Are we still working or are we already letting artificial intelligence (AI) work for us? This is no longer a distant dream for the future, but a concrete reality. “We will experience a revolution in the labor market in five years,” predicts Tino Senoner (64), managing director of Dynaskills, a platform specializing in labor market analysis. A new analysis available exclusively to Blick shows: 3 million jobs in Switzerland will change significantly over the next five years as a result of digital transformation.
The previous labor market revolution began after the dot-com bubble burst in 2000. It really gained momentum a few years later with the advent of smartphones. Online retail, social media platforms and big data then became the drivers of the revolution. The process ended with the corona pandemic: it made location-independent working socially acceptable worldwide. This change lasted almost 25 years, from the beginning of the millennium. The ongoing revolution through generative AI is now happening five times faster.

“Artificial intelligence is the super driver of transformation in the labor market,” says Senoner. AI writes customer letters, analyzes x-ray images and creates clear graphics based on complex text. This situation affects both clerks, doctors and illustrators. More than every second employee in Switzerland is affected by this upheaval, according to Dynaskills analysis. According to official figures, there are a total of 5.18 million jobs in this country.
According to calculations, 3 billion jobs worldwide are affected by digital change caused by artificial intelligence. It’s no surprise that one of the main topics of this year’s WEF, which opens in Davos GR on Monday, is artificial intelligence.

An arms race begins between leading economic countries: Due to aging, industrialized countries are struggling with a shortage of skilled workers. There is a global competition for the best personnel, that is, those who know how to deal with artificial intelligence.
According to Dynaskills, countries with strong financial markets, good vocational training systems and high computing capacities are in a good position. Switzerland has visibly fallen behind in global financial markets, especially with the collapse of Credit Suisse. In the Global Financial Centers Index, Zurich still ranks 18th, while the Swiss city of Geneva is still in the top 10. US and Asian financial markets, including New York, Hong Kong and Singapore, are increasingly at the top.
At least Switzerland can score points in vocational training: our dual education system is recognized worldwide and Switzerland regularly wins medals at world vocational championships. It is an indication that young professionals, especially those working in professions that require manual labor, are actually trained in the areas needed by the economy.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) will take place in Davos GR on Monday evening, January 15-19, 2024.

But Switzerland cannot rest on its laurels. Senoner warns, “Change is coming whether you want it or not.” The focus is primarily on those working in classic business jobs: accounting or administrative clerks, for example. You should seek further training opportunities as soon as possible. “The responsibility for this lies with the individual employee,” says Senoner.
However, the revolution in the labor market brings not only risks but also opportunities. According to official figures, 220,000 people are unemployed in Switzerland. Another 240,000 people are underemployed and therefore would like to work more if they could. The other 200,000 people are not actively looking for work because they see few opportunities in the job market, such as mothers after a family holiday. “For these groups, change will bring new opportunities to regain a place in the job market,” Senoner hopes. In just a few years it will become clear whether the hope was justified.
