内容总结：

随着生成式人工智能加速进入企业运营，一场关于人才成长路径的深层变革正在发生。AI正逐步接手过去由初级员工承担的常规性工作，这让企业开始重新思考：当“边干边学”的入门级岗位被自动化取代，员工该如何积累经验、培养判断力，进而成长为高级人才？

这一矛盾在多个行业已经显现。Teikametrics首席财务官Brian Beaupre回忆，自己职业生涯头十年都在搭建财务模型、从数字中理解重大商业决策。如今，这些工作AI大多能完成。他担心的是，年轻员工可能因此错过那段“试错”的过程——而正是这种磨砺，让上一代人学会了识别错误答案。网络安全领域也面临类似局面。一项针对安全运营中心员工的调查显示，AI很可能削减部分初级岗位，同时为员工转向更具战略性的职位创造机会。这让雇主陷入两难：当原本提供经验积累的工作消失后，如何培养能胜任战略岗位的人才？

AI技能差距正在成为劳动力市场的新分水岭。普华永道对近5万名员工的调查发现，56%的人属于所谓“引擎室”群体——缺乏专业技能，且在学习AI方面进展有限。这些人中仅有一半对工作保障有信心，在普华永道划分的四类人群中，他们最不可能表示自己已准备好适应变化。薪酬差距可能进一步加剧这种分化。Payscale最新报告显示，61%的雇主因AI正在改写职位描述，但不到半数表示薪酬结构已同步调整。Payscale警告称，如果企业高薪招聘具备AI技能的新人，却不相应奖励掌握这些能力的现有员工，将埋下“留人定时炸弹”。

种种迹象表明，AI带来的不仅是岗位变化，更是企业人才培养模式的根本性挑战。多年来，企业职业阶梯依赖“在做中学”：初级员工承担较低层级任务，积累专业知识和判断力，逐步承担更多责任。如果AI开始接管更多早期职业任务，企业必须找到提供这种经验的新途径。一些公司已在尝试。Beaupre将经验丰富的员工与更熟悉AI的年轻员工配对：资深员工解释如何做出决策，年轻员工则帮助他们使用AI工具。目标是在AI直接交付成果的时代，保留那些可能消失的学习过程。但这一转型不会自动发生。如果企业削减初级工作却不创造替代性学习方式，最终可能发现，自己培养所需资深人才的机会越来越少。AI或许不会消灭企业职业阶梯，但可能抽走人们传统上用来攀爬的许多横档。

选择你的首批生成式AI应用场景

要开始使用生成式AI，首先应聚焦于那些能够改善人类信息体验的领域。

AI正在承担越来越多初级水平的工作，迫使企业重新思考：员工该如何获得晋升到高级职位所需的经验和判断力。

企业正指望AI来接手更多员工所做的工作。但其中一部分工作，恰恰也是员工学会如何做好本职工作的途径。

随着AI逐步介入传统上由初级员工处理的任务，这个问题正变得愈发突出。如果AI能更快、更便宜地完成常规工作，企业或许就不再需要那么多人来做这些事了。

但入门级工作还有另一个作用。它是员工积累经验、培养判断力，进而迈向更高职位的必经之路。

Teikametrics首席财务官Brian Beaupre在职业生涯的头十年里，一直在搭建财务模型、钻研重大商业决策背后的数字。如今，他说AI可以完成其中大部分工作。他担心的是，年轻员工可能会错过那种“摸索与挣扎”的过程——正是这个过程教会了前几代人如何辨别一个答案是错的。

网络安全领域可能也面临类似的转变。一项针对安全运营中心员工的调查发现，AI很可能会消灭部分入门级安全运营岗位，与此同时，它也为员工转向更具战略性的职位创造了机会。

这给雇主带来了一个难题：当曾经提供经验积累的那部分工作消失后，该如何培养员工胜任更具战略性的岗位？

AI技能也正在成为劳动力市场上的又一道分水岭。普华永道一项针对近5万名员工的新调查发现，56%的人属于该公司所称的“引擎室”群体——即缺乏专业技能、在AI学习方面也进展有限的员工。这些人中只有一半对自己的工作保障感到有信心，而在普华永道划分的四类人群中，他们也是最不可能表示自己已准备好适应变化的一类。

