Künstliche Intelligenz: Was wir verlieren, wenn die KI die Routinen übernimmt
Die KI nimmt uns wiederkehrende Arbeiten ab, schafft so Raum für Kreativität und strategische Entscheidungen. Doch was ist mit denjenigen, die das nicht wollen?
Düsseldorf – The emergence of large robotic entities in the painting trade resembles oversized vacuum cleaners, complete with a white chassis, a dark blue robotic arm, and a hose fitted with nozzles. Weighing 140 kilograms, this machine's arm can reach up to 3.20 meters in height. Capable of painting for four hours on a single battery charge, these painting robots have become common sights on construction sites in recent years.
They operate meticulously and efficiently, replacing labor-intensive and repetitive tasks. Manufacturers claim that these robots liberate craftsmen from physically demanding, monotonous work. However, it's not just in the painting trade where machines are set to take over tedious routines; other professions are also being streamlined.
Programmers no longer need to code, lawyers won't have to sift through legal texts, and consultants won't have to create presentations. The automation of repetitive and standardized processes is spreading rapidly, particularly where it's easy to automate standard procedures. Routine is gradually fading away. In the representative labor surveys conducted by the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Occupational Medicine, 51% of employees still reported repetitive tasks in 2006.
In 2024, that figure had dropped to just 42%. Simultaneously, the percentage of employees who never experience such repetition increased from 11% to 15%.
