00:00Will many such offices soon be empty when artificial intelligence takes over our work?
00:06If you believe tech bosses like Elon Musk, it could happen.
00:09There will come a moment when jobs are no longer needed.
00:13You can have one if you want, but AI will be able to do everything.
00:21Still rather unlikely, but the headlines are increasing.
00:24Just one example: 6000 jobs are to be cut at the computer company HP.
00:30The justification: artificial intelligence.
00:32These are developments that also concern people in this country.
00:35People are afraid for their own jobs, that they too will eventually be replaced by this.
00:39You can always see that it gets stronger year after year.
00:43And that is already causing people great concern.
00:47Of course, certain positions and tasks will change,
00:49But I think we have enough professions where new jobs are still needed.
00:55I see it more as an opportunity.
00:57According to a survey by the Ifo Institute, at least more than a quarter of companies assume that
01:03that AI will lead to job losses in the next five years.
01:08Because while earlier technologies like robots often automated helper tasks,
01:13AI plays a role primarily in highly skilled professions.
01:17This can be the diagnosis by a doctor, the pattern recognition of diseases.
01:23For lawyers, this could be the standard contract.
01:26And it can include design suggestions from the marketing agency.
01:31Used correctly, AI already makes work more productive today.
01:35This does not make humans obsolete in many areas.
01:38AI will lead to upheavals in the job market.
01:42She will take over tasks that are currently performed by humans.
01:45But it will also create new needs, new business models, and new investments.
01:51Where some jobs disappear, new ones can be created elsewhere.
01:54Often, however, with different requirements.
01:57The transformation? Not a given.
01:59The crucial thing is to ensure that people are not simply exposed to this upheaval.
02:05Because that is actually frightening.
02:07But that we seize the opportunity to further develop activities, to improve qualifications, to further develop skills,
02:13to take control of the situation.
02:15And then you can also take advantage of opportunities, even on an individual level.
02:20The extent of the upheaval in the labor market is still unclear.
02:24But change seems inevitable.
