The impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market

The automation process as well as the artificial intelligence evolves at an amazing speed. The impact of automation on the regional and local labor market depends greatly on the characteristics of the local economy. In this context, the objectives of this paper are: the classification of EU countries by using the cluster analysis according to the development of artificial intelligence in each country; the visualization of the activity sectors with the highest influence on the stability of the labor market; the assessment of the impact of artificial intelligence on the employment rate. With the automation of certain routine jobs, new jobs will emerge in the marketplace that will lead to the stability of the labor market over time. In order to protect the labor market from the shocks caused by automation, and to provide citizens with the necessary conditions to reintegrate into the labor market, specific policies are needed, especially in some activity sectors identified in this paper.
