She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated). Her first simultaneous jobs in San Francisco were as Associate Producer on a PBS film series through the Center for Asian American Media and as a butler. She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

The company unilaterally replaced many trained clinicians with unqualified telephone operators and an online questionnaire with AI to make recommendations on next steps, according to the union, which considers the move an unfair labor practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12076882\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12076882\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/260318-KAISER-MENTAL-HEALTH-STRIKE-MD-06-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/260318-KAISER-MENTAL-HEALTH-STRIKE-MD-06-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/260318-KAISER-MENTAL-HEALTH-STRIKE-MD-06-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/260318-KAISER-MENTAL-HEALTH-STRIKE-MD-06-KQED-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mental health workers strike at the Kaiser Oakland Medical Facility in Oakland on March 18, 2026. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Federman, the therapist in San Leandro, said the new system is missing high-risk patients, making them wait longer than recommended to see a provider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m seeing a lot of people, where it’s like, ‘wow, they’re really acute,’ and by the time triage [sends them], it’s been a month that they’ve waited — and that’s really dangerous,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The therapists’ contract with Kaiser ended last September. During bargaining, the company has sought to eliminate current workload limits that allow therapists to have enough time to care for existing patients, Federman said. She worries that the employer may seek to lay off in-house therapists and increasingly refer patients to outside contractors, who won’t offer the same quality of integrated care Kaiser advertises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit health organization countered that it is seeking flexibility to adjust to a “higher than ever” demand for its services, and does not plan to eliminate therapists’ jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our contract proposals are aimed at achieving the flexibility we and our therapists need to improve mental health access for our members even as patient needs continue to rise,” the company’s statement said. “We have nearly doubled our mental health workforce over the last 10 years and have never had a reduction-in-force of mental health clinicians in Northern California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Las Vegas-based virtual receptionist service unveiled an AI-powered offering last year that takes over some administrative tasks that its human receptionists usually do. After a visit to San Francisco, CEO Nathan Strum wanted to promote it on Silicon Valley’s own turf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We couldn’t come in with your typical message, ‘Hi, we’re an answering service, call us and set up an appointment to learn more,’” Strum said. He wanted to respond directly to the Artisan campaign, he said. “Something triggered me when I saw that — something deep down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon, Abby ads that read, “Humanity: Stop firing humans,” appeared on Muni bus shelters all over the city. While Abby’s AI schedules appointments, it’s a human that still handles the more complicated calls — like someone calling their dentist about a toothache.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love human service, and I love AI. I don’t have to be one or the other,” Strum said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abby’s not the only one with a campaign that pushes back against automation fears. San Francisco-based firm Nooks pitched its message with a pair of billboards along 101 that read “AI won’t take your job …” and “But someone using Nooks will!”[aside postID=news_12071615 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Tesla-Optimus-Getty.jpg']“We are playing into the topical, ‘How does AI change hiring and jobs?” said CEO Daniel Lee, who started Nooks with fellow Stanford University students during the pandemic. The company sells software that automates parts of a salesperson’s job — like researching clients or following up on emails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sales is human, and sales reps will continue selling in the future,” Lee said, and compared sales to a game of chess. “We’re playing the game alongside you, helping you think a lot less about manually making the moves and a lot more about the strategy and solving customer problems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linear, a San Francisco-based company, took one of the most recognizable images in Western civilization — Michelangelo’s \u003cem>The Creation of Adam\u003c/em> — and instead of God reaching towards Adam, God’s hand now approaches a cluster of tiny cursor hands. Below, a message reads, “Agents. At your command.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company wanted to stay away from any message that suggested AI is replacing humans, COO Cristina Cordova said. Linear produces software for engineers and designers to work together on projects, and includes “agents” — virtual workers that do a lot of the coding themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The billboards — like Linear’s product — are not meant for everyone, Cordova said. But she’s optimistic about a future where more people can build their own software when AI can deal with complex code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to position human beings as the source of intent, the decision makers, the ones who have taste and judgment,” Cordova said. Echoing her company’s Sistine Chapel-coded billboards, she said. “The human role is almost divine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who regulates AI workers?