Biophilia – The Next Nature Revolution
8 March 2023
This biophilia, the love of the living, is becoming increasingly significant.

Mitten im Anpassungsprozess hin zu einer postpandemischen Office-Landschaft soll diese Studie zur Zukunft des Arbeitsortes eine Orientierung bieten. Welche Entwicklungen werden durch den aktuellen Umbruch beschleunigt, welche gebremst? Welche Strukturen wurden zerstört, welche entstehen neu?

Creative through AI
How artificial intelligence can support the development of new ideas
2022
Studies suggest that we have fewer and fewer new and ground-breaking ideas, even though research investments are higher than ever. One great hope to reaccelerate the pace of innovation lies in artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, today’s leading opinion is that AI is not able to develop fundamentally new ideas on its own; but that there are ways in which AI can support humans in doing so: AI can augment human creativity.
