How AI is causing an unemployment crisis among middle aged job seekers | 60 Minutes Australia
Experience ought to help a job application. In 60 Minutes Australia's most-watched new upload, the question is what happens when artificial intelligence helps decide who gets through.
The report, labeled Computer Says No, examines AI's role in hiring and the difficulties facing middle-aged job seekers. It has reached roughly 744,000 views, making it the standout among fifteen new uploads. The comments extend the discussion beyond older applicants: viewers point to the apparent contradiction between demanding experience from young candidates and discounting it in older ones. Others ask how expectations of a longer working life fit with difficulty finding employment.
Across the channel, the week brought nearly six million views and a modest increase in subscribers. Daily viewing is running above its usual level, though the weekly total was smaller than those of most nearby broadcaster peers. CBS News and LiveNOW from FOX had particularly busy weeks.
The newest momentum comes from the archive-spanning anthology about Bob Chappell's disappearance and Sue Neill-Fraser's murder conviction, which she has consistently disputed. Drawing on more than a decade of coverage, it is currently attracting the channel's most daily views. An archival explainer about Australian bat lyssavirus is also drawing substantial attention.
There was room for a different kind of looking back, too. Magda Szubanski sat down with Tracy Grimshaw to revisit career highlights, including the comedian's familiar territory as Sharon Strzelecki in Kath & Kim. A separate upload focuses on her recollection of an on-screen kiss with Heath Ledger, giving that career rewind a more specific, decidedly less bureaucratic talking point.
