Carl Benedikt Frey forscht zu KI und Arbeit. In dieser Folge spricht er darüber, warum sich oft Höherqualifizierte gegen KI im Job einsetzen.

The fear of AI taking our jobs has been buzzing for years, but it's not a new conversation. Technology has been shaking up industries and displacing workers since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.In this episode, Greg sits down with Carl Benedikt Frey, the Dieter Schwarz Associate Professor of AI & Work at the Oxford Internet Institute, to dive deep into these shifts. As the Director of the Future of Work Programme and author of The Technology Trap, Frey sheds light on the historical and current impacts of automation, the Industrial Revolution, and the role of political power in technological progress. Together, they explore who wins and loses in the AI era and what history can teach us about the future. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Will AI drive long-term productivity or just short-term automation?46:21: If all that AI is about is automation, then the future of productivity simply depends on the potential scope of automation, so to speak, and that will then eventually peter off. Whereas if it's about creating new tasks, new products, and new innovations, then it can be more sustained, right? And I think that's a key reason that the second industrial revolution lasted for a very long period of time: it created a host of entirely new types of economic activities. And so I think a key question going forward is: can we design our institutions to help make sure that AI is more being used to create new activities? I think it's likely to have a much more sustained impact on productivity growth going forward.Starting from the past to predict the future03:07: If you want to say that the future is likely to be very different from the past, then at the very least, I think we should be able to state why. So I think history should always be our starting point. On the race between technology and education39:18: The race between technology and education is a world in which everybody is better off, right? That has not been the case. So we need to somehow modify that model of the world, and what we've seen since the 1980s, in particular across advanced economies, but also in some emerging economies, is labor market polarization and the decline of middle-income jobs, right? And so the race between technology and education and the view of technological change does not explain that part of the story, right? That's sort of the task-based view, and things like replacing versus enabling technologies do have some explanatory power.Should we be thinking of this new revolution as being more like the first  than the second?44:22: I think it is more like the first industrial revolution. And I still think that I can't think of a single AI application that is not about automation or doing something that people are already doing a bit more productively, whether it's writing, coding, or image generation. Show Links:Recommended Resources:Engels' pauseLudditesGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Oxford Martin SchoolCarl Benedikt FreyCarl Benedikt Frey (@carlbfrey) / XHis Work:The Technology Trap: Capital, Labor, and Power in the Age of Automation

A decade ago, there were predictions that certain accounting jobs would be replaced by automation. Now, in the age of AI, we're still here and thriving. Today's conversation focuses on how we can collaborate with technology to enhance our work and deliver greater value to clients. To delve into this topic, I spoke with Andrew Hatfield, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of SafeSend, a long-time partner of MACPA. He and his team have released a paper discussing the role of AI, the importance of strengthening tech stacks in accounting firms, the shift from e-sign to e-file, the benefits of integrations and APIs, and the concept of a "single pane of glass"—a unified management console displaying data from multiple sources. Andrew and I discussed how client expectations have evolved, and how the technologies and predictions in SafeSend's paper can improve relationships between firms and their clients, as well as the CPA's role in this transformation.Resources:SafeSend paper, "Top 7 Predictions for Tax Automation in 2024" by Andrew Hatfield & teamSafeSendAndrew Hatfield LinkedIn ProfileOxford Martin School article, "The Future of Employment: How susceptible are jobs to computerisation?" by Carl Benedikt Frey & Michael OsborneThomson Reuters report, "2024 generative AI in professional services"CPA Practice Advisor article, "Most Tax Pros, Corporate and Public, Believe AI Should Be in Their Toolbox" by Isaac M.

Todas las épocas de innovación tecnológica disruptiva han traído consigo profundos cambios sociales y en el mercado de trabajo. En la revolución que estamos viviendo en la actualidad debemos utilizar nuestro sistema educativo y de bienestar para ayudar a la población a adaptarse a estas nuevas tecnologías digitales, porque si no es así, no vamos a ser capaces de adaptarnos a esta transformación, y vamos a perder no sólo puestos de trabajo, sino la sociedad tal y como la conocemos. #enlighted #ia #innovación #habilidades #tecnología Más información en: https://www.enlighted.education

Artificial Intelligence has made new inroads into areas of work that were reserved exclusively for humans: conversational interaction, pattern recognition & prediction, and writing & teaching. We discuss with Carl Benedikt Frey about the implications of AI technologies for labor market outcomes going forward. Carl Benedikt is the Dieter Schwarz Associate Professor of AI & Work at the Oxford Internet Institute and the Director of the Future of Work Program at the Oxford Martin School.

