And by 2040, it could free up around 6,000 employees per year. They would be able to perform other tasks in the public or private sector instead. These are some of the findings in a new report commissioned by the Confederation of Danish Employers, DA. Based on the report, DA has made seven recommendations to politicians on how to ensure a wise and targeted phasing-in of AI in the public sector.
