About the guest author: Junus Ergin studied business informatics at the Technical University of Munich and is a programmer, author, and founder of the Developer Academy, a professional development platform for aspiring software developers in the DACH region.

The world of work is facing profound change. Experts worldwide agree: Artificial intelligence (AI) will trigger a transformation in the coming years comparable in scale to the industrial revolution. The first changes are already visible today – from automated chatbots in customer service to AI-supported software development . But what does this development mean for our own careers and for companies? Will AI inevitably lead to mass job losses and shrinking payrolls, or will it create new, promising career paths?

AI is capable of completing repetitive and structured tasks faster, more cost-effectively, and often with fewer errors than humans. According to the World Economic Forum's current "Future of Jobs Report," this could result in the loss of around 92 million jobs worldwide by 2030. At the same time, however, around 170 million new jobs are expected to be created . The net effect: more employment.
