Ten Thousand Posts Posting On Company Time ft. Craig Gent
Novara Media's North of England Editor Craig Gent (@VivaHarehills) joins the show to talk about their latest book, CYBERBOSS : The Rise of Algorithmic Management.
--------
Craig talks about the rise of algorithmic technologies across workplaces, and the ways in which these technologies have re-shaped the physical boundaries of our working environments. Craig also talks about the challenges unions have faced when it comes to resisting AI, the problem with seeking fair equity from tech companies, and the innovative techniques workers themselves have employed to push back against the management algorithms that seek to undermine their labour.
