This case study presents how the mixing of speculative design with artistic methodology can contribute to the inquiry oftechnological potentialities in the future of work. The goal and belief are that technologies such as artificial intelligence canaugment employee creativity and support their well-being at work. The co-design process followed an artistic approach andconsisted of three cycles of labs, workshops and events during the span of one year to support professionals with nontechnicalbackground in the ideation and conceptualization of possible futures. The artistic approach consisted of differentexploration perspectives of technology through the use of embodiment, artifacts and creation of speculative fictions. Theresearch team that facilitated the labs was interdisciplinary and the participants were assembled from different partnerorganizations from industry and public sector. We share the learnings from this study attending to three different perspectives:our learnings from the facilitation of the artistic approach, our learnings from the future of work ideas and concepts developedby participants, and discussion of what these learnings can mean to design practitioners and the research community. Resultsindicate that embodiment and speculative fiction can create engagement among professionals that lack technical expertiseand support them in collaborative exploration of alternative futures of work with novel and abstract technologies such as AI.
