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

Dirk Stöckmann, a former miner, has celebrated his 25-year career milestone at networking equipment manufacturer Cisco. Starting as a System Engineer in 2001, he later specialized in data center technologies and worked as a technical solutions architect, including for data analysis. He earned one of the most prestigious IT certifications, CCIE, which only 100,000 people worldwide possess.

Now a Hypershield Solutions Engineer, his role involves developing security architectures for AI-based IT to enhance the protection of data centers and cloud environments. His current top position is a result of his continuous professional development, particularly through maintaining his CCIE certification, which provides him with regular bonuses.

Stöckmann emphasizes that anyone choosing an IT career should be curious about technology and committed to continuous learning, especially as AI transforms the industry. A recent Bitkom survey of 850 companies shows that 80% believe the labor shortage in the IT sector will worsen, and 42% expect AI to create additional demand for specialists.

However, about 27% anticipate job losses due to AI, and nearly one in four companies report that candidates do not meet specific requirements imposed by new technologies. IT professionals must currently possess relevant skills and profiles, while others may lose significance. Experts consulted by the Handelsblatt discussed the essential qualities for current IT talent.
