AI has the potential to greatly change the world of work. As with other technological innovations, existing jobs will be taken over by new applications, AI applications. Looking back at the economic history of the last 150 years, however, each technological innovation has also created new professions and fields of activity. As a rule, more new jobs have been created than have been lost. What development will occur with AI is still uncertain.
This also applies to the field of project management. According to Gartner, around 80% of traditional project management work will be taken over by clever machines by 2030. However, if one goes into concrete discussions about what will be taken over by AI applications in the daily work of a project manager, the picture often becomes blurred. It is difficult to understand how the skills in the areas of communication, team leadership, stakeholder management, or problem and conflict resolution that are crucial to project success will be taken over by AI applications.
