Artificial Intelligence and the Extended Workday New research from Goizueta’s Wei Jiang reveals AI exposure can actually extend the workday instead of shortening it. Read more.

Many conversations about AI focus on jobs it might replace or how much time it could save in the workplace. Research by Wei Jiang of Goizueta Business School suggests AI might be doing the opposite: extending the workday.

Please join us on Wed, Oct 29 at Emory University for our annual #AIAINetwork 🍂Fall Kickoff Event🍂
Featuring a conversation with Drs. Carl DiSalvo, Lauren Klein, Brandeis Marshall, and Dan Sinykin, and a roundtable with our 2024–25 Seed Grant Awardees moderated by Dr. André Brock.
See you there!
