Romania is perpetually in the last (often last) places in the most important indicators of the European Union regarding innovation (27th out of 27), as well as in the most important indicators of the OECD's government digital transformation (27th out of 27) and similarly in the matter of most indicators of the general concept of "digitalization". We thus find ourselves in a world where technology and related regulations are advancing at a rapid pace, but in which the Romanian state assumes the identity of a passive observer.

This Edge Institute report analyzes in detail how four types of technologies (robotization, programming, algorithmic learning and AI generation) influence the future of jobs in Romania. And the conclusions are clear: 70.65% of the Romanian labor market has a high degree of exposure to at least one type of automation. Moreover, 49.11% of jobs have a high degree of exposure to three or even four technological processes. To address these issues, concrete public policy solutions are proposed that Romania can adopt in the context of the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market.
