Poland resistant to AI? The labor market is firmly focused on people for now

There are 40 percent due to the dissemination of artificial intelligence at risk in the world. jobs, but Poland is relatively resistant to these changes – indicate Allianz Trade experts. In their opinion, to minimize the negative effects of AI's dissemination, you should act “here and now”.

According to the report of the Allianz Trade Economic Research Bureau, 60 percent jobs in developed economies and 40 percent global employment is exposed to reductions in connection with the dissemination of artificial intelligence. According to experts, the scale of these changes may be similar to the effects of the industrial revolution and constitute a “fundamental challenge” for existing work models, income distribution and economic growth.

The authors of the report pointed out that it has a relationship especially with the creation of AI agents, i.e. artificial intelligence technology capable of performing tasks, even very complex, without human supervision. Experts estimated that the impact of such agents on the global economy will reach annually from 2.6 trillion dollars up to 4.4 trillion dollars in the next two to five years.

Allianz Trade studies have shown that Poland, like Germany, Spain and Italy, is “relatively resistant” to a significant reduction in jobs as a result of the implementation of an increasingly advanced artificial intelligence, because in these countries gross outlays on fixed assets and work clearly complement each other.

In addition to reduction of full -time, AI development is also associated with the “unprecedented intensity” of the use of capital, energy and fresh water both to train large models of artificial intelligence, as well as the construction of an extensive infrastructure of data centers for their operation – it was indicated. These costs increase over 2.4 times every year – experts pointed out.

They added that to minimize the negative effects of AI's dissemination, you should act “here and now”. They indicated that thoughtful public activities were necessary, e.g. investments in education for adults and supplementing qualifications, ensuring basic income or other cover activities. “There is no single solution to implement in all countries. It is only certain that it is necessary to quickly analyze the topic and action,” the report was noted. (PAP)
