Concerns and Strategic Responses of Older Workers Navigating Generative AI in Bridge Employment
TL;DR
Older workers face challenges as generative AI (GenAI) disrupts the job market, particularly in bridge employment roles before retirement. Through semi-structured interviews with 21 professionals, insights were gathered on their concerns and adaptive strategies regarding GenAI integration.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers and researchers can design training programs that specifically address the needs of older workers adapting to GenAI.
Key Takeaways
- Conduct interviews to understand older workers' experiences with AI.
- Implement training programs focused on AI adaptation for older employees.
- Encourage boundary work strategies to help OWs manage disruptions.
- Develop collective support systems to reduce burnout among older workers.
How It Works
Older workers engage in boundary work, which involves redefining their roles and responsibilities to create a sense of stability amidst AI-driven changes. This adaptive strategy allows them to negotiate their tasks and maintain continuity in their work.
