Researchers at the University of Lausanne have addressed two questions that are often asked in the context of our overall societal gainful employment mantra when it comes to the future of intelligent robots: The research design To identify the jobs that could be replaced most by robots, the team first created a list of robot […]
Developing a critical understanding of our times is perhaps the most important facet of competence in a democratically legitimized society. Public broadcasting, with its educational mandate, should (among other things) help to perpetuate such a critical understanding: This effort shines through the documentary about “Utopia – crazy visions in Silicon Valley” – and leaves one […]

In fact, the shortage of skilled workers has long since turned into a shortage of labor. There is a shortage of people in restaurants, hotels, construction and at […]

(And because it seems important to me.) 1. social workplaces can create a resilient future of work Increased investment in education, health care and nursing could Every dollar invested in these social sectors could trigger a multiplier […]
The lack of formally qualified teachers in Berlin schools is legendary. Or let’s jump right in with a quote: Last week, Berlin’s education senator announced that Berlin’s schools will be short nearly 1,000 teachers next school year.

In the context of the conference program, various studies were briefly presented, which mainly dealt with the comparability of the different rural regions in Germany. One of these studies triggered me because it […]
