Its being coordinated by cost in my a co founder of berlin consultancy, interpreting to together with the university of minster. Almost 50 companies from various sectors are taking part you helped with is one major motivation of cost is the shortage of skilled work. Its. Ive been beat safin. Companies are trying to figure out how can we keep outlook is happy even stated, how can we make the workload more manageable and also reduce the number of sick days or 10 types targeted on how can we feel job openings better as im more quickly bestsellers. Net opposites. Studies from other countries such as britain confirmed that the 4 Day Work Week has many benefits, sick days were reduced by 20 percent. And in some cases, productivity actually increased other things having diesel business. As we did see however, that compared to gemini, the industry and trade sexes were under represented, seated on a hill. So thats one of the things were trying to remedy with this german test.

An Artificial Intelligence was gaining ground in the workplace. So as a guy coming to steal our jobs, to from catching images, to help with your homework. Artificial intelligence is changing how we live today. But this is just the beginning. Hey, i is always what was impossible yesterday. Join us andrew. This is a star on germanys a, ive seen it started to receive more than 500000000 euros and investment commitments. Hes working on an administrative, a application thats intended to allow Office Workers to find their documents and data in a snap and never have to dig their way through mountains of paperwork to get who was suspended. I hope that in a few years what it looks like that todays office look much like we look back at the heavy manual labor. The Industrial Revolution made obsolete when we met and say what a horrible in human building that was. So it made people depress, assuming caused all sorts of problems. And i believe we can make a change of joyces bus. A, i like googles when the air is already making a seemingly impossible reality, creating realistic looking images out of thin air and fakes some using others dangerous. But what is Artificial Intelligence . Exactly . I d systems that exhibit intelligent human like behavior. So will a, i put us out of work. Europe has a shortage of skills labor. So theres plenty of jobs to go around. But Office Workers, administrators, and lawyers who lose their jobs to a i might not be all of that came to work inspectors where theres a shortage like care work for manual trades, the a i as a place to transform our economy. And thats not all these are taking, this technology will, must, at least in the way future generations think and learn the pennsylvania of a sort of. Busy where the technology is being developed, and according to what standards is key. Europeans started for getting more financing, but its still peanuts compared to what us competitor open a i is raking in for example. And theres no putting a number on investment in china, a country thats determined to be a leader in the field clock. And she know because sure, and china are a startup, its getting state support or just behind the data pace for the entire population. And thats that help. But overall, the us in china are ahead because that benefiting from determination, under major capital and fusion was a cause and capitana policy. As for europe, it does have plenty of conventions, conferences and a growing number of new business concepts. And what fascinates me the most right now is the prospect of using generate evey. I like touch the bt and all the other systems and linking them to other technologies to look into whats gone on. That theres a real treasure trove of possibilities. Ive only just begun to explore this a campus in berlin instead and exploring those options. Brimming with high tech security. The campus is home to start a 14 next generation a application. And the infrastructure allow small and mid site start us to test their demo versions here. This one, for example, kind of identify nearby objects in 5 years. People will not primarily talk about, okay, im building any i company anymore. But just all the different applications, products that are out there are enabled by a i, they call it cheese. In 2027, europes largest innovation park, for Artificial Intelligence set to go online and the city of highland and southwestern germany in partnership with us and told us as of alpha. And our final question is a dangerous you said so, so every tool can be dangerous, so i invite for one because a tool that gives a super powers also gives a super powers that we shouldnt really have any shots. Thats true. The criminals, as well as to tell that tell, reinstates any tool could fall and the crush my foot. It has to be used incorrectly and then do damage. The e. U is already planning for this brave new world and has proposed new regulations for the future. A part official intelligence babies are adorable, and babies represent the future consumer spending, economic growth, the workforce, robust 1st rate communion, economic boom. That is a high birth rate. Always a good thing. Are there limits to growth . And the number of people our planet can support their own more people on the planet than ever before. But in recent years, the birth rate has be slowing down. In 1950, the global population was 2 and a half 1000000000 over the next 4 decades, the global population doubled. But now its projected to peak and 2080 at about 10000000000. Why is that . Its the kind of expected development in most places because you kind of make developments higher buttons ation increasing education, especially for women places facilitate like higher for to the parents are expected to experience the concept for to the day because the modem can, i think lifestyle is simply not compatible in most places for most people is having many kids. The global fertility rate is currently at 2. 00, meaning that women give birth to an average of just over 2 children. And at, for goods the birth rate is over for children for women. While in australia, latin america and asia, the average is about to the north america and europe have the lowest fertility rates. Some east Asian Countries have unusually low birth rates, including korea, japan, and even china. In 2015, china scrap this one child policy. But chinese couples are no longer keen on having large families to the china has about 1400000000 people. Rule. What the good job of china is for 2 of you right, remain stable. Each woman would have 1. 00 children on average. Number google and that would mean china is population would drop to about 1100000000 5205390 1000000 by 2100. 0, yeah. And i mean, yeah. So the, your study in china is demographic problem. Its aging, society would go worse. Heres what should the do a suitable for you. So the jack b give china is population decreases even faster than expected. It could see some massive labor shortage and plummeting economic growth. But many Young Chinese couples are remaining childless. For financial reasons, for friendship, which i did, senior senior china is use Unemployment Rate right now is very high. Yeah. Yeah. Young people are having difficulty just supporting themselves. No, sir, its impossible for them to start a family or raise children to whats going on. And this is why china is marriage rate is also very low these days. The number of marriages in 2023 was half of what it was in 2013. So people are reluctant to have children and are even reluctant to get married. The concerns about Financial Security are now having an impact on family planning, but the Younger Generation has other worries to contend with. Like the environment and climate change. The child Free Movement is catching on. We shouldnt be having kids as a society. We shouldnt be having children. Well theyre still children and really Climate Department change just kind of a nail in the coffin of the argument. But yeah, not having children means that our children wont suffer and they wont be competing with other children who are already suffering for resources during your climate crisis. So yeah, it pays off a double in that sense. We may need child list for ecological reasons is a radical choice. The bit could benefit the environment, but would also pose new challenges to economic development. The never been able in Human History to generate growth with such a demographic situation. So less workers, less consumers that is going to prove to be a big challenge because our entire System Health care infrastructure, taking care of the elderly, etc, is predicated upon economic growth, which has been driven largely by population but, but population decline could also make life easier for the coming generations, fewer people could also mean less competition. In these places, low population gross or declining population, you may put a lower pressure on the Housing Market and may make housing cheaper. It can also improve father employment options and agents and Job Opportunities are the smaller and smaller cohorts of people. And last but not least, also benefit some fewer humans were already depleting Natural Resources at an alarming rate. The less people means that it cannot get attention for less pollution for, for more space, for wild life and for a slot for fun on the floor. But economically, it will be a challenge to challenge, but also an opportunity. Ringback relaxing, celebrating a night out or a holiday.

Cost students are part of the fun, according to legend masks like these good drive away evil spirits. A tradition that some say dates back to pagan times over the centuries of the Christian Church claimed carnival as its own. And the festivities became increasingly elaborate and lucrative. Today its a huge money spinner. The customs alone bringing more than 200000000 euro is a year in germany. In cologne, for example, hotels are booked out and rooms cost 50 percent more than normal.
