Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier

What is Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier?

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.
