We are looking forward to seeing you at the PDW: Reimagining Creative and Knowledge Work in the Age of Generative AI that will be held at Sheraton: Mayfair on Sunday, August 11, 2024, from 8 am to 10:30 am.
Overview
In an era shaped by the transformative influence of generative AI, this interdisciplinary workshop aims to explore the coevolution of human ingenuity and technological advancement. Designed for scholars across diverse fields such as information systems, organizational behavior, strategy, and technology and innovation management, this workshop seeks to unpack the impacts of generative AI on the creative processes and practices of knowledge work. The objectives encompass fostering creativity by transcending traditional knowledge boundaries, synthesizing a deeper understanding of generative AI's potential in sculpting present and future knowledge work landscapes. Hereby, we seek to cultivate critical discourse around advanced toolsets for designing and navigating AI-integrated work environments and building a network of multidisciplinary thought leaders for rich dialogue and potential research collaborations focused on the multi-layered implications of generative AI in creative and knowledge work. Through an innovative blend of panel presentations and roundtable discussions, complemented by interactive activities, case studies, and demonstrations, the workshop offers a dynamic exploration of the interconnected components of the creative and knowledge work ecosystem including task and workflow design, where human ingenuity converges with generative AI capabilities, serving as a catalyst to reimagine the future of creative and knowledge work.
