Dr. Sarah Oeste-Reiß and Prof. Dr. Eva Bittner talk about the "Future of Knowledge Work" at KI-Camp 2021

On 23.02.2021 Dr. Sarah Oeste-Reiß and Prof. Dr. Eva Bittner gave a webinar on the topic "Future of knowledge work - hybridization of human and artificial intelligence".

The webinar is part of theAI Campa project of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and theSociety for Computer Science e. V.which brings together AI talents up to the age of 35 with renowned AI experts from all over the world in Berlin and in the digital space on April 27, 2021. In interactive fishbowl discussions, debating sessions and hands-on workshops, the free science convention will address transdisciplinary future issues from the fields of society, sustainability, production, science, health, mobility, art and media.

Dr. Sarah Oeste-Reiß and Prof. Dr. Eva Bittner addressed the question of how collaboration between humans and AI-based work systems can function in current and future knowledge work and what the foundations for this are with the more than 70 participants in the webinar. The junior research group leaders from the HyMeKIresearch group (www.hymeki.de) discussed current challenges and design approaches for collaborative cooperation between people and AI-based work systems in knowledge work using the HyMeKI and INSTANT research projects as examples. They emphasized the particular importance of mutual learning between humans and AI (human-in-the-loop, machine-in-the-loop) in work processes and the use of complementary strengths of humans and AI in the form of hybrid collaboration practices.

For those interested, the full webinar is available here to watch it again.
