Abstract

The debate around AI and work has focused primarily on how many jobs there will be, rather than on what the jobs will be like. This report takes up the second question, from the perspective of workers. We ask whether AI affects the conditions under which work takes place and whether work can be described as decent. We also inquire whether AI affects the nature of work and whether AI-powered work can be described as meaningful.
