AI’s impact on work: shifts in tasks, differences in perception

The impact of AI on the labor market is often described in broad terms: “jobs are disappearing” and “entire sectors are transforming.” The AI impact analysis by Intelligence Group takes a different approach by placing the perspective of workers themselves at the center. To what extent do they believe their current work can already be carried out today by AI or robots? And to what extent do they expect this to affect their position within the next five years?

This combination of estimated task automation and experienced uncertainty creates a nuanced picture: a substantial impact, but with clear differences by age group, occupation, and sector. And a striking contrast between the Netherlands and Belgium.
