    I have helped organize a workplace and I cant think of a way AI could have aided us. My fellow organizers would occasionally ask it advice or questions about labor law.

    The first use case didn’t produce anything overly helpful, but maybe it helped soothe their nerves. The second use case… We’re not lawyers and the devil is in the details. Fortunately we had help from the organization we joined. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

      AI is great at sources and finding places that have done it before. Also, if you put in what Amazon is doing, there may be sources for laws that they’re breaking, and ways you can legally counteract. Notice, I said sources. It can also help you organize all of the info*. AI is an amazing intern, but that’s about it. Still very helpful.
