The use of AI in companies and start-ups has gained in importance in recent years. A Bitkom survey shows that many tech start-ups are abandoning new hires due to AI and, in some cases, are even cutting jobs. At the same time, many companies expect lower wages for newcomers as AI systems increase efficiency and automate manual tasks. This development affects labour market dynamics and changes the way companies work. AI is not only used to optimize processes, but also to improve decision-making processes and reduce personnel requirements. In IT security, for example, AI is changing the security landscape by bringing both risks and solutions. The Indian central bank is also investigating how AI can improve access to banking services by granting loans to undeserved people. These examples show that AI plays a central role in various industries and application fields and fundamentally changes the world of work. Although AI increases efficiency, the human component remains crucial as AI cannot replace but complement. Integrating AI into existing systems requires careful planning and a clear definition of use cases. Companies must also consider the ethical and legal aspects in order to remain successful in the long term. Overall, AI is seen as a key tool for the future that brings both opportunities and challenges. The impact on the world of work is varied and requires a targeted strategy to make the most of the benefits.
