Will artificial intelligence replace your job?

The development of artificial intelligence is progressing at a rapid pace, permeating all areas of professional life. According to a survey by Moovijob.com, almost half of workers in Luxembourg (46%) fear losing their jobs due to automation. However, experts are calling for a more balanced analysis of the situation, distinguishing between the complete replacement of professions and their inevitable transformation.

A study by the Implement Consulting Group, published in June 2024, indicates that in Luxembourg only 6% of jobs are at risk of being completely replaced by AI. The following sectors are at risk:

• Translators;
• Call centre staff;
• Clerical support staff.

At the same time, the vast majority of roles (72%) will undergo a transformation. This means that AI will not replace humans, but will become an essential tool that will transform day-to-day tasks. The remaining 22% of roles, predominantly those involving manual labour (construction, the hospitality industry), will be affected by technology to a minimal extent.

The Grand Duchy is a leader in the Greater Region in terms of the uptake of new technologies. According to data from the LISER Institute, 23% of Luxembourg companies are already using AI, which is significantly higher than the figures for Germany (16%) and France (10%). This trend is explained by the high concentration of financial and fintech companies in the country.

The business community is also showing optimism: 68% of young entrepreneurs (TEA entrepreneurs) believe that AI will improve their operational efficiency. Consulting experts advise managers not to cut staff, but to use AI to create more flexible and productive teams, warning against a ‘dramatic loss of knowledge’ resulting from mass redundancies.

The ‘People First’ National Strategy

In May 2025, the Luxembourg government presented a strategic plan for the development of AI up to 2030. The government’s main priorities include:

Moreover, the partnership with the French company Mistral is aimed at establishing Luxembourg as one of the key players in the field of AI in Europe. Thus, although AI poses a threat to a number of highly specialised professions, for most workers it will present an opportunity to simplify routine tasks, requiring in return a willingness to engage in continuous learning and to master digital tools.
