AI/digitalization: Paving the way for a better world or just a turning point?
The anniversary KMU Swiss Symposium offers solutions to operational challenges and opportunities for genuine networking. This year's symposium is dedicated to current issues relating to artificial intelligence and digitalization. Around 400 participants are once again expected to attend. Renowned experts will speak on digital changes, AI challenges and their impact.
The 20th KMU Swiss Symposium will take place on Thursday, March 21, 2024 at Trafo Baden. The event will focus on the challenges of AI and digitalization and their current and future impact on our labour market and economy. The new world of work 4.0 offers both opportunities and risks for employees and the welfare state. In the best-case scenario, new work processes and occupational groups can develop thanks to AI, digitalization and automation, offering employees a wide range of opportunities to shape their own working lives. At the same time, there is a risk of a growing global concentration of data in the hands of a handful of monopolists who evade state control and taxation. Further risks lie in the loss, blurring of boundaries and consolidation of work, further acceleration, intensification and stress for everyone involved.
A number of former speakers and illustrious personalities from business and politics are expected to attend the anniversary event. "In addition to the informal atmosphere, participants appreciate the practical relevance of the presentations," says Armin Baumann, initiator of KMU Swiss. The symposium also allows many exhibitors to present themselves during the networking breaks.
AI and digitalization: key factors for technological upheaval?
The world of work and the economy are constantly changing. With the prudent introduction of new technologies and techniques, employers and employees can benefit from this change. It is important that politicians and entrepreneurs create the right and necessary framework conditions. Politicians believe they can get a grip on this with laws and regulations, which restricts entrepreneurial freedom. This corresponds to the management principle: the freedom to act! Tomorrow's world will increasingly be subject to rapid change, with innovation, flexibility and courage likely to be the key elements of a "game changing" approach.