As artificial intelligence becomes more and more advanced, fears are growing about companies replacing human staff with computers. Businesses from energy providers to car makers are already using AI, but are there some jobs it can't do? Sky's science and technology editor, Tom Clarke, has tested if AI could do his job by creating an AI news reporter. On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood is joined by Tom and YouTuber and coder Kris Fagerlie to find out how they built the AI reporter. Plus, she speaks to Carl Benedikt Frey, associate professor of AI & Work at Oxford's Internet Institute, about how advancements in AI technology could change the types of tasks we do at work.

Remote work seems to be well suited for some kinds of knowledge work, but it's less clear that it's well suited for the kind of collaborative creativity that results in breakthrough innovations. A series of new papers suggests breakthrough innovation by distributed teams has traditionally been quite difficult, but also that things have changed, possibly dramatically, as remote collaboration technology has improved.This podcast is an audio read through of the (initial draft of the) post Remote Breakthroughs, originally published on New Things Under the Sun.Articles MentionedVan der Wouden, Frank. 2020.

“Occupations paying less than 20 dollars per hour are most at risk to be replaced by technology.”How do you heighten your chances of making money for rent in the future? Carl Benedikt Frey suggests creativity, social intelligence and the abilities to perceive and manipulate will be central skills. These particular skills are still proving hard to automate through Artificial Intelligence. So how do we build and strengthen these skills? Does our education system and social environments support these learning processes? Who does not have access to this type of learning? Will we even need money for rent in the future? What can we build with our creativity, if we do not need to work to pay for a place to live?

There is an inordinate amount of hype and fear around artificial intelligence these days, as a chorus of scholars, luminaries, media, and politicians nervously project that it could soon take our jobs and subjugate or even kills us off. Others are just as fanciful in hoping it is on the verge of solving all our problems. But the truth is AI isn’t nearly as advanced as most people imagine. What is the practical reality of AI today, and how should government approach AI policy to maximize its potential? To parse the hype, the hope, and the path forward for AI, Rob and Jackie sat down recently with Pedro Domingos, emeritus professor of computer science at the University of Washington and author of The Master Algorithm.Mentioned:Pedro Domingos, The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World (Basic Books, 2015).Robert D.

Technology will displace 47% of all jobs, said Dr Carl Benedikt Frey in a study he co-wrote called The Future Of Employment – a paper so influential that it's at the centre of jobs policy for governments across the world. But what will replace those jobs? Will anything replace them?In his new book The Technology Trap Dr Frey describes how the same job destruction and extremes of poverty and great wealth that took place in the Industrial Revolution are happening all over again thanks to artificial intelligence and Big Data. So how will we work in the future? Should we celebrate the end of boring, repetitive jobs? And how can we plan for jobs of tomorrow when we can't even conceptualise them?“The scale of jobs that are replaceable by technology – but that's only a part of the question”“Machines perform poorly in creative or social tasks. That's where most new jobs will be created.”Presented by Alex Andreou. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Music by Kenny Dickinson.

"Tecnología Artística" por Fede Gaumet | http://fedegaumet.com | https://willrobotstakemyjob.com/ . Podcast semanales por Youtube, Fbk+Ins @fedegaumet y mi web . En 2013, Carl Benedikt Frey y Michael A. Osborne publicaron un informe titulado "El futuro del empleo: ¿cuán susceptibles son los trabajos a la informatización?" Los autores examinan a través de una web en constante actualización implementando una metodología novedosa para estimar la probabilidad de informatización para 702 ocupaciones detalladas, utilizando un clasificador de procesos gaussiano. Según sus estimaciones, alrededor del 47 por ciento del empleo total de los Estados Unidos está en riesgo. Aunque el informe es específico para el mercado laboral de los Estados Unidos, es fácil ver cómo esto podría aplicarse en todo el mundo. Los investigadores y desarrolladores extrajeron los trabajos y la probabilidad de automatización del informe y hemos facilitado la búsqueda de su trabajo. Agregaron información adicional de la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales para proporcionar información adicional sobre los trabajos. No hay que caer en pánico ya que las estadísticas son reflejo de un proceso en marcha y la adaptación social es paulatina y lejos de toda mirada apocalíptica. Por lo tanto es necesaria un flujo de información y formación para que en el proceso no queden sectores de la sociedad relegados o fuera de la actualización laboral futura. .

