With AI tools now integrated into everything from hiring systems and team collaboration platforms to strategic decision-making processes, there’s a pressing need to move beyond either fear or hype. AI in the Workplace explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping organizational life, often in ways that are subtle yet deeply consequential. This book answers that need by providing an accessible, critical, and often humorous guide for understanding what AI is, how it works, and what it means for the ways we work and interact in professional settings. AI in the Workplace demystifies AI through a blend of theory, storytelling, and practical insight. Readers are introduced to foundational AI concepts without overwhelming technical detail and are given frameworks to think through pressing questions of algorithmic management, workplace surveillance, bias, and ethics. Through contemporary case studies, real-world examples, reflective exercises, and actionable strategies, the book equips readers to think critically and act thoughtfully in the evolving AI landscape, whether that means embracing tools, resisting trends, or something in between.
