in devalued work: The confluence of overconfidence in AI and underconfidence in worker expertise
2026
Overview
A growing body of literature has focused on understanding and addressing workplace artificial intelligence (AI) design failures. However, past work has largely overlooked the role of the devaluation of worker expertise in shaping the dynamics of AI development and deployment. In this paper, we examine the case of feminized labor: a class of devalued occupations historically misnomered as “women’s work,” such as social work, K-12 teaching, and home healthcare. Drawing on literature on AI deployments in feminized labor contexts, we conceptualize AI Failure Loops : a set of interwoven, sociotechnical failure modes that help explain how the systemic devaluation of workers’ expertise negatively impacts, and is impacted by, AI design, evaluation, and governance practices. These failures demonstrate how misjudgments on the automatability of workers’ skills can lead to AI deployments that fail to bring value to workers and, instead, further diminish the visibility of workers’ expertise. We discuss research and design implications for workplace AI, especially for devalued occupations.
