The concept of "replacement" in the IT sector refers to replacing human employees with AI agents, a trend growing in various countries. In Romania, this phenomenon is still in its early stages, primarily in the private sector. Experts highlight that AI agents can be ideal employees due to their efficiency, lack of salary demands, and continuous availability. However, this shift raises concerns about job losses and potential impacts on the state budget. The transition to an AI-driven economy is already visible, with examples like self-service checkouts and chatbots replacing human roles. While the technical aspects of replacement are manageable, not all jobs can be replaced by AI. The societal implications of this trend are significant, with no clear statistics on the extent of replacement in Romania yet available.
