"In a meta-experiment on the future of the global economy, Deutsche Bank Research Institute turned to the machine itself for answers. Rather than relying solely on traditional economic modeling, analysts asked their proprietary AI tool, dbLumina, to identify exactly which industries it intends to upend. The resulting report offers a stark vision at a "great rebalancing," pinpointing exactly where the algorithms expect to displace human labor."
"Perhaps the most ironic conclusion for Silicon Valley is that the sector most exposed to disruption may be the one building the disruptors: Information Technology and Software. The AI found the sector to be particularly susceptible because software development is built on logic and patterns-the very qualities AI systems are designed to automate. The report notes that over 85% of developers are already using AI coding assistants, with productivity gains of up to 60%."
Deutsche Bank Research Institute used dbLumina and Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro to analyze global sectors and identified a 'great rebalancing' where algorithms will displace human labor in data-rich, repetitive-task industries. Information Technology and Software face the greatest exposure because software development relies on logic and patterns that AI automates. Over 85% of developers already use AI coding assistants, yielding up to 60% productivity gains and pressuring software licensing and entry-level coding roles, exemplified by a $2 trillion software stock sell-off. Finance and customer service show high susceptibility, while empathy- and dexterity-driven roles remain comparatively safer.
