Future of work: AI creates opportunities and new challenges in Vienna
The future of work is facing a revolutionary change! Franz Kühmayer, a respected expert and trend researcher, predicts an increase in jobs in Vienna by 70,000 by 2030, while at the same time unemployment is showing a worrying change with currently 170,000 unemployed and 30,000 vacancies the “Krone” reported. The complexity of this situation is reflected in the fact that low-skilled workers are particularly affected. Kühmayer emphasizes the need to obtain the right qualifications to avoid job losses due to artificial intelligence (AI).
Artificial intelligence is seen as a double-edged sword: On the one hand, many simple jobs are being lost, but at the same time, new professional fields are emerging that would not exist without AI. Professions such as data analysts, AI engineers and digital ethics experts are becoming increasingly important, while automated processes in production and customer service bring efficiencies and cost savings to companies AI ERA. Kühmayer points out that understanding AI is crucial for workers, as those skilled in these technologies will be one of our most important resources in the job market.
The role of training and flexibility
Promising professional fields such as green jobs, IT services, tourism and nursing show that high-quality further training is essential. Particularly in a changing labor market, flexibility in working hours and models is paramount, and the opportunity to continue training becomes a key competency. Artificial intelligence offers opportunities to relieve the burden of routine tasks so that employees can concentrate on more demanding activities.
But the challenges cannot be neglected: the pressure on employees to adapt to new requirements and the risk of social inequality through automation make investments in education and qualifications essential. In order to successfully master change, companies and politicians must also work actively to support disadvantaged groups and make it easier for them to access new job opportunities.
