Artificial intelligence is transforming the workplace in Switzerland, but its effects are varied. A recent survey shows that some companies are cutting jobs or postponing hiring due to AI. Others are creating new positions in areas such as data science, AI development, and digital transformation. Most respondents report higher productivity and more efficient operations.

At the same time, concerns remain about further job losses, increasing workloads, and employee protection. Experts emphasize that AI is generally more likely to complement human work than replace it. With labour shortages driven by an ageing population, many companies see AI as an opportunity to boost productivity, even though its long-term impact on employment is still uncertain.
