AI is making college students change majors

College students are concerned about the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the job market.

As a result, 42% have considered switching their majors, and 16% actually went through with it, newly released data shows.

The news comes as evidence suggests that corporate AI adoption has a disproportionate impact on entry-level jobs.

Stanford University data from August 2025 tied AI in the workplace to a 13% drop in jobs for young American workers.
