What’s Missing—Work or Workers?

Interview with Florian Butollo

„Das knappe Arbeit” is the title of Florian Butollo’s new book. According to the longtime WZB researcher, now a visiting scholar in the Globalization, Work, and Production research group, not work is the scarce resource, but workforce. Butollo predicts that there will be too much work for too few workers; and AI is contributing to this trend. He explains this provocative thesis in a conversation with Gabriele Kammerer (in German).
