How might AI shape how we work together in 2036?

About

This is an open workshop for anyone interested in how AI might change the ways we work together as humans. We seek to bring together a range of professional, educational and lived experiences: from people working with AI and other digital technologies to those working with organisations, teams, leadership, creativity, learning and collaboration in different forms.

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our working lives, it is changing not only what we do, but potentially how we work together. What might this mean for relationships and trust at work? For how we communicate, coordinate, share knowledge, create together and make decisions? And what early signs of these changes can we already see around us, in our work, our teams, our organisations and in the world at large? To kick off the workshop, we’re inviting three researchers and practitioners to share shifts they are seeing in human collaboration at work, signals of change they are curious about, and questions they think we should be paying attention to as AI becomes more present in our organisations and everyday work.

In the workshop part, you’ll learn about and practice identifying and using one of the core elements of foresight: signals of change. Side-by-side with people from different fields and backgrounds, we will share and map observations of how human-to-human collaboration at work is already changing as a result of AI use and explore where these changes could take us over the coming ten years.

Participation is free of charge, but seats are limited. The workshop will be held in English.
