What If Robots Designed Your Office?

#artificialintelligence

We all know work is changing thanks to technology -- how we interact with colleagues, how we communicate, and the tools we use are all developing at a whiplash-inducing pace. But according to architect and designer Jennifer Magnolfi, when it comes to how tech is changing office life, we haven't seen anything yet. As Magnolfi explained to the audience at a recent Google re:Work event, she has a bit of an unusual specialty. She studies advanced, futuristic workspaces such as submarines, hacker spaces or robotics labs, where human workers rely heavily on cutting-edge technology and are innovating how people and machines interact. These aren't your typical workers, Magnolfi concedes, but she believes their experience today is a window into the workspaces more of us will experience in the future.
