S1.23. AI and the division of labour  ft. Laura Nurski

AI and the division of Labour Artificial intelligence is reshaping the division of labour by making certain tasks more accessible while exposing others to automation. This shift is creating new learning opportunities, changing workplace dynamics, and raising questions about job security and productivity. While some roles, such as programming and content creation, are highly exposed to AI, jobs that require human empathy, ethical judgement, and creativity remain less affected. A key question, therefore, is how workers and businesses in different sectors can leverage AI to improve efficiency, while ensuring that AI enhances, rather than replaces, human expertise. Our host, Tom Parker, is joined by Laura Nurski, Associate Research Fellow and Head of the Future of Work Programme at CEPS. Together they discuss the evolving role of AI in the workplace, the risks and opportunities it presents, and how organisations can successfully integrate AI while supporting workers in an era of rapid technological change. For more on CEPS’ research on the future of work and digital transformation, and Laura Nurski’s work on AI, labour markets, and skills development, follow this link. Watch this episode here Hosted on Acast.
