Abstract

This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the labor market in Spain, focusing on the creation of new professional roles and the transformation of existing ones. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combined surveys of educators and students with interviews of industry professionals, the study reveals a collaborative learning model involving students, teachers, and AI. Educators are evolving from mere transmitters of knowledge to facilitators of learning, leveraging AI's capabilities to prepare content and adapt pedagogical approaches. Students, generally optimistic, identify opportunities in emerging roles such as AI design experts and technology consultants. However, educators recognize the need to adapt curricula to these new roles, albeit with limited clarity on which will be most in demand. Among professionals, opinions are divided: some believe AI will enhance current roles, while others anticipate the emergence of new positions such as techno-anthropologists and bioeconomy experts. The study underscores the importance of continuous training, skills updating, and the integration of values such as empathy and sustainability to prepare students for the future labor market.
