### **The True Impact of AI on Those Just Beginning Their Careers and How We Overcome It**

Across universities, AI guidance is inconsistent, unclear, and often nonexistent:

- 43% of students are afraid to use AI because they don't know if it's allowed
- 30% of students have no AI training at all
- 39% of students are unable to follow vague policies.

Yet in the workplace? Not a single one of our host companies bans AI.

Interns are encouraged to move quickly, automate efficiently, and deliver results from day one. 

This mismatch is creating an environment where speed masks errors and confidence outpaces capability. 

Through a cross-section of intern-supervisor interviews and data collected over six months, this report examines how AI is transforming day-to-day internship work and surfacing systematic gaps. 

When demand calls for an AI-capable workforce, how do we ensure that graduates are ready?
