A total of 577,011 workers, of the 1,012,300 who are employed in Castilla y León, would be at high or significant risk of job loss when replaced by Artificial Intelligence, according to the study ‘Impact of Artificial Intelligence in the Market Labor of Castilla y León’, developed by UGT.
This was stated by the regional secretary of Union Action of UGT in Castilla y León, Raúl Santa Eufemia, who explained that in this study artificial intelligence has been understood as the exercise of a “digital or cybernetic” machine in which is generating “more digital wisdom” with all the data that they collect “continuously”, and that “in the end there is no need for a human to be in this position.”
In this framework, the regional secretary has stated that in terms of employment volume, the Community would be faced with the possibility of almost 243,000 Castilian and Leonese “would lose their jobs”and another 334,000 would be in a situation “of significant vulnerability.”
Likewise, in the province of Valladolid a total of 131,329 jobs would be lost; followed by León with 96,900 workers; Burgos with the loss of 91,941 positions; 74,784 jobs in Salamanca; in Segovia there would be 42,921 jobs; Zamora would lose 39,387 positions in total; 38,589 workers in Palencia; in Ávila 36,765 and, finally, 24,396 jobs lost in Soria.
At the national level, as Santa Eufemia has stated, Castilla y León would be the fourth autonomous community with the “highest risk” of job loss due to Artificial Intelligence, behind Murcia, Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha, since 24 percent of employment would be at “very high risk of disappearance” and 33 percent “at substantial risk due to being relocated by machines”.
For this reason, this study states that, to reduce this “massive” loss of employment, vocational training becomes a “fundamental” aspect, although it assures that this “will take a cost and time.” In this sense, the regional secretary has stated that 21.20 percent of the workers mentioned above may be receptive to being able to change their way of working with training of less than a month.
Furthermore, with an instruction of between one and three months, 15.4 percent could change this form. Thus, also 15.4 percent of workers could complete the training in an approximate time of between three and six months, while 16.8 percent would complete the relevant education between six months and a year. Finally, 31.2 percent of workers who may be perceptible to changing their way of working would take more than a year to complete their new training.
Integration in the company
Based on the data developed previously, Raúl Santa Eufemia explained that from the union Transparency will be required from companiessince “they must provide all information about their operation to the authorities, workers and their representatives.”
On the other hand, they will also request that decision-making be supervised by a person, since, according to the regional secretary, “more and more elections are being made with artificial intelligence.”
In addition, they will also ask training and information for both workers as for their legal representatives, since “they must be trained in this matter to be able to make the correct decisions about its use” and will rely on rules, regulations and collective agreements because, “in the near future, there will be laws that determine business decisions on Artificial Intelligence issues.
Finally, Santa Eufemia has stated that they will carry out “special monitoring” in all work centers, both with the workers’ representatives and with any of the workers who have a contract linked to a company in which they have reliable information. , grabbed his contract in his daily life, of the use of Artificial Intelligence as a person in his company
