Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier (FW-HTF) is one of the 10 Big Ideas for Future NSF Investments.

The FW-HTF investment responds to challenges and opportunities for the future of jobs and workers in a landscape with rapid social and technological changes.

By supporting convergent research at the intersection of future work, technology, and workers, FW-HTF aims to:

• Understand and develop the human-technology partnership,
• Design new technologies to augment human performance,
• Illuminate the emerging socio-technological landscape and understand the risks and benefits of new technologies,
• Understand and influence the impact of artificial intelligence on workers and work, and
• Foster lifelong and pervasive learning.
