Artificial intelligence will significantly influence the Romanian economy in the next 10 years, according to a report by the National Bank, which forecasts an economic growth of 5%, equivalent to 14-16 billion euros annually.

This growth will come from increasing the productivity of employees who use AI and from saving time through task automation. Although 4% of jobs are considered at risk of complete replacement, the BNR emphasizes that fears regarding the massive disappearance of jobs are unfounded. The labor market in Romania will undergo transformations in the way of working, not necessarily through the elimination of jobs. Adrian Mitroi, a professor of behavioral finance, states that AI represents a source of economic traction, replacing traditional competitive advantages. Approximately 54% of jobs will collaborate directly with AI, benefiting from increased productivity. Examples from the hospitality industry illustrate how AI can improve operational efficiency. Additionally, education will be profoundly influenced, providing quick access to cutting-edge information. In conclusion, most jobs will be adapted, and only 4% are at risk of being completely replaced.
