The Guardian launches year-long reporting initiative exploring AI, work and power
New US-led series, Reworked, centers workers’ experiences as artificial intelligence reshapes the workplace
The Guardian launched a sweeping new editorial series on Tuesday examining how artificial intelligence is transforming work and power across the United States and around the world. The year-long reporting project, Reworked, will place workers – not tech executives or abstract forecasts – at the center of one of the defining economic shifts of our time.
Building on the Guardian’s distinctive coverage of technology’s human impact, the series will interrogate the binary narrative about AI that dominates public discourse – that it will either usher in mass joblessness or pose little to no threat at all – and document how millions of Americans across industries are already working with, or being managed by, AI-driven systems, including how those systems are reshaping their livelihoods, agency and futures in real time.
