After welcoming addresses by Prof. Dr. Sascha Stowasser, Prof. Dr. Ina Schieferdecker and Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, a roundtable discussion was held on shaping the working world in the Rhenish textile and lignite region with the help of artificial intelligence. The moderator and futurologist Kai Gondlach and his guests, Prof. Dr. Sascha Stowasser, Prof. Dr. Thomas Gries, Prof. Dr. Alexander Ferrein, Dr. Peter Janßen and Ingo Kufferath, addressed the hopes and fears associated with artificial intelligence.

Work and AI - a future perspective that holds both enormous potentials and fears and uncertainties for the textile industry, for companies as well as for their employees. AI will change human work. It will also create considerable opportunities in the working world of the future, for relief, further training and innovation. Because working with AI is not a technology-driven fate; rather, there is considerable potential for shaping it. This is where WIRKsam comes in. We develop innovative work and process flows with artificial intelligence in three fields of action that regional companies see as significant:

  • Knowledge: secure & transfer
  • Processes: plan & make flexible
  • Quality: secure & increase.

In a participatory approach, we develop customised work systems and strengthen the competitiveness and innovative capacity of regional companies
