00:00How is artificial intelligence, known as AI, changing the world of work?

00:05AI is as revolutionary as the steam engine once was.

00:08It can perform repetitive tasks more efficiently.

00:15According to one study, AI could replace up to 30% of the hours currently being worked by 2030.

00:23It is expected to reduce the demand for more traditional jobs like office and factory work and even customer service.

00:30But some professions involving controlling and repairing machines will be in even greater demand.

00:36Jobs requiring academic degrees like lawyers, journalists and mathematicians are also at risk.

00:44People have long had fears of groundbreaking inventions like steam engines and airplanes.

00:49But AI could provide relief from dangerous or monotonous tasks.

00:53New professional fields will also emerge.

00:56In the future, using AI will make it crucial for employees to continue to improve their skills.

01:02This will soon already be the case for up to 12 million people in Europe.

01:06Clearly, artificial intelligence will dramatically transform today's working world, leaving only a few professions untouched.
