CEFAU Chronicle: AI Can Increase Productivity, but It Won’t Happen by Itself

The use of AI in Danish companies is growing rapidly and is already widespread. However, it is not a given that we will reap all the potential productivity gains from AI.

Research from CEFAU shows that AI is continuously changing the content of jobs and the skills in demand. The right competencies are a prerequisite for companies, public workplaces, and society as a whole to realize all of AI's productivity benefits. In a new column in JP Finans, Associate Professor Michael Koch and Senior Analyst Marie Møller Kjeldsen highlight what is needed. It requires action from several sides:

  • Companies must provide targeted upskilling and organize work around tasks that are constantly evolving
  • Educational institutions must ensure updated and relevant education and continuing training opportunities
  • Politically, mobility and skills development must be supported.
