Abstract

A provocative analysis of the next phase of the AI revolution and its relationship to surveillance capitalism in the workplace. Now that Big Tech has successfully capitalized on and manipulated consumer behaviors on the internet with little resistance, its focus is now shifting more intensely toward the workplace. A central tenet of the book is that the connected workplace crosses a line that previous modes of managerial oversight—namely, visual and computerized surveillance—did not. It taps into uncharted territories, raising questions about the very essence of our professional (and private) lives. A substantial portion of our lives is devoted to work, and though we have grown accustomed to being scrutinized for occasional performance appraisals, there were sacred boundaries that have been hard-won over the years—lines that employers honored: the distinction between private and business property, the separation between work and leisure time, the integrity of one's own body and mind, amongst others.
