The New York Times Magazine covered its effects on careers, widespread use, and impact on historical research and storytelling.In its special June 2025 issue on artificial intelligence,
AI and careers
A.I. Might Take Your Job. Here Are 22 New Ones It Could Give You (June 17, 2025): The magazine explored how AI will disrupt the job market, displacing nine million jobs over the next five years but creating an estimated 11 million new jobs by 2030. The new roles are predicted to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and human needs in areas like integration, trust, and taste.
For Some Recent Graduates, the A.I. Job Apocalypse May Have Already Arrived (May 30, 2025): This article examined the particular challenges facing recent college graduates, whose entry-level positions in technical fields like computer science and finance are often the most exposed to automation. The piece cited data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York showing a “noticeably” deteriorating job market for new graduates.
21 Ways People Are Using A.I. at Work (August 11, 2025): The Times published an interactive feature detailing how AI is being used in various jobs, from improving government call center efficiency to inspiring visual artists by training models on their past work.
The prevalence of AI
Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything. Is That Bad? (June 16, 2025): This piece featured hosts of the Times podcast Hard Fork discussing the rapid adoption of AI tools. They noted that AI companies’ revenues were doubling year over year, showing that the technology is moving out of the experimental stage and into practical application.
A.I. May Be Just Kind of Ordinary (August 20, 2025): The magazine reported that AI use has seen “remarkable uptake,” citing surveys showing that over half of Americans have already used an AI tool. This is a level of adoption that took the internet years to reach.
Companies Are Pouring Billions Into A.I. It Has Yet to Pay Off (August 13, 2025): Despite the high adoption and investment, this article discussed the slow commercial return on investment for businesses. According to research from McKinsey, nearly eight in ten companies use generative AI, but just as many report no significant bottom-line impact yet.
AI and historical research and storytelling
A.I. Is Poised to Rewrite History. Literally (June 16, 2025): This article explored AI’s potential to transform how historians conduct research by analyzing and summarizing vast quantities of text and data. It raised questions about how this could reshape the stories and narratives historians tell about the past.
A.I. May Be the Future, but First It Has to Study Ancient Roman Inscriptions (July 23, 2025): Highlighting a specific use case, this piece detailed how Google’s DeepMind used an AI model called Aeneas to analyze ancient Latin inscriptions. By identifying the social context of these texts, the AI is helping historians solve complex “jigsaw puzzles” of past information.
I’m a Screenwriter. Is It All Right if I Use A.I.? (October 4, 2025): In this piece, a screenwriter considers the ethical use of AI as a creative tool. The author argues that AI is a helpful assistant but not a replacement, particularly when it comes to creating suspense and constructing emotionally complex story arcs.
He Has Months Left. His Son Hopes an A.I. Version of Him Can Live On (June 17, 2025): This personal story chronicled a family’s decision to create a virtual avatar of a dying father. It explored the new, intimate forms of storytelling that AI allows, blurring the lines between memory, technology, and legacy.— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Oct 4, 2025

A June 2025 special issue of The New York Times Magazine featured several pieces on artificial intelligence, covering its effects on careers, prevalence of use, and impact on historical research and storytelling. Other articles later in the year continued to expand on these topics. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
AI and careers • New job categories: While some jobs may be displaced, AI is also creating new ones, particularly in areas where human skills are still needed.• An article titled “22 New Jobs A.I. Could Give You” explored roles that bridge AI’s capabilities with human needs for trust, integration, and taste.
• Vulnerability of new graduates: A May 2025 article noted that recent college graduates were facing a tough job market in technical fields, partly due to AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot automating certain tasks. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported that unemployment was concentrated in fields like computer science.
• Shift in skill requirements: A report cited by LinkedIn’s chief economic opportunity officer indicated that 70% of the skills in the average job will have changed by 2030, influenced by emerging technologies like AI.
• Hiring challenges: With AI-generated résumés on the rise, employers are facing new challenges in hiring. The European Union has also classified AI use in hiring as a high-risk activity. [4, 6, 7, 8, 9]The prevalence of AI • Widespread adoption: A segment from The Times’ Hard Fork podcast, republished in the magazine, noted the rapidly increasing use of AI tools by individuals for various tasks. One host described feeling like a median user instead of an early adopter.
• A tool for work and life: An August 2025 article, “21 Ways People Are Using A.I. at Work,” provided examples of AI usage across professions. This included chefs creating recipes, doctors analyzing medical scans, and scientists making discoveries.
• Corporate impact: While nearly eight in 10 businesses have experimented with generative AI, a September 2025 piece reported that many have not yet seen a “significant bottom-line impact,” suggesting that widespread corporate integration may take more time. [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]AI and history • A tool for historians: In a June 2025 article, “A.I. Is Poised to Rewrite History. Literally.,” the magazine explored how AI’s ability to parse and summarize vast datasets could reshape historical scholarship.
• Assessing ancient texts: A July 2025 article detailed how a DeepMind AI model helped date an ancient Roman text, demonstrating AI’s ability to link fragmented information to historical contexts.
• Potential for bias: The magazine also addressed the risk that the stories historians tell could be influenced by those who win the “AI race” and shape the development of these tools. [4, 15, 16, 17, 18]AI and storytelling • The future of film: In an October 2025 opinion piece, the question of AI’s role in Hollywood was addressed. Microsoft scientist Jaron Lanier warned against allowing simulations to dominate, arguing it could lead to societal dysfunction.
• Enduring after death: The magazine included a moving personal story about a family’s decision to create an AI avatar of a terminally ill man so they could continue to talk to a virtual version of him after his death.
• An aid for writers: An article from late 2023 explored how AI could serve as an inspirational tool for writers, functioning as a “predigital large language model” for literary creation.
• Journalistic applications: The New York Times also outlined its own principles for using AI in journalism, which includes using it for tasks like data analysis in investigations, generating draft headlines, and creating audio versions of articles, always with human oversight. [5, 19, 20, 21, 22]AI responses may include mistakes.
