SUMMARY:ITeG-Lecture: "Computation and Organization: The Future of Work and
  Worker"
DESCRIPTION:In the ITeG lecture series "Digital Society - a Design Challeng
 e", Prof. Michael Bernstein, Ph. D., will provide insights on “Computation 
 and Organization: The Future of Work and Worker” on February 10, 2020. He i
 s an Associate Professor of Computer Science and STMicroelectronics Faculty
  Scholar at Stanford University, where he is a member of the Human-Computer
  Interaction group\n\n\n\nSummary of his presentation:\n\nThe future of wor
 k is increasingly computational, raising both the possibility of dramatical
 ly new forms of organization and the specter of algorithmic worker disenfra
 nchisement. In this talk, I chart both paths. I will describe techniques th
 at articulate a future of "experts in a click", including organizations tha
 t fluidly assemble and continuously adapt their efforts. I will then turn t
 o the negative implications of this future, ranging from algorithmic wage t
 heft to systematic disempowerment of workers, and describe techniques we ha
 ve developed to steer away from those negative outcomes, including platform
 s for worker collective action, mentorship, and fair wage guarantees. Notin
 g the limits of each of these systems in effecting change, I will lay out t
 he paths that I see in front of us at the intersection of technology and po
 licy.\n\n\n\nThe lectures take place online (via Zoom). To join the Zoom Me
 eting, please find the Zoom Link and Meeting ID on the following website: w
