@mttaggart @DAIR Thanks! We do have a two-pager on myths around genAI and productivity -- https://cdn.sanity.io/files/uvgbyd32/production/1ff4676def68effda14f2e4a4ecf545cbf060d16.pdf
@mttaggart @DAIR I would love to see it!! Happy to collaborate.
Also I liked your piece on using Claude and hating it!
As part of this Hub, we feature case studies from three initial labor partners detailing their strategies of resistance: National Nurses United, the New York Times Tech Guild, and the Ziff Davis Creators Guild. From these case studies, we learned about the diversity of tactics available to workers in the fight against AI at work and how these struggles are fundamentally tied to the broader fight for worker power, agency and dignity.

We are also releasing a new research primer, "Myths about Generative AI, Productivity, and Labor Displacement", which discusses five common myths around generative AI at work. This primer will be the first of many.
Additionally, we are building a Resource Library from partners who have been thinking about these issues for a long time, including from friends at Data + Society, the UC Berkeley Labor Center, and PowerSwitch Action.
We hope to support unions, labor organizations, and worker organizers who want to fight “AI” and automation at work. Visit https://labor.dair-institute.org for more information and to get in touch.
