The report looks at "at the labor market impact of AI chatbots on 11 occupations, covering 25,000 workers and 7,000 workplaces in Denmark in 2023 and 2024."

As with all other technologies the jobs it removes are not normally in country that introduces it but that they never happen elsewhere.

For example, while the automated looms that the Luddites were protesting about didn't result in significant job losses in the UK. How much clothing manufacturing has been curtailed in Africa because of it and similar innovations since that have lead to cheap mass produced clothes making it uneconomic to produce there.

As suggest by this report, Denmark and West will probably be make good elsewhere and be largely unaffected.

However, places like India, Vietnam with large industries based on call centres and outsourced development servicing the West are likely to be more vulnerable.
