  "account": "Mathias Albert, a researcher specializing in youth, warns that today's young people, Gen Z, are increasingly not just anxious, but also without hope. He has labeled them as \"the lost generation.\" This term may sound ominous, but Albert is not exaggerating. The current situation with the integration of AI into the job market is still uncertain. While it's true that some groups, particularly those with lower educational qualifications, will likely be less affected by AI, the growing uncertainty among the higher-educated and upper-class individuals is a cause for concern. Albert notes that many young people are now questioning the value of their degrees, even in previously secure sectors like computer science and law. This uncertainty is leading to increased apathy, polarization, and a sense of aimlessness among young people.",