The Technology Trap: Capital, Labor, and Power in the Age of Automation by Carl Benedikt Frey How the history of technological revolutions can help us better understand economic and political polarization in the age of automation From the Industrial Revolution to the age of artificial intelligence, The Technology Trap takes a sweeping look at the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society’s members. As Carl Benedikt Frey shows, the Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanization were devastating for large swaths of the population. Middle-income jobs withered, wages stagnated, the labor share of income fell, profits surged, and economic inequality skyrocketed. These trends, Frey documents, broadly mirror those in our current age of automation, which began with the Computer Revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution eventually brought about extraordinary benefits for society, artificial intelligence systems have the potential to do the same. But Frey argues that this depends on how the short term is managed. In the nineteenth century, workers violently expressed their concerns over machines taking their jobs. The Luddite uprisings joined a long wave of machinery riots that swept across Europe and China. Today’s despairing middle class has not resorted to physical force, but their frustration has led to rising populism and the increasing fragmentation of society. As middle-class jobs continue to come under pressure, there’s no assurance that positive attitudes to technology will persist. The Industrial Revolution was a defining moment in history, but few grasped its enormous consequences at the time. The Technology Trap demonstrates that in the midst of another technological revolution, the lessons of the past can help us to more effectively face the present. Carl Benedikt Frey is Oxford Martin Citi Fellow at the University of Oxford where he directs the programme on the Future of Work at the Oxford Martin School. After studying economics, history and management at Lund University, Frey completed his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition in 2011. He subsequently joined the Oxford Martin School where he founded the programme on the Future of Work with support from Citigroup. Between 2012 and 2014, he taught at the Department of Economic History at Lund University. In 2012, Frey became an Economics Associate of Nuffield College and Senior Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking, both at the University of Oxford. He remains a Senior Fellow of the Department of Economic History at Lund University, and a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA). In 2019, he joined the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on the New Economic Agenda, as well as the Bretton Woods Committee. In 2013, Frey co-authored “The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerization?”, estimating that 47% of jobs are at risk of automation. With over 5000 academic citations, the study’s methodology has been used by President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors, the Bank of England, the World Bank, as well as a popular risk-prediction tool by the BBC. In 2019, the paper was debated on the Last Week Tonight Show with John Oliver. Frey has served as an advisor and consultant to international organisations, think tanks, government and business, including the G20, the OECD, the European Commission, the United Nations, and several Fortune 500 companies. He is also an op-ed contributor to the Financial Times, Scientific American, and the Wall Street Journal, where he has written on the economics of artificial intelligence, the history of technology, and the future of work. His academic work has featured in over 100 media outlets,

In this episode, Dr. Carl Benedikt Frey discusses the relationship between technological breakthroughs and the varying responses from Labour over the long run. We discuss whether we are currently entering another 'Engel's Pause', contrasting labour replacing versus labour augmenting technologies and consider the political challenges they leave in their wake.

Dr. Carl Benedikt Frey, Oxford Martin Citi Fellow at Oxford University, tells Tonya Hall about different ways we can look back on history to predict what the future of AI looks like.

On this episode, Carl Benedikt Frey assesses the possible effects of automation on employment and economic growth in both the short and long term. The post https://www.aei.org/multimedia/carl-benedikt-frey-on-the-technology-trap/ (Carl Benedikt Frey on the technology trap) appeared first on https://www.aei.org (American Enterprise Institute - AEI).

