Generative AI: Shaping Work and Tasks

Although it’s too soon to know all of the ways artificial intelligence will shape our future, we have seen recent trends within certain industries. “Generative AI: Shaping Work and Tasks,” looks at the potential impacts generative AI could have within spaces like education, marketing, and journalism. Recognizing that jobs in a contemporary workplace consist of multiple responsibilities, we consider the exposure of different kinds of tasks to generative AI. You will explore the potential for AI augmentation or replacement of workers’ tasks to shape aspects of their jobs, while also examining some domains that are likely to remain distinctly human endeavors. By thinking through these factors, this course will provide you with a framework for conceptualizing the implications of AI in your workplace.

This is the second course in “Navigating Disruption: Generative AI in the Workplace,” a course series on ways to respond to new advances in artificial intelligence in the workplace and our lives.
