“AI reshaping work practices”

The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the future of work has been the subject of extensive discussion for some time. However, much of this discourse remains speculative, and there is still limited deep empirical understanding of how AI is substantively transforming work practices. Drawing on a series of ethnographic research projects, Marleen Huysman presents insights from her research group into the tangible ways in which work is evolving as AI is integrated into organizational contexts—highlighting, in particular, the often unforeseen consequences for knowledge-intensive labor. She places special emphasis on the potential long-term implications of generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT and Midjourney, for the social dynamics within organizations.
