I'm excited to share that my first op-ed was published last week! Given my interest in labor history, I felt compelled to chime in on the discourse surrounding artificial intelligence and its potential impact on the workforce. In this piece, Omar Ocampo and I argue that the real issue with AI isn't the future threat of job displacement, but rather how AI is already being weaponized to intensify workplace surveillance. The dominant narrative surrounding AI is often little more than propaganda, obscuring the fact that these technologies are being integrated squarely within the existing social relations of capitalism.

While AI has the potential to make life easier for workers, it can only do so if its integration is brought under the control of those who actually do the work.

How do you see AI impacting your work environment? I invite you to join the conversation. You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gnvgYqhk
