Karriere: KI bedroht viele Jobs in der IT – diese halten Experten für zukunftssicher

Dirk Stöckmann, a former coal miner turned Cisco network equipment specialist, has been in his current top role for 25 years. He credits his success to a continuous thirst for knowledge and technical learning, especially in the face of Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancements. AI technologies can now write code, analyze data, identify errors, and test software, tasks that were previously done by human experts.

However, Stöckmann emphasizes that human expertise remains crucial, particularly in evaluating and refining AI-generated results, a skill that requires deep technical understanding and continual practical experience. The good news, according to many IT experts, is that AI won't render IT professionals obsolete. In fact, 42% of a Bitkom survey of 850 companies believe AI will create additional demand for specialists.

However, roughly 27% anticipate job displacement due to AI. The most sought-after IT skills in the current job market include IT security expertise and IT architecture, while software developers, IT testing managers, and IT administrators are becoming less sought-after. Key competencies for future IT roles will involve critical thinking, the ability to assess AI-generated content, and a strong understanding of business and domain knowledge.
