AI and the future of work: conversations about jobs, curiosity and responsibility

Reza Mehman, host of conversations about AI and the future of work

03 / AI & THE FUTURE OF WORK

How is AI changing work — and us?

AI and the future of work raise questions that go far beyond new tools. Which tasks are changing? Which skills will remain important? And who benefits from greater productivity? My conversations bring together different perspectives on these questions.

AI and the future of work from different perspectives

There are plenty of predictions about this topic. I am interested in how my guests reach their conclusions and where their priorities differ. This page brings together selected interviews about work, education, technology and responsibility. Their statements belong in the context of each conversation. You can explore their arguments and compare them with your own experience.

Christoph Zöller approaches these developments as a recruiting entrepreneur. At Dinner im Schloss, Philipp “Pip” Klöckner discusses which tasks might change. Albrecht Metter adds a perspective on local AI and digital sovereignty. An earlier conversation with Jonas Andrulis offers insight into building a technology company.

The interviews and their linked episode articles are currently in German.
