But does this mean that there will soon be "too little" work for everyone? No. It means that the demands on human labor will shift. People will be able to focus more on creative and interactive tasks in the future - and they'll be able to do them more self-directedly. The creative boss who takes part in a brainstorming session in Amsterdam via laptop from Düsseldorf, the translator who uses AI tools to do the work for the entire next week on a rainy weekend, the skilled worker who uses VR goggles to analyze hydraulic damage remotely: All these examples show that and how work can be better integrated into our personal everyday lives in the future.

What can companies expect? 

Companies can expect efficiency gains: an AI chatbot won't replace a customer service team, but it can significantly increase the team's processing rate. In return, companies must be prepared to assume more social responsibility and make concessions to their employees in terms of working hours and working conditions. Employees, in turn, can expect mobile working and attractive working time models such as a 4-day week - but in return they must be prepared for lifelong learning.
