AI Assistant or AI Boss? w/ Data & Society

In this episode of Computer Says Maybe, host Alix Dunn speaks with Data & Society Labor Futures researchers Aiha Nguyen and Alexandra Mateescu, who recently authored Generative AI and Labor: Power, Hype, and Value at Work. They discuss how automation is now being used as a threat against workers, and how certain types of labor are being devalued by AI — especially (shocking) traditionally feminised work, such as caregiving.
