AI is transforming the workplace — but is it working for workers?

June 30 | Automating Mental Tasks: How AI Is Changing Work Activities, Employee Skills & Well-Being Risks

Tahira Probst (WSU) examines the real risks AI poses — from work intensification to surveillance and algorithmic insecurity — and offers a practical framework for advocating for worker-centered AI design.

Both sessions run 12:00–1:30 PM PT and are free to attend. Get your tickets today: https://loom.ly/2l8hX24
