Abstract [en]

Robots and AI are increasingly being introduced in organizations to improve efficiency and replace dull and dangerous work. The implementation of robots and AI will change the way work is organized and managed with consequences for both employees and service users. In this chapter, we critically examine the implementation of robots and AI in human service organizations from work design, management, and ethical perspectives. We propose that the implementation of robots and AI introduces several challenges and risks for both employees and users that need to be addressed. However, we also suggest that these challenges may be overcome if knowledge about work design and user involvement is considered.
