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

Berlin – For the past 25 years, Dirk Stöckmann, a former miner, has been employed by networking equipment manufacturer Cisco. He began his career in 2001 as a system engineer before specializing in data center technologies. Later, Stöckmann worked as a technical solution architect in a group focused on data analysis, eventually attaining one of the most prestigious IT certifications: CCIE. Only around 100,000 people worldwide hold this certification.

Currently working as a Hypershield Solutions Engineer, Stöckmann develops security architectures for AI-based IT, helping data centers and cloud environments to be better protected. His current role has led to a six-figure salary. Stöckmann attributes his success to continuous self-education. He emphasizes that aspiring IT professionals should be curious about technology and committed to continual learning.

AI has made this more crucial than ever, as it can write code, analyze data, identify errors, and test software – tasks previously performed by human specialists.

A recent Bitkom survey of approximately 850 companies reveals that 97% struggle to fill IT positions, with half expecting AI to create additional demand for specialists. Meanwhile, over a third anticipate that AI will replace many IT jobs and roles entirely. To thrive in today's IT landscape, professionals must possess relevant skills and profiles. The Handelsblatt interviewed experts and listened to companies' perspectives to gain insight into the matter.
