Summary/Abstract: The work aims to highlight the changes that modern technologies can bring to the labor market in the future. Studies and research demonstrate the benefits and threats that Artificial Intelligence will cause on the labor market; in general; on the Romanian one; in particular. Questions such as: What is the strategy that will reduce job losses? How and where will new jobs be created? What do we do when the number of lost jobs exceeds the number of new ones; and the market presents high unemployment and few qualified human resources? Where education goes headed for the training of specialists in new fields? ; bring into view big issues that cannot be ignored.The research succinctly answers these; showing that the labor market will have a very different picture from today; with nuances from one country to another. The first conclusion that emerges from the study is that the new structure of services and activities of the future requires high-level skills and competencies; which are difficult to acquire quickly and without important individual and collective efforts. A second emphasizes that we need adequate education for the changes that Artificial Intelligence will cause. In Romania; the process of innovation and creativity is continuously decreasing. Society is increasingly unprofessional; and people with skills are hard to find. This development should raise public concern; as the challenges posed by technologies already seem insurmountable due to poor governance; aging populations; and job structures.
