Chapter Chapter 9 in The Palgrave Handbook of Change and Resilience at Work, 2025, pp 181-201 from Springer Abstract: Abstract AI is embedded in our current geopolitical economic system and shapes our priorities of using this tool and our values of humanity every day. The two authors of this chapter build on their extensive literature review about AI system, their reflections on work and humanity, and also reflections about decades of experience of using AI in health care, education, and architecture industries. The main contributions are an urgent call to generate greater awareness of the imbalanced power in the AI system and offer some education insights and future research area such that the benefits of AI can be shared by many people. It is essential to consider wider social, ethical, and political contexts for the deployment and development of AI and to reactivate the lost core humanistic values that can easily be flattened and denied in the current AI system. We believe that the choices of the present AI system will definitely affect AI on our work and humanity.
