The founder of a new business said while jobs may look different in the future, there is "no reason why Guernsey would lose net jobs" to artificial intelligence (AI).
The CEO of Bank Aston, Paul Gorman, has about 10 employees pre-launch and plans to use AI as part of the bank's workflow.
"You may lose existing jobs, but those statistics don't take account of the new jobs that are being created because of the advent of new technologies," he said.
In 2020, work by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in the Channel Islands estimated that about 10,800 jobs in Guernsey were at risk due to automation between then and 2035.
Callum McCutcheon, a director at PwC Guernsey, said they were not seeing a decline in entry level roles yet but the future workforce would need to adapt.
