Outline

The Global Partnership on AI (GPAI), established in June 2020, is an international initiative for the responsible development and use of AI based on the concept of “human-centered.” The GPAI has several working groups, one of which discusses the “Future of Work.” As part of this group’s project, an international interview survey is being conducted around the world to find out how our work will change as AI is introduced into the workplace. One of the unique methods of this survey is that the students who will be responsible for the future are interviewing the companies and organizations.

At this event, following the survey report last year, we will introduce an overview of the survey conducted this year. Inviting students and faculty members who joined in this year’s project to share their observations on “future of work” through the survey, we also discuss the possibilities and challenges of the methodological aspects. We would like to discuss future developments of the survey with companies, organizations, and students who are interested in this work.

The Global Partnership on AI (GPAI), established in June 2020, is an international initiative dedicated to the responsible development and use of AI based on a “human-centric” approach. The GPAI has several working groups, including the “Future of Work” working group. As part of its project, the “Observation Platform of AI at the Workplace,” the GPAI is conducting interviews around the world on how our ways of working are changing. One of the unique aspects of the interviews was that students who will be responsible for the future conducted interviews with companies.

At this event, we presented an overview of the survey conducted this year, following the 2021 survey, and invited the students and faculty who participated in the actual interviews to discuss the “future of work” and the possibilities and challenges of the survey methodology as revealed by the survey.
