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 celebrated his 25-year career milestone at networking equipment maker Cisco. He began his career as a system engineer in 2001, later specializing in data center technologies. Stöckmann is one of the 100,000 holders of the highly sought-after CCIE IT certification, which earns him a substantial bonus.
He credits continuous learning as the key to his success, attributing the growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the IT sector. AI can write code, analyze data, find errors, and test software, tasks previously done by human specialists. Despite concerns about job displacement due to AI, the majority of surveyed IT professionals believe their skills will remain in demand.
The IT sector is particularly affected by AI, with tasks such as code generation, data analysis, error detection, and software testing now automated. However, the demand for IT security specialists and architects remains high. To succeed in the evolving IT landscape, experts need to possess strong analytical abilities, domain knowledge, system design skills, and effective communication with stakeholders.
According to Alexander Hendorf, founder of Pioneers Hub and chairman of the Python Software Association, future IT professionals will need to focus more on AI and critical thinking. While AI can automate routine tasks, it struggles with complex system architectures. Therefore, the ability to evaluate AI-generated outputs and understand the overall system is crucial.
