Artificial intelligence (AI) is already reshaping the labour market, even if the changes are not always immediately visible. Yet while Slovakia faces shortages of doctors, nurses and skilled tradespeople such as plumbers, AI is unlikely to fill these gaps any time soon.
Experts agree that AI will not replace humans wholesale. Rather, workers who know how to harness the technology will often replace those who do not. Crucially, some professions – and certain skill sets – will remain beyond AI’s reach.

“The future of work is not just about worrying about AI; it’s about how we can use it to our advantage,” Jitka Kouba, marketing director at recruitment agency Grafton Slovakia, told the Sme daily. “Professions in which empathy or manual dexterity is essential – from trades to health care – require a personal touch and will likely remain out of reach of full automation for the foreseeable future.”
