AI Anna | 5 ways to help your staff avoid becoming the 'worker of the future'

Hunched shoulders, strained neck and eyes, bad skin and prone to illness… yes, you’ve probably seen ‘Anna’, the latest AI-generated remote worker of the future.

Anna, created by office supplies company Furniture at Work, has been widely ridiculed for her grotesque features, but she's not the first AI 'worker' to go viral. She follows in the swollen-ankle-footsteps of ‘Emma’ who was created by Fellowes in 2019, and 'Susan' in 2020.

It's unavoidable that some of the traits of Anna and her workmates are real problems for those who work from home – from strained eyes and a sore neck, to increased headaches from screen time and posture problems from not having a correct desk set up. Anna is based on the theory that she has been working from bed, hunched over a screen, not taking breaks or moving much. And the onus seems to be on the worker to solve the problem.
