Procurement Needs an Augmentation Score

Provocation: every workplace-AI purchase should receive an augmentation score. Does it expand judgment, remove drudgery, create surveillance, or erase the practice through which people learn?

ILO analyzes augmentation, job quality, and algorithmic management; OECD reports training and organizational context shape worker outcomes.
