Arbeitszeit: Dieser Rechner zeigt, wie viel Sie künftig arbeiten müssen
Sollte KI nicht Arbeitszeit ersparen? Erste Studien zeigen, dass teils das Gegenteil der Fall ist. Woran das liegt – und wie viel mehr oder weniger Sie womöglich bald arbeiten.
The prevailing narratives around Artificial Intelligence (AI) are: "AI can do many things better than we humans can." "AI will make entire jobs unnecessary." "AI will create entirely new jobs." "AI makes us more efficient and will save us time." In reality, however, the situation is different for many workers. Instead of lessening their workload, many feel an increased burden due to AI.
Wei Jiang, an economics professor at Emory University in Atlanta, USA, has been puzzled by this contradiction – the contrast between the lofty productivity promises of AI and her own, experienced reality.
Jiang, in collaboration with researchers from several other universities, investigated how AI truly alters the daily work routine and, above all, the workload of employees. The researchers were able to show, based on data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), that in the USA, average working hours are increasing on average, not decreasing.
For the German Bild newspaper, based on these research findings, and with the aid of data from the German Working Time Statistics, they have developed a calculator. This tool is intended to predict your own work hours for 2027 based on various criteria.
