Luxembourgish media outlet Virgule reports on our latest research into the impact of AI on labor markets in Luxembourg, Germany, France & Belgium.
AI is reshaping demand not only for technical skills, but also for soft skills.

(Article in French) 👉 www.virgule.lu/luxembourg/l...

L’IA redéfinit les compétences demandées sur le marché du travail

Elle bouscule le quotidien en entreprise, mais son impact se mesure même en dehors des open spaces. L’intelligence artificielle affecte tout autant le recrutement, entre évolution des compétences techniques recherchées et montée en puissance des soft skills.

Now, @terrygregory.bsky.social is presenting another interesting paper about the effects of AI on skills demand in Europe (data from France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Belgium)

The paper shows differentiated effects across occupations (more diverse skills) and within occupations (more concentration)

COVID-19 wasn't a digital accelerator for German firms after all: A new IZA paper reveals it slashed tech adoption by 1.4 years of normal investment activity.

Remote work tools surged, but overall tech progress stalled, posing challenges for future economic growth.
