KPMG Rebuilds Entry-Level Jobs, AI Hits ...

Jacob Morgan
About this episode

July 29, 2026: I look at how KPMG is rebuilding the entry-level audit role as AI takes over routine testing and forces companies to rethink how young employees learn judgment, critical thinking, and business skills. Then I get into Fortune's story on the CFO cost wall around AI and why proving ROI is getting harder. Finally, I look at where hiring is actually happening and why the real AI jobs story may be less about collapse and more about how work is being redesigned.
