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.
A common narrative regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI) suggests that "AI can do many things better than us humans," "AI will render whole jobs obsolete," "AI will create entirely new jobs," and "AI makes us more efficient and saves us working time." However, in many instances, the reality is different. Many workers experience increased strain rather than less, according to Wei Jiang, an economics professor at Emory University in Atlanta, USA.
Jiang was puzzled by the contradiction between the promised productivity gains from AI and her own observed reality.
To investigate the extent to which AI is actually changing the daily work routine, and more importantly, the working hours of employees, Jiang collaborated with researchers from several other universities. By analyzing data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), the researchers found that in the United States, average working hours are increasing, not decreasing.
To provide readers with a tool to forecast their own working hours in 2027, The Handelsblatt has created a calculator based on these research findings and German labor statistics data.
