Issues in focus
Work in the digital age
The future of work is now. We work side by side with intelligenz technologies. Does that frighten us, or does it give us courage? Automation and AI are changing the world of work. How will we work tomorrow, and who gets a say? No machine can give us the answers. Not yet, it can't. Sleeves up - there's work to be done!
At this point we have set up the dossier “Work in the Digital Age”, in which we wrote about the transformation of the world of work and corporate co-determination within the framework of the research project "Competitor and Complementary - the Relationship between Corporate Co-Determination and New Participation Platforms". This research project was completed in 2020 with the publication of the finished study. We wish all interested parties a pleasant reading of the study and look forward to continue exchanging ideas with you! With the completion of the project, we will also end the active editorial work on this blog - but the articles will remain online.
Our next research project in the field of work is titled "Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Work - Implications, Possibilities and Risks" - more information can be found here.