An intriguing set of questions that is being explored by researchers across the globe and is being discussed and brainstormed in various organisations and think tanks is: “what is the future of work”; “how forthcoming AI and Automation revolution will impact on the nature and structure of work”; and “what would be the impact of these changes on the fabric of society from social, economic and political perspectives”. In a 2013 study “The Future of Employment: How Susceptible are Jobs to Computerisation?” researchers Dr Carl Benedikt Frey and Dr Michael Osborne made an important observation: about 47% jobs in the US will be lost to automation. Dr Carl Frey is the co-director of programme on technology and employment at Oxford Martin School at Oxford University. His research focuses on “how advances in digital technology are reshaping the nature of work and jobs and what that might mean for the future”. In 2016, he was named the 2nd most influential young opinion leader by the Swedish business magazine Veckans Affärer. A recent book by Dr Carl Frey presents a thorough review of the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society’s members. The title of the book is “The Technology Trap: Capital, Labour and Power in the Age of Automation”. The Industrial Revolution was a defining moment in history, but few grasped its enormous consequences at the time. This books demonstrates that the lessons of the past can help us to more effectively face the present and the forthcoming AI and automation revolution. Dr Carl Frey shows the Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanization were devastating for large swaths of the population. Middle-income jobs withered, wages stagnated, the labour share of income fell, profits surged, and economic inequality skyrocketed. These trends, Frey documents, broadly mirror those in our current age of automation, which began with the Computer Revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution eventually brought about extraordinary benefits for society, artificial intelligence systems have the potential to do the same. But Frey argues that this depends on how the short term is managed. The decisions that we make now and the policies that we develop and adopt now will have profound impact on the future of work and job market. In the nineteenth century, workers violently expressed their concerns over machines taking their jobs. The Luddite uprisings joined a long wave of machinery riots that swept across Europe and China. Today’s despairing middle class has not resorted to physical force, but their frustration has led to rising populism and the increasing fragmentation of society. As middle-class jobs continue to come under pressure, there’s no assurance that positive attitudes to technology will persist. Dr Carl Frey joins me for this episode of Bridging the Gaps. In this podcast we discuss the ideas that Dr Frey presents in this book. Before discussing the future of work, we look at the history of work and how the nature of work evolved through various ages and how did it impact the equality in the society. Dr Frey notes in his book that the age of inequality began with the Neolithic revolution; we discuss this in detail. We then discussed first and second industrial revolutions and the age of digital transformation. We also discuss the rise of politics of polarisation and finally we discuss the future of work. This has been a fascinating conversation with a thought leader, on a hugely important subject.

In this episode of Sounds Robotic, host Charles Kenny talks with Carl Benedikt Frey, co-director of the Program on Technology and Employment at the Oxford Martin School, about his fears that the wage stagnation and rocketing inequality that resulted from the first industrial revolution could be repeated thanks to the spread of automation and artificial intelligence today. 

In this episode of Keen On, Andrew talks to Carl Benedikt Frey, the co-director of the Oxford Martin Programme on Technology and Employment at the University of Oxford and author of The Technology Trap, about the similarities between the 19th century and today, what the future holds for high-skilled jobs in the age of automation, and how governments can embrace the future of technology.

Today’s travelers are looking for more personalization and convenience during their hotel stays, and hoteliers are seeking out new solutions to help meet those needs. Akia is an artificial intelligence messaging platform that allows communication between a hotel and guests and learns to anticipate guests’ needs. In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Joshua Galun, Hospitality & Travel Lead at Excella Consulting. We spoke on: How Hospitality Can Gain Competitive Advantages in Age of #AI? In the publication "The Future of Employment: How susceptible are jobs to computerization?", authors Michael Osborne and Carl Benedikt Frey estimate 47% of U.S. jobs are at "high risk" of potential automation. The fact is, any repetitive job is at risk of being replaced by machines. Even though this trend is unlikely to impact the hospitality industry in the same way, it is undeniable that replacing human interaction where it does not add any value, and increasing it where it does, is the optimum use of AI. Hoteliers should let computers analyze trends and patterns in guest behavior, so their staff can focus on the personal interactions, without the need to browse through tons of emails just to remember if Mr. Smith prefers a poolside or a streetside room. Humans should focus on what they do best and let computers do what they do best. What about having hotel staff help guests to their rooms and checking up on a personal level how the guest is doing and using that to optimize the stay, rather than entering addresses and checking credit cards and scanning passports.

Carl Benedikt Frey of Oxford University is one of the leading economists analyzing the effects of digitization on labor markets. Interviewed by Christoph Keese, Frey elaborates on one of the most controversial issues in the current political debate: Will robots and algorithms put us humans out of work? Or will digital transformation create more jobs than it destroys? Carl Benedikt walks us through empirical data and puts the heated political debate into perspective. He is optimistic about the net employment effects and expects human beings to continue working in the future. But he also predicts significant pain and problems in adaption. Many people will lose their jobs to machines without finding new jobs or equivalent pay. Carl Benedikt makes the argument for wage insurances protectting individuals against tech-driven losses of income.

Den digitala transformationen går fortare än tidigare teknikskiften. Men den sker inte över en natt. Vi har tid på oss att skaffa oss de färdigheter och kompetenser som krävs på framtidens arbetsmarknad. Det säger den ledande automatiserings- och arbetsmarknadsforskaren Carl Benedikt Frey när han gästar Futurions podcast.
