Nearly 80% of workers in Spain believe that artificial intelligence or automation will lead to the emergence of new professions related to the development, design, management or maintenance of these technologies. This is reflected in the study “Education and Employment in the Age of Artificial Intelligence and Automation,” Developed by 40 dB.
Along these lines, the report indicates that 49% confirm that they already have contact with artificial intelligence or automation technologies in their jobs, even if it is not the main focus of their tasks.
