The Future of Work in Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0

The relationship of humans and machines in an evolving work environment

Increasing digitization and advancements AI technologies are changing our workstyle. While some see a great potential for collaboration of human and artificial intelligence in the future workplace, others fear that artificial intelligence will eventually replace human work. How do Japan and Germany envision the “future of work”? In our web talk four experts from Japan and Germany share their ideas about how the relationship of humans and machines will develop in the future workplace.

This event is held instead of the German-Japanese Forum (BMBF/DWIH Tokyo), which was canceled due to the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
