Workshop 1: Human-AI Collaboration in Transition: Understanding Work, Agency, and Stewardship in the Age of Generative and Agentic AI
All Tech Is Human (ATIH), in partnership with the Notre Dame-IBM Tech Ethics Lab, will host a workshop series focused on perceptions, adoption, and experience with Agentic AI systems across the workforce. Led by Jen Weedon, ATIH Braintrust member, this series aims to surface both strategic and lived insights from across organizational levels, generating a more holistic set of data points to inform responsible research and practice in the enterprise space.
Our full-day workshop on Human-AI Collaboration in Transition: Understanding Work, Agency, and Stewardship in the Age of Generative and Agentic AI is being held in person in Manhattan for gathering of fifty mid-level professionals from a broad range of backgrounds and disciplines.
These individuals represent the lived experience of the AI transition; those who may be currently navigating or anticipating significant changes in their daily workflows due to foundation models and/or agentic systems. This session is dedicated to surfacing the ground-level realities of human-AI collaboration, identifying the frictions of transition, and surfacing strategies that may empower the workforce rather than displace it.
The workshops will explore how different types of organizations are approaching Agentic AI - from those whose systems are already deployed, to those preparing for rollout, to those still in exploratory phases. By comparing lived experiences with Agentic AI to expectations across roles and organizational contexts, the workshop series will surface concerns, decision-making realities, and unintended consequences. The goal is to understand better the dynamics shaping acute and sustained adoption, governance, and the cascading effects on the workforce.
