SAP research found nearly 69% of firms say AI adds to staff duties. More than half say training has not kept up.
The figure comes from SAP research, cited on 5 November by the marketing chief of SAP SuccessFactors, SAP's HR software.
Nearly 69% of organisations say AI is expanding employees' day-to-day responsibilities.
Her article says early-career roles have long relied on learning through repetition. She lists tasks such as reviewing customer feedback or interpreting performance metrics. She writes that many of them "can now be completed in minutes with AI."
SAP research published in June found openings in the 10 most common entry-level job titles fell 35% from 2024 to 2025.
Her advice to new hires: "Your role isn't to accept AI output; it's to validate it."
For SAP delivery leads, that changes the first months on a project. If AI drafts that work, someone has to check a junior's output before it reaches the client. That review time belongs in the delivery plan, alongside the junior seats. The hiring figures are not specific to SAP projects.
