A Human Conversation about the Future of Work

Most conversations about AI and work start with the same question: which jobs will machines take? We want to start with a different one: what would work look like if it were designed around what people need to live well? Work is where most of us spend the bulk of our waking hours. It's where we earn a living, but also where we find purpose, build skills, make friends, and get a sense that we matter. As automation reshapes roles across every industry, leaders face a choice: use new tools mainly to cut costs and headcount, or use them to make work more meaningful, more flexible, and more humane for the people doing it. Join us for a panel discussion and refreshments during Boston Human Week, a decentralized conference designed to facilitate discussion among people, companies, and leaders who want the future to feel more human. Get a sneak peek at our panel lineup: Chris Miciek built the first fully online career center in the US in 2002 and now directs Jefferson University’s Center for Career Success. Déja White is a speaker, builder and opportunity researcher, founder of Breakroom Buddha, and creator of the AI tool, Scouta. Grace-Anna Douglas helps nonprofits and impact-driven brands turn the voices of their people into content that grows community. Gwen Wiscount is co-founder and COO of Fabrik, the go-to platform for real-world connection, and a fifth-generation entrepreneur.
