Folks are talking more to their chatbot than to colleagues.
We’re deploying AI agents into remote work environments that regulators are actively tightening, e.g.
* Italy just extended criminal health and safety obligations from companies to employees working from home;
* In the US, surveys are calling 2026 the year of “Great Compliance” with monitoring tools expanding.
In an org, someone will have to think about how employees still interact with each other and handle their new AI collaborators without stressing out.
I bet soon we’ll be talking about Employee Experience Design.
