According to a latest report by the Dutch central bank (DNB), a very large proportion of Dutch workers' jobs could undergo significant transformation due to artificial intelligence.
The report identifies varying exposure levels across professions: software developers, linguists, and accountants face greater potential impact, while occupations like cleaners face relatively less exposure. DNB emphasized that assessment metrics reflect where AI can provide support or automate tasks, rather than predicting final employment outcomes. The bank noted AI could both automate certain tasks and help workers increase productivity while creating new products and services, meaning expanded AI deployment would not necessarily reduce job opportunities. DNB recommends employers incorporate reskilling and upskilling measures in collective labor agreements to help workers adapt to new job demands arising from technological change.
