International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) plans to triple its entry-level hiring in the US in 2026, despite concerns that AI reduces opportunities for early-career workers.

LaMoreaux emphasized that cutting entry-level hiring poses long-term risks by hindering the development of future mid-level managers.
