AI4VET4AI - AI-powered Next Generation of VET
Science is clear: Artificial Intelligence will be the defining development of the 21st century. Experts estimate that due to the rise of AI within only 2 decades aspects of daily human life will be unrecognisable. The influence of AI is about to challenge the very organising principles of our economic and social order. It can generate unprecedented wealth, revolutionise medicine and education, but it can bring existential perils for life as we know it. This makes the EC2020 report that the EU is lagging behind USA and Asia in AI-adoption and development all the more worrying. Among many reasons behind that, the lack of skilled work force is definitively one of the more prominent ones. The objective of AI4VET4AI is to contribute to the digital transformation of the EU labour market by adding new innovative teaching content and methods to VET curricula across 11 European countries and 18 EU NUTS2 regions, in order to support the growth of AIskilled workers. We start from the ground up: we investigate the most potent sectors for AI-deployment in our 17 regions, and for those sectors, in close cooperation with enterprises and their cluster organisations we create 14 MOOCs and TT materials that can easily be implemented in VET programmes (IVET and CVET). We organise 11 innovative AI VET campuses and 7 VET innovation AI incubators, in which VET learners hone their creative and entrepreneurial skills. We use project activities to connect partners closely and to raise awareness of the AI potential in our regions among representatives of public and private sector, as well as civil society. In turn, this helps us to create a joint and active platform of concerned EU citizens and institutions, interested, informed and motivated in supporting AI development further -- this being the basis of our ambitious CoVE, which aims to attract many more institutions (HEIs, VETs, companies, agencies, individuals) in its pursuit of sustainable, inclusive and just AI-powered future for all.

InArbeit - Intelligenter Arbeitsmarkt? Auswirkungen der KI-Transformation auf Berufe, Branchen und Regionen
As a future and key technology with far-reaching consequences for economic development, artificial intelligence (AI) is central to the future competitiveness of companies, industries and therefore also regions. AI will lead to far-reaching changes in the labour market, and these changes will vary greatly between professions, sectors and regions. On the one hand, activities are at risk of being replaced by AI (displacement effect), while on the other hand AI offers enormous growth potential in many sectors and regions (productivity effect). In order to investigate this AI transformation, international labour market research has so far focused primarily on the question of which activities in which occupations could be replaced by AI in the future. However, this substitutability potential does not make it possible to capture the actual changes on the labour market, such as changes in demand. The Intelligent Labour Market? project therefore aims to capture the changes in the labour market based on AI demand in occupations, sectors and regions and thus to investigate the employment effects of the AI transformation.
In order to capture AI demand on the labour market, a new data set is being created in the project based on online job advertisements. This goal is supported by Dr Gábor Kismihók (Data Scientist at LUH). In collaboration with Dr Anne Otto from IAB - the research institute of the Federal Employment Agency (BA) - the AI demand indicator will be developed and validated on the basis of the extensive online data. This indicator makes it possible to statistically model the relationship between AI and employment in order to better understand the effects of the AI transformation. In addition, the automotive industry in particular, as a key sector in Germany, is facing major upheavals as a result of the AI transformation. The AI demand indicator and other output-oriented indicators are therefore used for a case study on the AI transformation within the automotive industry in order to compare the automotive clusters in Lower Saxony, Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria.
In addition to the scientific investigation of the effects, the project also aims to make the AI demand indicator available to a broad public and to discuss its results with Lower Saxony's economic development agencies. To this end, a new web application, the AI Atlas, is being developed to make the indicator available to the public online. An AI skills report for Lower Saxony will also be compiled in order to summarise a more in-depth analysis of the AI transformation of the labour market for policymakers and regional stakeholders and also to record gender differences in the supply and demand of AI skills on the labour market.
