Why artificial intelligence puts EVERY job at risk?

The inevitable AI wave is already rolling in
Ask yourself: What does the future of your company look like? Is your workplace safe?
For a long time, we actually felt safe. We engineers, we specialists in marketing, production, development or even law; we project managers, creatives and managers. We were told that the simpler jobs were affected – truck drivers, construction workers, cab drivers, support staff, office assistants and interpreters. We are currently experiencing the transition to a new world in which even highly qualified positions are no longer immune to the influence of artificial intelligence – this transition is already underway and no one can close their eyes with a clear conscience.

Ever since the so-called LLMs (Large Language Models) such as ChatGPT have been freely available for everyone to use, it has become clear that AI affects the “higher value” activities first in a way that was not to be expected. Namely, it is precisely in the creative, digital, eloquent, analytical and even strategic activities that AI has the greatest influence. We are seeing how AI tools such as GitHub Copilot are increasingly taking over the tasks of programmers. These tools are becoming more powerful, they are not just assistants; they are becoming colleagues who write code, solve problems and even very creatively write novels that are almost indistinguishable from a human work. Above all, these “new” colleagues are fast, they are constantly learning, work practically 24/7, are not sick and do not demand minimum wage.

But it’s not just about individual jobs. Companies are affected as a whole. AI can make your entire operations, from customer service to product development, significantly faster, cheaper and more efficient overall.
What happens to companies that ignore these opportunities? Will you be able to compete with your competitors who are already introducing AI on a large scale to reduce costs, increase speed and offer their products more cheaply?

Large companies such as Lufthansa are already integrating AI very extensively and successfully into their day-to-day business – from optimizing their flight schedules to personalizing customer service. These companies will be among the winners in the market of the future.

The other option is simply to wait and see. Wait until the hype surrounding artificial intelligence passes. But that’s not a strategy, it’s more of a gamble where your chances are not good. AI is currently developing at an exponential rate, and this can hardly be avoided. It is already a fact that passive companies are being overtaken by proactive AI users.

So the main question is how AI can be used sensibly. There are considerable pitfalls and risks involved in the ill-considered use of AI. Large companies, such as Lufthansa, employ entire departments to minimize these risks and still realize enormous profits with AI.

What risks are we talking about? Above all, we are talking about data security. Companies that carelessly allow their employees to use ChatGPT run the risk of sensitive company data, protected processes or personal data becoming freely accessible to the whole world. The risk is not only to violate existing laws (e.g. GDPR), but above all to recklessly gamble away your perhaps decades-long work of advantages in know-how and market position.

These risks can be easily managed with targeted measures. Equally, they do not have to jeopardize your jobs or even your company. Companies with a future are setting the right course today.

A strategy for the future
AI is here and it’s not going away. So the question is not whether your jobs are at risk – they are. The question is rather what you are going to do about it. In the world of artificial intelligence, there are many challenges, but even more opportunities. Take advantage of these opportunities, but with caution.
