Agentic AI: 60% of Highly Educated Jobs in the Netherlands at Risk

Research reported from Allianz Trade, which found that 60% of jobs held by highly educated professionals in the Netherlands are at risk of automation due to Agentic AI. Unlike earlier AI that handled repetitive tasks, Agentic AI targets cognitive functions in sectors like finance, IT, law, and management. The Netherlands is particularly vulnerable because AI investments there often replace human work rather than complement it. While routine reporting and compliance can be automated, the article emphasizes that human skills like contextual interpretation, ethics, and complex decision-making remain irreplaceable. Ultimately, the future belongs to professionals who use AI as a “co-pilot” to enhance their strategic value rather than competing against it.
