Abstract
Historically, the use of technology in organizations has reshaped the nature of human work. In this article, we overview how current waves of artificially intelligent (AI) technologies are following this trend, showing how its uses can both automate and complement human labor, alongside creating new forms of human work. However, AI can also generate both upsides and downsides for workers' experiences, which are dependent upon a range of factors such as how the technology is used and the support employees receive during digital transitions. We conclude by outlining how AI literacy and other human-centered skills will play an increasingly important role in future workplaces.