员工薪酬可能会进一步加剧这种分化。

Payscale最近的一份报告发现，61%的雇主正在因AI而改写职位描述，但不到一半的雇主表示其薪酬结构已跟上变化。Payscale警告称，如果公司为招募具备AI技能的人才而开出更高薪酬，却不相应奖励那些发展出这些能力的现有员工，就会埋下一颗“留人定时炸弹”。

综合来看，这些不仅仅是AI正在改变工作的迹象。它们指向了企业面临的一个更根本的问题：企业培养人才的方式必须改变。

多年来，企业内部的职业晋升阶梯一直依赖于员工“边做边学”。初级员工承担较低级别的任务，积累专业知识和判断力，再逐步承担更多责任。如果AI开始接手更多这类职业早期任务，企业可能不得不寻找其他方式来提供这些经验。

一些公司已经在尝试了。Beaupre正在将经验丰富的员工与更熟悉AI的新员工配对。资深员工讲解自己是如何做出决策的，年轻员工则帮助他们使用AI工具。这样做的目的是保留一部分学习过程——否则当AI直接交付完成的工作成果时，这些学习机会可能会消失。

但这种转变不会自动发生。如果企业取消了初级岗位的工作，却没有为员工创造替代的学习途径，最终可能会发现：培养未来所需的资深人才的机会越来越少。

AI或许不会消灭企业内部的职业晋升阶梯，但它可能会抽掉许多人们传统上用来向上攀登的踏板。

Choosing Your First Generative AI Use Cases
To get started with generative AI, first focus on areas that can improve human experiences with information.
AI is doing more junior-level work, forcing organizations to rethink how employees gain the experience and judgment they need to move into senior roles.
Companies are looking to AI to take on more of the work employees do. But some of that work is also how employees learn to do their jobs.
That's becoming a bigger issue as AI moves into tasks traditionally handled by junior employees. If AI can perform routine work faster or more cheaply, companies may need fewer people to do it.
But entry-level work has another purpose. It's how employees gain experience and develop judgment before moving into more senior roles.
Teikametrics CFO Brian Beaupre spent the first decade of his career building financial models and learning the numbers behind major business decisions. Today, he says AI can do much of that work. His concern is that younger employees could miss the struggle that taught previous generations how to recognize when an answer was wrong.
Cybersecurity may be facing a similar shift. A survey of security operations center employees found that AI is likely to eliminate some entry-level SOC roles, even as it creates opportunities for workers to move into more strategic positions.
That creates a challenge for employers: developing workers for more strategic jobs when some of the work that once provided that experience disappears.
AI skills are also becoming another dividing line in the workforce. A new PwC survey of nearly 50,000 workers found 56% fell into what the company called the “engine room,” employees who lack specialized skills and aren't far along in learning AI. Only half of those workers felt confident about their job security, and they were the least likely of the four groups PwC identified to say they felt ready to adapt.
Employee compensation could widen that divide.
A recent Payscale report found that 61% of employers are rewriting job descriptions because of AI, but fewer than half said their salary structures have kept pace. Payscale warned of a “retention time bomb” if companies pay more to recruit workers with AI skills without similarly rewarding existing employees who develop those capabilities.
Taken together, these aren't simply signs that AI is changing jobs. They point to a more fundamental issue for companies: how they develop people will have to change.
For years, the corporate career ladder has depended on employees learning by doing. Junior workers take on lower-level tasks, develop expertise and judgment and gradually assume more responsibility. If AI starts doing more of those early-career tasks, companies may have to find another way to provide that experience.
Some companies are already trying. Beaupre is pairing experienced employees with newer workers who are more comfortable with AI. Senior employees explain how they reached a decision, while younger employees help them work with AI tools. The goal is to preserve some of the learning that could otherwise disappear when AI delivers the finished work.
But that transition won't happen automatically. If companies eliminate junior-level work without creating alternative ways for employees to learn, they may end up with fewer opportunities to develop the experienced talent they will ultimately need.
AI may not eliminate the corporate career ladder, but it could take away many of the rungs people have traditionally used to climb it.
