Work in the Age of Intelligent Machines: Key Dilemmas for the Information Community

The workshop is over, but you can read the call below and see the notes from the workshop on Google Docs here:

This half-day workshop at the iConference in University Park, MD, aims to promote discussion and disciplinary convergence on the topic of work in the age of intelligent machines. The use of intelligent machines-- digital technologies that feature data-driven forms of customization, learning, and autonomous action-- is rapidly growing and has and will continue to impact a number of industries and domains. The iSchool community is uniquely situated in this landscape as a community of researchers, educators, and practitioners with a tradition of studying, supporting, and educating professionals working at the nexus between people, information, and technologies. This workshop aims to answer three questions: 1) what is new about intelligent machines today and how are they changing the nature of work; 2) how do these issues impact the iSchool community specifically; and 3) what should a forward-facing agenda for the iSchool community on the topic of work in the age of intelligent machines include? This workshop builds on an ongoing NSF Research Coordination Network (RCN) (NSF 17-45463, ). If interested in the workshop please submit a short position papers (approx. 500 words in length) describing your background, current work, and relevance/interest in the workshop’s topic .
