Description

Is your organization focused on automating the right tasks with AI — or just the ones that seem to drive the most productivity? In this episode of Work Week, Dr. Kelly Monahan, Managing Director at The Upwork Research Institute, discusses research from Stanford University that reveals a critical disconnect between AI investments and the tasks employees actually want automated.

We explore Stanford’s four-zone framework for AI task alignment. Learn which tasks are best suited for AI delegation, how shifting skill demands are reshaping the workplace, and three practical steps to align AI investment with worker preferences.
