The WorkerTech Podcast - Episode 1: The nature of work

  • 27:25
  • January 7th 2019

This Tech for Good Live podcast is a three-part series about WorkerTech, made in conjunction with our friends at Bethnal Green Ventures.

In this first episode we explore what WorkerTech is and why we should care about it. We question whether the very nature of work is changing due to technology, and find out what real-world effect artificial intelligence and automation are having on workers in the UK.

Throughout this series we spoke to Dan Tomlinson from the Resolution Trust, Linda Wickstrom from Accenture, Fabian Wallace-Stephens from the Royal Society of Arts, Unman Mohamed from Organise, Guy Levin from Uber, Duncan McCann from the New Economic Foundation, Rachel Carey from Zinc and of course, Jessica Stacey from Bethnal Green Ventures.
