At the same time, technological advances are opening up new opportunities: artificial intelligence and digital assistance systems can make work more efficient and productive. While they have long been part of our everyday lives, their use in industry has so far fallen short of their potential. The Scientific Society for Work and Business Organization (WGAB) shows how innovative concepts can effectively support human work and open up new ways to strengthen competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
