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 (anastasia [dot] siapka [at] kuleuven [dot] be). Kind regards, Anastasia Siapka FWO PhD Fellow, KU Leuven Centre for IT & IP Law <https://www.law.kuleuven.be/citip/en/>
