“Future of Work - How the topic of (generative) AI will challenge us now and in the future and how we can learn to deal with it in order to make use of it”
Everyone is talking about AI, generative AI (GenAI). Companies want to use it in a targeted manner and some of us are asking ourselves “what do I need to know, what else should I learn”. As an active member of our society, as future employees and teachers, we can prepare ourselves for these complex questions and the unknown.
- What should we already know and what can we still learn?
- Which gadgets can be used where and how, and are they used by companies?
- What unknowns are we likely to have to deal with?
- And what contribution can each of us make to society?
