Current Project (Summer Semester 2024)

Arbeitsmarkt der Zukunft - (Potenzielle) Einflüsse von Robotern, Software und Künstlicher Intelligenz

Beschreibung: Im Fokus dieses Humboldt reloaded Projekts steht die aktuelle Debatte über die Auswirkungen von Automatisierung auf den Arbeitsmarkt. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob die potenziellen Lohneinbußen, die sich aus der Substitution von Arbeit durch Kapital für bestimmte Aufgaben ergeben, durch die Steigerung der Arbeitsproduktivität bei anderen Aufgaben ausgeglichen werden können. Im Gegensatz zu früheren Wellen der Automatisierung, bei denen Roboter und Software hauptsächlich mittelqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte mit Routineaufgaben ersetzten, haben technologische Fortschritte im Bereich der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) das Potenzial, sowohl routinebasierte als auch nicht-routinebasierte Aufgaben in einer Vielzahl von Berufen und Sektoren zu automatisieren.
