Commerce 10 : Work in the Age of AI: Home

The world of work is changing. Artificial intelligence and automation will make this shift as significant as the mechanization in prior generations of agriculture and manufacturing.

This regularly updated collection of articles draws together our latest perspectives on the future of work, workforce, and workplace.

AI took a major leap with Generative AI and its ability to disrupt the way we work because of its ability to create content that profoundly supports human expertise and skills. The examples of Generative AI use cases by industry are boundless and illustrate the breadth of work that can be augmented using Generative AI. Ideally, Generative AI can bolster innovation, productivity, and outcomes while making work easier for people.

Opinion - AI and you: building the workplace of the future.
As our relationship with artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve as quickly as the technology itself, employees, managers and leaders alike are having to come to grips with a rapidly changing workplace environment.
