine facts, translation and experience in the field as well as technical intelligence skills. “The data shows that companies do not give up artificial intelligence, but instead they associate them with unique manpower.”
