On Feb. 23, 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 the AI Camphttps://kicamp.org/, a project of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research  (BMBF) and the Gesellschaft für Informatik e. V., which will bring together  AI talentsup to 35 years of age 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 addresses 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 the collaboration of people 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 of the webinar. To this end, the junior research group leaders of the research group HyMeKI (www.hymeki.de) discussed current challenges and design approaches for the collaborative cooperation of humans and AI-based work systems in knowledge work using the example of the research projects HyMeKI and INSTANT. Here, they emphasized the particular importance of mutual learning between humans and AI (human-in-the-loop, machine-in-the-loop) in work processes as well as a use of complementary strengths of humans and AI in the form of hybrid collaboration practices.
