This course gives a broad overview of the impact that generative artificial intelligence (AI) could have on jobs and how it can be used to support everyday tasks. As the use of generative AI increases, organizations are finding new ways to augment their work, impacting the number and types of jobs we can expect in the future. In “Generative AI: Labor and the Future of Work,” you’ll explore how generative AI can support workers in all industries, as well as the labor that goes into developing and managing these systems. Explore what the “future of work” could mean for both employees and employers and how these systems can impact work quality, creativity, and the labor market. You’ll also look at how the global digital divide could impact tool adoption for different groups across the world. By analyzing the adoption and implementation of generative AI in the workplace, you will better understand how these tools could shift how we work together.
