Planning for artificial intelligence's transformation of 21st Century jobs,

Germany's experience with intensive use of robots since 1995 tells a similar story of job stability . When robots are introduced into a German manufacturing firm, largely automobile plants, this increases the chances that workers will keep a job at the firm, although many of them perform different tasks there. When German manufacturing firms deploy robots, they don't displace existing workers. They do, however, create fewer new jobs, resulting in, over time, a decline in overall employment in manufacturing. Since there are fewer new manufacturing jobs, workers seek and find work in other industries. As a result, robot use hasn't produced an overall decline in German employment.
