A Force for Equity or Control? Redefining Diversity and Stratification In the AI-Integrated Workplace

The four papers examine AI’s potential to equalize class-based creative disparities, its risk of amplifying gendered surveillance effects, and the critical role of information accuracy in fostering trust, ultimately calling for a redefinition of diversity to include non-human agents.
