I'm excited to share that I received the @SSHRC_CRSH Insight Grant for a collaborative research project on work and gen AI! Our goal is to understand the experiences of workers who became unemployed as a result of the adoption of #genAI in the workplace. ubishops.ca/dr-alex-miltsov-…
Looking forward to chairing the “Sociological Perspectives on Generative AI” session tomorrow at the @csa conference—a session I’ve co-organized with Dr. Muyang Li and Dr. Zhifan Luo. #Congressh event.fourwaves.com/csa-scs-…

I asked #ChatGPT about AI taking jobs: if it "felt" responsible & had anything to say to those who lost their jobs to #AI.
It said it has no "personal feelings" & the responsibility falls on its creator, but it "empathizes" w/ affected workers! #FutureOfWork #jobloss
