Human Experience in an AI‑Shaped World of Work

Centering lived experience in AI-enabled systems

 

Much of the global conversation about AI focuses on advancement - speed, capability, and scale. 

This ​research centers on something less visible:

how people are actually experiencing AI within real roles, real responsibility, and real working lives.

 

As AI becomes embedded in everyday decision-making, the human implications extend beyond efficiency. They influence judgement, accountability, professional identity, and long-term economic participation.

Why this matters

 

AI is already shaping how opportunity is distributed, how performance is evaluated, and how decisions are made across industries.

Yet many discussions around AI adoption rely on assumptions about human adaptation rather than direct insight into lived experience.

This survey gathers perspectives across career stages, leadership levels, and sectors to better understand:

  • How people are working alongside AI today

  • Where strain, uncertainty, or opportunity is emerging

  • How longer life spans intersect with shorter role cycles

  • What support structures enable responsible and inclusive AI integration

 

The goal is not to measure technology.
It is to understand the human experience within it.

As AI systems scale globally, understanding human adaptation at the ground level becomes critical to designing responsible and sustainable AI integration.

Who this is for

 

This survey is intended for:

  • Professionals working in AI-enabled environments

  • Leaders making AI-informed decisions

  • Advisors, consultants, and educators observing workforce shifts

  • Individuals navigating transitions in AI-shaped labor markets

 

No technical expertise is required.

Participation Details

​​

  • The survey is anonymous

  • It takes approximately 5–7 minutes

  • Responses are analyzed in aggregate

If you are living or leading through AI-enabled change, your perspective matters.

This work reflects decades of experience leading organizations, supporting people through change, and exploring how technology reshapes work, judgment, and opportunity. It spans research, writing, coaching, and the development of human-centered tools — including Clara — all grounded in lived experience and a commitment to helping people find a way forward through change.
