This poster examines labor trends from the past and present to explore how future labor demands in ESOL might shift with the increase of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Many praise how educators can save time with AI, but what's missing from this prediction? This poster explains the caveats entailed by such laudatory claims and how a field like education that's riddled with burnout won't be saved by AI hacks and shortcuts. Furthermore, those most impacted by labor shifts are marginalized already, and have the most to lose as work changes in uncontrollable ways. Come to discuss, raise awareness, and build hope.
