WIRED launches an AMA on AI in the workplace — ask your question
WIRED is launching a live stream about AI in the workplace. On May 27, experts will answer your questions about how AI is changing careers and the labor market.
An expert panel from WIRED will host a live stream discussing how AI is transforming the labor market. This is your chance to ask pressing questions directly to specialists who track the evolution of technology and its impact on work.
What People Are Concerned About
Uncertainty is growing in the labor market. What specialties will be needed in a year? How do you retrain if your profession is moving to AI? Will workers compete with machines or collaborate with them? What new professions will emerge? WIRED has assembled an expert panel to discuss these questions live, not in the form of articles. It seems everyone has similar questions, but answers are often contradictory. Some talk about retraining, others about a complete market reorientation. That's why gathering specialists in one broadcast makes sense — you can hear multiple perspectives and ask clarifying questions.
Topics typically raised:
- Impact of AI on salaries and specialist demand
- Retraining and new skills for a new market
- How companies adapt workflows with AI assistants
- Labor regulation and worker protection from mass layoffs
- Examples of professions already changing (design, programming, copywriting)
- Human and AI collaboration instead of replacement
How and When to Participate
The live stream will take place on May 27. Questions are being accepted right now — you can submit them through a form on the publication's website. This is not just passive viewing: moderators will select the most interesting and sharp questions, read them on air, and experts will answer. There's a real chance you'll hear an answer to your specific question from people who study this field professionally.
The format is a live stream (broadcast), which means real dialogue: questions arrive in real time, experts see them and respond spontaneously, not from pre-prepared scripts. This format is usually more honest — you can hear a factually accurate answer, not a politically correct one.
Why This Is Relevant Right Now
AI tools have become not the future, but the present: ChatGPT, Claude, and others are working in offices around the world. Designers generate illustrations with neural networks, programmers write code with Copilot, marketers generate ideas and copy. But most people don't fully understand what this means for their career in the medium term. There's an impression that information is either too optimistic ("AI will be your assistant") or too panicked ("everyone will lose their jobs"). We need information from people who study this seriously, not popular predictions.
"People don't want to know about AI's future in general, but about
their own future specifically," — this is the essence of interest in interactive formats like AMAs.
What This Means
The event format (live broadcast, audience questions) is becoming a tool for making sense of technological change. WIRED recognizes that the topic is critical, and a platform for dialogue is needed right now — when people are trying to apply AI to their careers, but first-hand information is insufficient.
