Most conversations about AI and work start with the same question: which jobs will machines take? We want to start with a different one: what would work look like if it were designed around what people need to live well?

Work is where most of us spend the bulk of our waking hours. It's where we earn a living, but also where we find purpose, build skills, make friends, and get a sense that we matter. As automation reshapes roles across every industry, leaders face a choice: use new tools mainly to cut costs and headcount, or use them to make work more meaningful, more flexible, and more humane for the people doing it.

Join us for a panel discussion and refreshments during Boston Human Week, a decentralized conference designed to facilitate discussion among people, companies, and leaders who want the future to feel more human.

Get a sneak peek at our panel lineup:

Chris Miciek built the first fully online career center in the US in 2002 and now directs Jefferson University’s Center for Career Success.

Déja White is a speaker, builder and opportunity researcher, founder of Breakroom Buddha, and creator of the AI tool, Scouta.

Grace-Anna Douglas helps nonprofits and impact-driven brands turn the voices of their people into content that grows community.

Gwen Wiscount is co-founder and COO of Fabrik, the go-to platform for real-world connection, and a fifth-generation entrepreneur.

Jashin Lin is founder and CEO of Growbie, a bootstrapped seven-figure business that has served 7,000 customers.

This event is part of Boston Human Week 🌟

Human Week (Nov 9–13) is a week of conversations across Boston about how we build a future that puts people first: AI, education, work, care, cities, and everything in between. Hosted by all kinds of humans, in all kinds of rooms.
