Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies are expanding rapidly. While these technologies have the potential to support different types of work in different domains, they are also disrupting all forms of labor as we know - -transforming traditional work and creating new forms of work. Among other facets of transformation, technology-mediated work shapes the visibility of the worker and their work, impacting their agency, earning, and overall occupational well-being. It is important to study and address this phenomenon because the impact of such disruptions are especially felt on the precarious, underserved, and marginalized workers. Our workshop aims to unpack the challenges that artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are creating on workers' technology-mediated work and their overall visibility by weaving together academic insights and on-ground realities.
