Criss-Crossing AI With the Future of Work

In less than a year, these same scholars will be writing about the "future of labor," and given the speed of innovation, by the time these articles are published, they will be made obsolete. Based on the research recently conducted by the newly formed Stanford Digital Economy Lab, before the pandemic, in early March, remote workers represented 15% of the workforce in enterprise-level organizations. Now that number is well over 50%, and the trajectory is steepening daily as we record higher levels of infections. In this article, we will attempt to build on our current understanding of the future of work and to identify potential challenges that could arise for different demographic groups. Dropbox was the first major digitized company to announce a remote-first work environment for all of its employees.
