Résumé :
Ergonomics is the discipline focused on the “laws of work’. Any future research endeavor will have to keep re-examining what is meant by ‘work’. The future of work may prove to be a bleak one. The driving economic forces embrace the greater utility of automated and increasingly autonomous systems. Human-centered endeavors like Ergonomics often find themselves in opposition to efficiency/profit imperatives. More optimistic approaches seek to harmonize these conflicting forces, envisaging harmonious cooperation between humans and machines of increasing ‘intelligence’ and capability. I will describe why that positive narrative is unlikely, at least within the foreseeable future.
