The Forecast: AI Threat for Coding Jobs Becomes Clearer
Welcome back to The Forecast from Bloomberg Weekend, where we examine the future — from next week to next decade. This weekend, we’re focusing on an AI-induced hiring pause, rising credit card delinquency in the US, and a slowdown in transatlantic travel.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently highlighted the company’s commitment to innovation during their 50th anniversary celebration at their Redmond, Washington headquarters. The event showcased Microsoft’s continued focus on technological advancement, which is particularly relevant as we explore the impact of AI on coding jobs.
The AI-induced hiring pause is becoming increasingly evident in the tech industry. As AI technologies continue to advance, companies are reassessing their hiring needs for coding positions. This shift is causing a slowdown in new hiring for these roles, potentially altering the landscape for tech professionals.
In other economic news, credit card delinquency rates in the US are on the rise. This trend could have significant implications for consumer spending and overall economic health. As delinquency rates increase, there’s potential for a ripple effect throughout the financial sector.
Transatlantic travel is also experiencing a slowdown. After a period of post-pandemic recovery, travel between the US and Europe is decreasing. This decline could impact airlines, tourism industries related industries that rely on international travel.
These trends highlight important shifts in both the technology sector and broader economy. As we move forward, it will be crucial to monitor these developments and their potential long-term consequences.
