The economic impact of AI: new jobs or job losses?

The introduction of AI in industry will have a profound impact on jobs and the way we work. Is there hope for new jobs or are we facing a loss?

The use of AI will not only bring productivity gains in many industries, but also the need to develop new skills. The labour market could be polarized, with an increasing demand for highly skilled professionals and a decrease in traditional jobs. Companies must go hand in hand with training and upskilling their employees to meet these challenges.

It is not uncommon for us to associate AI with the fear of being replaced. The debate about the future of work in an AI-driven world will continue to intensify. It is therefore important to address the topic today in order to dispel such fears. One quote that has really stuck with me is:

AI is not going to replace humans, but humans with AI are going to replace humans without AI ~ Karim Lakhani

Learning AI is not a science. In the end, it is a new tool that can make our lives easier if we learn to use it. A hammer will never replace a craftsman, it will only make his work easier.

However, the economic impact of AI is diverse and complex. While some jobs will be lost, new ones will be created. The key challenge will be to prepare the workforce for the changes that lie ahead.
