As a Distinguished research fellow of the Institute for Ethics in AI (Oxford University) Isabelle Ferreras co-authored this piece « Current AI Challenges to the Future(s) of work » with Jeremias Adams-Prassl (Professor of Law and Associate Dean, Faculty of Law; Senior research associate of the Institute for Ethics in AI, Oxford University), Sharon Block (Professor of Practice and Executive Director, Center for Labor and a Just Economy, Harvard Law School, Harvard University) and Michelle Miller (Director of Innovation, Center for Labor and a Just Economy at Harvard Law School).

This new blog post for the Oxford Institute for Ethics in AI examines the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on labor. It examines the rise of algorithmic management, highlighting the risks of worker exploitation, intensified surveillance, and systemic inequalities. The authors advocate for democratizing AI development and deployment, emphasizing ethical integration that centers worker rights, transparency, and fairness. Through the choice of title for this piece,« Future(s) of Work, » the authors wish to insist on the fact that no trajectory of AI development and deployment in the workplace is inevitable. They join calls for proactive rethinking of workplace technologies, inclusive and democratic governance to shape equitable and pluralistic futures of work grounded in the study of current hopeful developments that they survey across the EU and the US.
