About Future of Work Lab
Work is changing faster than we can name it. AI, automation, and shifting expectations are rewriting what it means to show up every day.
Future of Work Lab (Notes) is my public-facing research notebook: essays, notes, and working ideas exploring the landscape of AI + work as it evolves. I’m not here to predict the future—I’m here to make sense of what’s changing, surface better questions, and share what I’m learning along the way.
How it Started
This grew out of my research on AI, work, and human experience. Before that, I spent two decades as a designer and artist, exploring how emerging technology reshapes the way we create, interact, and connect.
Future of Work Lab is where those threads meet: a place to think in public and invite others into the conversation.
About Me
I’m Eric P. Rhodes, a researcher, designer, and artist. My work spans human-centered design and emerging tech, and I hold a master’s degree in labor and employment relations (Rutgers University). I’m interested in the second‑order effects of AI at work—trust, agency, meaning, and organizational dynamics—not just productivity.
Where it’s Going
This is a living notebook. Over time, I hope it becomes a small community of people who care about building a future of work that works for humans—by design, not by default.
