Event Details

This workshop combines academics and businesses to explore drivers of AI adoption for employees and for organisations.

We take an employee perspective to explore perceived benefits and potential for job crafting by both expanding and contracting scope and feature of their work. We also take the perspective of organisations to consider structural conditions needed to support and facilitate the adoption of AI in their formal and social fabric. The workshop will bring forward views from recent research and also actual emergent practices and challenges from businesses.
