This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $242,907 in funding to Syracuse University from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030. The project investigates the impact of generative artificial intelligence on worker productivity, job satisfaction, and skill development in the American workforce. The research consists of three interconnected studies: 1) a two-wave panel survey of 1,500 workers to analyze perceptions of generative AI's impacts, 2) semi-structured interviews and an online deliberative workshop with 40 workers to develop an in-depth understanding of worker perceptions, and 3) a two-wave panel study to understand how high school students navigate uncertainty around the future of work when deciding on additional education or careers. The educational aspect of the project expands course offerings on AI and the future of work and creates a research collective to support student, postdoc, and faculty collaborations. The public engagement component involves organizing workshops to produce educational resources and disseminating research findings through public-facing reports, op-eds, and events.
