The research project "Generative Artificial Intelligence in the World of Work" (GENKIA) is investigating the significance of generative AI for individuals, organisations and professions. It aims is to capture the experiences of workers with generative AI and to analyse possible impacts on employment and quality of work. We will also explore the conditions under which work processes can be supported by the use of generative AI.
The project is a collaboration between the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society and the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG). It is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS).
