Fired by a bot? What happens when AI takes over performance reviews and layoffs

How labor leaders and workers across industries are asserting the rights and protections for human employees in the face of increasing automation.

There are a lot of variables, like timing and budget, that don’t have much to do with how good you are at your job. Still, here’s the best way to set yourself up for success.

We're taking a quick detour from our AI interview series on The New Way We Work to dig into another big issue when it comes to adapting to change at your job — ageism.

On this week’s episode of The New Way We Work, we explain how both companies and employees should prepare for a fast-paced digital transformation.

Like it or not, artificial intelligence is very likely going to be a part of your workplace reality. In fact, it might be already. And on the next several episodes of The New Way We Work, we're going to explore how AI is already changing our jobs and what we can expect in the future — both the good and the bad. New episodes every other Monday starting February 3rd.
