      In a working paper released earlier this month, economists Anders Humlum and Emilie Vestergaard looked at the labor market impact of AI chatbots on 11 occupations, covering 25,000 workers and 7,000 workplaces in Denmark in 2023 and 2024.

      Hmm, Denmark you say?

      Also Denmark,

      Denmark doesn’t have at-will employment. Employers may only terminate an employee with just cause and sufficient notice. Just cause can include financial reasons or employee misconduct.

      Actually, perhaps this points at a way forward… we should employment laws in the US that match those of Denmark.

      It’s in the fortune article:

      some of those few interviews have been with an AI agent instead of a human.
      “I feel super invisible,” K tells Fortune. “I feel unseen. I feel like I’m filtered out before a human is even in the chain.”

      That is, he’s getting fewer chances to establish a human-to-human connection to an interviewer, which is hurting his ability to get hired.
