Artificial intelligence is developing extremely quickly and is transforming both our everyday lives and our working lives. According to a survey conducted by Moovijob.com, 46% of workers say they are concerned that their job could be replaced by artificial intelligence. But what is the reality of the situation?
An intrusive and unavoidable development
You can hardly have missed it: AI is everywhere. It is developing day by day, with new applications more or less useful being created every day, and it is being used more and more in both personal life and at work. Whether you have already asked for a recipe using whatever was left in your fridge or to draft an email to all your colleagues, you probably had a very good reason for using it!
AI allows all of us to carry out certain tasks more quickly, particularly in our work. It is likely to transform our lives, which is why we must make sure we use it effectively, but without overusing it. We must continue to think and carry out research by ourselves; otherwise, we could become dependent on it far too quickly, and our work could become uniform and soulless.
Nearly half of workers are concerned
According to Moovijob.com’s latest survey, 46% of Luxembourgish workers say they are worried that AI could replace their job. This figure is fairly striking and quite understandable given the extremely rapid progress of artificial intelligence. No one knows how far it may go in the future, nor to what extent its development could impact the labour market.
However, several respondents also said they were not worried about being replaced. This was particularly the case for manual jobs in sectors such as construction and hospitality.
This is also the view of a children’s activity leader and teacher, who said: "I think my job as an entertainer will never be replaced, because it takes a human to take care of kids. For teaching, I think the same, because even with ChatGPT, children like to have someone real to explain to them."
Is your job at risk?
According to a study published in June 2024 by the Implement Consulting Group, 6% of jobs in Luxembourg could be replaced by artificial intelligence. The study specifically mentions translators, call centre staff, and clerical support workers. This is a fairly significant figure, but it could partly be offset by the number of jobs AI is likely to create. In addition, the study states that 72% of jobs could be transformed. This is a huge proportion and will require workers to learn how to use AI properly and integrate it into their day-to-day professional tasks. The remaining 22% are also expected to be affected by the development of AI, but in a relatively minor way, without major changes.
The GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) Luxembourg also published a study showing that, in the Grand Duchy, 68% of TEA entrepreneurs (1) believe AI will be able to improve productivity and operational efficiency. This is the highest figure in Europe and shows that young businesses are placing a strong emphasis on AI as part of their development. It will therefore be essential for most workers to master it to optimise both their efficiency and their employability.

A study by LISER (Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research) also showed that Luxembourg is the country in the Greater Region where companies use AI the most. In fact, 23% of Luxembourgish companies say they use AI in one way or another, compared with just 16% in Germany, 10% in France, and 8% in Belgium.
This can be explained in particular by the strong presence of financial companies in Luxembourg, which significantly pushes this figure upwards.
A respondent working in FinTech confirmed this: "I definitely think that AI will be a huge part of my job going forward. We are even encouraged to incorporate AI into our day-to-day work. However, I don’t think it will reach the stage where it will 100% replace what I do or what my colleagues do."

Another respondent working in business consulting shared his view on the implementation of AI: "I encourage company directors to use AI as an added advantage, and to take the opportunity to have, instead of one team of 10 people, five teams of two supported by AI. It is true that, economically, it is always easier for a manager to think about reducing headcount, but that leads to a loss of knowledge which can be quite dramatic. So I advise managers to be more agile and to test lots of things, because we do not know how business will look like tomorrow."
The government’s approach
In May 2025, the Luxembourgish government published a 2030 plan setting out its strategy for artificial intelligence. In this plan, the government states that it is placing "people first". It aims to develop "trustworthy" AI systems that are safe and low-risk. Another objective is to ensure the "sustainable use of energy" by establishing a long-term strategy to limit the environmental impact linked to the use of artificial intelligence. The government also intends to use AI in projects related to sustainable development. In its strategy, it announced projects in several fields, including medicine, education, and space research.
In addition, the Luxembourgish government recently launched the AI4Lux campaign, which aims to further develop AI in the Grand Duchy. As part of this initiative, a partnership was signed with the French AI company Mistral to make Luxembourg one of Europe’s leading players in artificial intelligence.
As for the labour market, ADEM (the National Employment Agency) has introduced new training courses linked to AI in order to adapt the skills of jobseekers and improve their employability. These include the Skills4Job project, which has already supported more than 500 people over the past three years and continues to grow over time. ADEM also plans to use AI to better identify employment and skills needs in Luxembourg. The aim is to anticipate potential job cuts or role changes to prevent too many people from being left unemployed.
Moovijob.com is also the first job board in Luxembourg to have integrated AI in order to help recruiters save time when screening applications.
In summary, although AI represents a threat to certain jobs, it is also an opportunity to make the work of many employees easier, and even to create new jobs that we may not yet be aware of. It is important to monitor its development closely, both for organisations and for workers, to help ensure a sustainable future.
