The Office Reset Ayesha Salim

ChatGPT, Bing, and Bard are playing good chatbot assistants right now. But how should we be thinking about the ramifications of this technology? I chat with Pengcheng Shi, professor and director at Rochester Institute of Technology. We cover university policy, universal basic income, job impacts, quantum computing, and other topics.

In the second episode of a two-part series, I chat with space lawyer Jonathan Lim and research director AJ Link about protecting human rights in space and that famous Skylab 4 strike. 

In this episode, I chat with space lawyer Michelle L.D. Hanlon, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Space Law and president of the National Space Society about what laws that will govern humans on Mars and what it will take for humans to work successfully in space. We also wonder — how will Elon Musk govern Mars if he reaches it first?

Screenshots, keypad tracking, automated warnings...workplace surveillance is rising in popularity. But what does this mean for employee wellbeing and is there a middle ground? My guests are Lewis Maltby, president and founder of the National Workrights Institute and David Tomczak, I-O psychology doctoral candidate at The George Washington University.

Remote working has mostly been blamed for stifling creativity. But the pandemic has created other stressors, which can lead to negative behaviours. In this episode we examine malevolent creativity. My guest is Roni-Reiter Palmon, professor of industrial/organisational psychology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

In part 1 of this series, we discussed how avatars could increase presence in the office. This concluding part discusses how avatars could boost creativity, productivity and push other company goals too  - depending on how avatars are represented. 
My guest is Professor Rabindra (Robby) Ratan, associate professor and AT&T Scholar at Michigan State University’s Department of Media and Information.
