New Website Launched in Poland to Assess AIs Impact on Various Professions

The Polish research institute «Scientific and Academic Computer Network» (NASK) has launched a website where users can assess how vulnerable various professions are to the influence of artificial intelligence. This platform evaluates over 2,500 occupations and nearly 30,000 tasks.

While the site is primarily in Polish, it also offers an English version.

In addition, NASK has published a report titled «How Will Generative AI Impact the Labor Market?», created in collaboration with the International Labour Organization. This report examines the potential effects of this technology on the local job market.

According to the report, approximately 30% or 5 million jobs in Poland are susceptible to the influence of generative AI, particularly in office roles. Researchers emphasize that this does not imply a total replacement of humans by AI; instead, professionals in these fields should adopt AI tools to enhance their work and alleviate their workload.

However, AI could completely replace less than 5% of jobs, equating to 818,000 positions in the country. Among those at risk are roles such as invoice issuers, text editors, archivists, and similar professions.

Women are most affected by the rise of AI, particularly in the 15-24 age group, where nearly 48% work in jobs threatened by automation, compared to just under 23% for men. This disparity persists across all age groups but gradually decreases with age. For instance, among women aged 35-44, the rate is 43.4%, while it drops to 26.1% for those aged 55-64. This imbalance likely stems from the fact that women are more frequently employed in office and administrative positions.

The report’s authors point out that traditional jobs will be replaced by new ones. For example, there may be a demand for AI translators, consistency coordinators, or «AI plumbers.» AI translators will convert model languages into business terminology to assist managers in decision-making, consistency coordinators will ensure data coherence and interaction with generative AI in organizations, while AI plumbers will troubleshoot errors within networks of automated agents. Additionally, a role such as a «trust inspector» may emerge, tasked with ensuring the generated AI data is accurate and comprehensive.

Previously, a study by the job search website Adzuna revealed that since the launch of the ChatGPT chatbot in November 2022, the number of new entry-level job postings has decreased by almost 32%. This pertains to positions for graduates, interns, and applicants for junior roles that do not require a college degree. Currently, such positions account for 25% of the entire labor market, down from nearly 29% in 2022.
