The top 10 conclusions of TUW 2025
- Reducing time distress and time poverty should be one of the priorities in the era of AI, but it is not yet.
The data presented shows that time distress affects 80% of the population. - AI can not only seek efficiency, but also has to integrate quality into results, well-being, and promote equitable use of time.
- AI would have to perform those tasks that humans do not want to spend time on, freeing up time
for creative and personal activities. - AI does not exponentially increase business productivity. When performing complex tasks,
a lot of time is often wasted detecting and correcting errors. - In the digital era, regulation and collective bargaining are key to healthy and equitable working time arrangements.
- The digital acceleration we are experiencing is challenging the timing and pace of democratic processes,
such as deliberation and consensus-building, which require a slower pace. - We need to praise slowness and slow down the fast pace of our times by going on a digital diet.
- Time policies are key tools for ensuring well-being and equality in the digital era. To encourage their creation,
resources have been presented to Catalan municipalities and research teams working on time use. - Time policies, such as the ‘Little Ciba’ and ‘Concilia’ projects, work and improve the lives of beneficiaries.
- Sant Boi de Llobregat has been chosen as the World Capital of Time Policies 2026 for its long career
in time policies, which began in 2011.
