  The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in workplaces stands to
change the way humans work, with job satisfaction intrinsically linked to work
life. Existing research on human-AI collaboration tends to prioritize
performance over the experiential aspects of work. In contrast, this paper
explores the impact of AI on job decency and meaningfulness in workplaces.
Through interviews in the Information Technology (IT) domain, we not only
examined the current work environment, but also explored the perceived
evolution of the workplace ecosystem with the introduction of an AI. Findings
from the preliminary exploratory study reveal that respondents tend to
visualize a workplace where humans continue to play a dominant role, even with
the introduction of advanced AIs. In this prospective scenario, AI is seen as
serving as a complement rather than replacing the human workforce. Furthermore,
respondents believe that the introduction of AI will maintain or potentially
increase overall job satisfaction.