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At a recent industry conference in New Delhi, OpenAI and ChatGPT chief Sam Altman \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/live/qH7thwrCluM\">told the press\u003c/a> that automation has eliminated jobs multiple times in history. But it’s also created entirely new industries, he said. “We always find new things to do, and I have no doubt we will find lots of better ones this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s no guarantee that humans whose jobs are automated will actually find a new livelihood, said UC Los Angeles professor Ramesh Srinivasan, who studies the connections between technology and democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12076634\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12076634\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/020226AI-Billboards-_GH_006_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/020226AI-Billboards-_GH_006_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/020226AI-Billboards-_GH_006_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/020226AI-Billboards-_GH_006_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A cyclist rides along Fifth Street beneath a tech billboard on Feb. 2, 2026, in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Gustavo Hernandez/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Where are the jobs and what are they going to look like?” he said. Without a clear picture of how humans will add value to the work AI takes up, he said. “What’s on the chopping block is the social contract where people are compensated for their labor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Srinivasan said the gig economy — rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, for example — show how, without enough government oversight, tech innovations that promised to give workers more freedom actually create more precarious conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During California’s 2020 election, Uber and other gig companies spent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11843123/prop-22-explained-why-gig-companies-are-spending-huge-money-on-an-unprecedented-measure\">more than $200 million\u003c/a> backing Proposition 22, a ballot measure allowing them to classify drivers as independent contractors rather than employees — exempting them from state labor protections such as minimum wage, overtime pay, and workers’ compensation. While backers of Proposition 22 promised the initiative would guarantee minimum earnings, many ride-hail drivers say their\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12057798/california-gives-uber-lyft-drivers-collective-bargaining-rights\"> real wages have slipped\u003c/a>.[aside postID=news_12072425 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/AP24134775174210-1020x680.jpg']“The direction tech has taken has become an amplifier of inequality, but it certainly doesn’t need to be that way,” Srinivasan said. He’s skeptical that President Donald Trump and his administration will set up guardrails to prevent widespread AI automation and points to \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/story/tech-ceos-donald-trump-white-house/\">the close relationship\u003c/a> OpenAI and other tech giants have developed with the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If regulators have been captured by the technology industry, then you don’t have much recourse,” he said. “The point of regulation isn’t to stop technology innovation, but to direct it in a way that supports multiple stakeholders rather than just a few investors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers and labor groups are pushing forward legislation in response to AI automation. Last month, state Sen. Eloise Gómez Reyes, D-San Bernardino, introduced \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520260sb951\">SB 951\u003c/a>, which would require employers to notify workers and state officials at least 90 days in advance before any “technological displacement” — layoffs caused “by the introduction of an AI system or other automated technology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Labor Federation — which represents over 2.3 million workers — supports the bill. “We need data on which jobs and industries are impacted by AI layoffs and hiring freezes and what tools are being used to replace workers,” said Lorena Gonzalez, president of the California Labor Federation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the AI industry can keep that promised balance between human and machine in the workforce may not matter much for Bay Area residents already struggling in the existing job market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12076637\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12076637\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/020226AI-Billboards-_GH_005_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/020226AI-Billboards-_GH_005_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/020226AI-Billboards-_GH_005_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/020226AI-Billboards-_GH_005_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman walks past a bus shelter ad reading “Humanity.

SF General and Ward 86 often care for patients that other hospitals and clinics may refuse, whether that’s due to lack of insurance or the complexity and challenge of the medical and behavioral needs they present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So too much security or barriers to entry could cause vulnerable patients to avoid care altogether, patient advocates say. Adding too much police presence or security measures has become a point of friction, even in an industry that’s known for having the highest rate of non-fatal injuries, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very challenging industry to work in. You have risk factors, you are dealing with a public that’s sick, hurting, in pain, all of the above, trying to get access to care,” said Cammie Chaumont Menendez, a research epidemiologist with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.[aside postID=news_12066395 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/San-Francisco-General-Hospital-Getty.jpg']“It might be alarming for patients who are seeking care to go to a hospital that has metal detectors everywhere. Because health care is based in large part on skill, but also on trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarez, who stepped in to pull the patient off of Rangel during the stabbing, said his safety concerns have been made worse by a warped public narrative of the event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was the individual who physically intervened in an attempt to stop the attack. A sheriff’s deputy who was present on the unit and assigned to provide safety support did not immediately intervene and was prompted by staff before taking action,” Alvarez said at Thursday’s rally. “When staff have to guide the sheriff to a life-threatening moment, that tells us something in the system is not working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some patients say they feel safer with the added security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charles Adams, a longtime Ward 86 patient, was in the clinic on the day Rangel was attacked. He is seeing a therapist but still struggling with nightmares from the event.
