Your profession may disappear completely in 15 years! Here are the jobs that artificial intelligence will complete

Speaking to the German economic newspaper Handelsblatt, Nahles stated that artificial intelligence will transform employment rather than completely destroy it.

Nahles said, "We predict that approximately 800 thousand jobs will disappear due to artificial intelligence in Germany in the next 15 years, but a similar number of new jobs will be created. Company service providers and analytical positions in insurance and banks will be hit harder by this process. Still, I want more investment in artificial intelligence in Germany, but this should not be because it is fashionable, but only as long as it increases productivity." he said.

Stating that artificial intelligence's job losses will not only affect highly skilled workers, Nahles noted that manual labor-based crafts and relatively low-skilled jobs are more resistant to this transformation.

Emphasizing that, despite this, no professional group is completely safe, Nahles said, "Despite this, the basic rule remains valid, in fact, no one is immune from this transformation anymore." made his assessment.

According to data from the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), one in every four companies in Germany uses artificial intelligence. Nahles stated that, as the Federal Employment Agency, they support companies and employees to adapt to this transformation with digital training programs.

Stating that the number of unemployed people in Germany has increased by 580 thousand people since 2022, Nahles noted that the priority problem in the short term is unemployment, but in the next five years, one of the country's biggest problems will be the lack of qualified workforce.

Stating that Germany loses a net of 500 thousand employees every year due to demographic change, Nahles stated that migration within Europe is insufficient to meet the workforce needs.

Nahles pointed out that, for this reason, it has become necessary to attract qualified employees from countries outside the European Union to Germany.
