When the future of work becomes a question mark, who gets left behind?
This project dives into the impact of artificial intelligence on the Israeli job market, inspired by a Taub Center research study.
Rather than just displaying data, it creates an experience that reflects the tension between progress and displacement, between innovation and inequality - and invites viewers to confront the complex realities shaping the world of tomorrow.
Project context & concept
This project was created as part of a data visualization course during my visual communication studies, and is based on a 2023 research study by the Taub Center titled “Artificial Intelligence and the Israeli Labor Market.”
The study explores how rapid developments in AI are reshaping the workforce in Israel - which sectors are most vulnerable, which roles are likely to disappear, and how the demand for human skills is changing. It also raises important concerns about inequality, especially in terms of gender, education, and access to retraining.
As I read through the findings, one core idea kept forming: a growing sense of uncertainty around our place in the workforce. That’s when I recalled a well-known Hebrew phrase:
"Work is our life - but not for us."
But instead of using it as is, I turned it into a question - “Work is our life - but not for us?”It became the title of the project, and the starting point for the concept.
I decided to present the research as an interactive article with two contrasting modes - like light mode and dark mode, but here: AI Mode and Human Mode. Each mode has its own visual language, tone, and narrative focus:
*Human Mode presents a warm, emotionally grounded perspective - focusing on pain points: job displacement, gender inequality, and societal uncertainty.
*AI Mode takes a colder, more technological view - highlighting benefits: increased efficiency, new job creation, and improved processes in various industries.
Even the data itself was curated differently in each mode, using the same source to tell two stories - one of concern, one of opportunity.
The experience ends with a shared question:
Is the future of work a threat - or a chance to do things better?The project ends on a forward-looking note.
Rather than framing the rise of AI as a threat, the closing message encourages openness to change, and a mindset of adaptability.
Yes - the labor market is shifting. But instead of resisting it, we can choose to engage with it:
to learn new skills, build better systems, and take an active role in shaping how humans and machines move forward - together.The future isn’t something that happens to us. It’s something we have the power to shape.
