Abstract
Knowledge is the greatest raw material. To build a secure future, you need knowledge, skills, to network, and to get involved in the new. Digitization with the technological and social challenges requires a rethinking and adjustment of professional qualifications at the same time. More than half of 70% of the open AI positions in companies are currently unfilled. This high number describes the dilemma and the challenges for the teaching and training of tomorrow. Are we ready for the technological challenges of tomorrow? There is significantly high potential for diverse teams staffing the STEM fields with more female specialists and fully using specialist knowledge and personal qualifications of men and women to ensure gender-independent decision-making structures in human-technology interaction and use diversity as key for reaching sustainable goals and set milestones in the digital era. The foundation for diversity, inclusion, and sustainable digital innovations can only be ensured by adjusted education and academic training.
