New technologies such as artificial intelligence are changing the way we work. But how exactly will this impact us? Cutting through the hype and dystopian fears, the latest UZH Magazine shines a light on UZH researchers who are exploring the future of work. It focuses on developments driven by new digital technologies and our ability to increasingly shape and organize our own work, which can boost our productivity while also making us healthier.
AI will be a part of many of our jobs in the future. Among other things, the magazine’s dossier explores how we can strike the right balance with AI and the importance of emotional and social aspects. Companies of the future will need to be both emotionally and technologically intelligent to create meaningful and fulfilling work environments for their employees. AI has the potential to elevate everyone’s abilities. Contrary to fears of mass unemployment, work won’t simply disappear. Rather, our roles will evolve, with people working alongside intelligent machines in a more harmonious manner.
As always, the UZH Magazin also features a wide range of additional topics, including an interview on political polarization and research on music streaming platforms. A selection of articles will be published here in English over the coming weeks. Happy reading!
