AI and Work

The future of knowledge work may be uncertain, but we have a say in how AI reshapes our lives and livelihoods. It’s easy to feel dwarfed by the pace of technological change, to imagine that the future of work is something that happens to us, rather than something we have the power to shape.

But this perspective gives us too little credit. We have agency, as workers, voters, and participants in the economy, to advocate for frameworks that guide AI’s influence in directions that support human dignity, opportunity, and equality. Instead of letting the sheer efficiency and velocity of technology dictate our path, we can demand social and economic norms that center people alongside profit.
