​Die Studie befasst sich mit der Politik und Geschichte des Europäischen Metallgewerkschaftsbundes. Der Verband war mit zuletzt 80 Mitgliedsorganisationen und fast 6 Millionen repräsentierten Arbeitnehmern der bedeutendste Industriegewerkschaftsverband in Europa. Seine Aktivitäten haben sich gleichfalls im Zuge des europäischen Integrationsschubes der letzten Jahrzehnte in vielen Handlungsbereichen vervielfältigt und ausdifferenziert. Die Arbeit ist von der Frage geleitet, ob diese Entwicklungen den Verband von einem europäischen Interessenverband bzw. einer Lobbyorganisation nationaler Gewerkschaften zu einer transnationalen Gewerkschaftsorganisation mit eigenen Möglichkeiten und Kräften der Durchsetzung von Arbeitnehmerinteressen haben werden lassen.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution ushers into a new era of artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality, how should we respond to the societal and ethical dilemmas associated with this new age of transformative scientific power? This research highlights the need for an ethical and globally shared view on how technology affects the economic, social, cultural and spiritual aspects of daily life. With thanks to the international team of experts this book is outlining consequences of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in a broad range for business and work life, for leadership, for media and communication, for churches and for personal and family life.

The 4th Industrial Revolution from an Ethical Perspective

Artificial intelligence changes everything. This book encourages readers to consider the challenges of the digital transformation driven by Artificial Intelligence. The reader will discover why this transformation is to be regarded as the greatest cultural revolution since the invention of mass printing and how it can be shaped positively in a value-oriented way. The author pursues the thesis that intelligent objects on the internet, as well as physical objects, are attaining their own consciousness. Using many examples, he shows how these digital companions become our digital partners. This non-fiction book provides many suggestions for one's own living and working environment and is full of examples of how artificial intelligence systems can be implemented. The reader learns what is already possible today and what can be expected in the next ten to twenty years. The book is of interest to anyone interested in AI and the digital transformation - from those responsible in companies, public institutions, and in politics, to all teachers and parents who want to understand what the next generation can expect.
