Karriere: KI bedroht viele Jobs in der IT – diese halten Experten für zukunftssicher
Auf kaum eine Branche hat Künstliche Intelligenz so viel Einfluss wie auf die IT-Branche. Welche Kenntnisse bei Unternehmen künftig zählen – und wieviel Gehalt sie dafür zahlen.
Dirk Stöckmann, a former miner, has been working in the networking equipment industry for 25 years. He began his career as a system engineer in 2001, specializing in data center technologies shortly after. He later worked as a technical solution architect in a data analysis group, earning one of the most prestigious IT certifications, CCIE, which only 100,000 people worldwide hold.
Currently, he serves as a Hypershield Solutions Engineer, developing security architectures for AI-based IT to better protect data centers and cloud environments. Stöckmann's six-figure salary is a result of his continuous professional development, with his CCIE certification, renewed every three years, providing a substantial bonus.
He advises anyone considering a job in IT to be curious about technology and committed to lifelong learning, as AI makes such dedication even more crucial. A survey by the Bitkom association of 850 companies revealed that eight out of ten believe the IT sector will face a growing workforce shortage due to AI, and 42% anticipate AI to create additional demand for specialists.
While 27% expect AI to lead to job cuts, almost a quarter of companies report that job applicants lack specific requirements due to new technologies. IT professionals now need to possess certain skills, with some roles becoming more important and others losing significance.
