[Air-L] [Call for Participants] The Future of Work: Making AI Work for the Many - Register by 26 August

[Anastasia Siapka]

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to invite you to a 2-hour online session on *AI and the Future
of Work*, which I will be leading on *September 9* (15:00-17:00 CEST) via
Zoom. If you’re interested in not only the visions we should be avoiding
when it comes to the future of work but also the ones we should be striving
towards, feel free to join and share your perspectives or research findings.

The session will take the form of an interactive but structured discussion.
Rather than a top-down event with speakers, panels and the like, the goal
is to have a democratic exchange of ideas with participants from
different (academic/professional/other) backgrounds. Participants’ insights
will be visualised in the form of a knowledge map on the Hunome
<https://www.about.hunome.com/>platform and will be published in a brief
follow-up report.

Key questions we will focus on:

   - *Desirable alternatives:* What would a positive, flourishing vision
   for the future of work look like? What would (meaningful) work and leisure
   entail in such a vision?
   - *Conditions:* What kinds of personal/societal transformation and what
   sorts of individual/collective virtues would be needed to bring this vision
   to life? What would such a vision imply for our freedoms, rights, and
   communities?
   - *Role of AI:* To what extent could AI work for the flourishing of the
   many, rather than the few? How could it facilitate or, conversely, hinder
   positive visions about the future of work? How could it enhance or deprive
   us of what makes us distinctly human?

More information and registration are available through this form
<https://forms.office.com/e/AQ1UvF2nZQ>. The deadline to register is
Monday, *26 August*.

I look forward to your participation and engaging with you at the session!
If you have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to reach out
