The use of intelligent machines—digital technologies that feature data‐driven forms of customization, learning, and autonomous action—is rapidly growing and will continue to impact many industries and domains. This is consequential for communities of researchers, educators, and practitioners concerned with studying, supporting, and educating information professionals. In the face of new developments in artificial intelligence (AI), the research community faces 3 questions: (a) How is AI becoming part of the world of work? (b) How is the world of work becoming part of AI? and (c) How can the information community help address this topic of Work in the Age of Intelligent Machines (WAIM)? This opinion piece considers these 3 questions by drawing on discussion from an engaging 2019 iConference workshop organized by the NSF supported WAIM research coordination network (note: https://waim.network).

人工智能与工作世界，一种共同构成的关系

智能机器——以数据驱动形式的定制、学习和自主行动为特征的数字技术——的使用正在迅速增长，并将继续影响许多行业和领域。这对于关注研究、支持和教育信息专业人员的研究人员、教育工作者和从业人员社区来说意义重大。面对人工智能 (AI) 的新发展，研究界面临 3 个问题：(a) 人工智能如何成为工作世界的一部分？(b) 工作世界如何成为人工智能的一部分？(c) 信息社区如何帮助解决智能机器时代的工作 (WAIM) 这一主题？这篇意见文章通过引用由 NSF 支持的 WAIM 研究协调网络（注：https://waim.network）组织的 2019 年 iConference 研讨会的讨论来考虑这 3 个问题。
