International conference on AI in Work, Innovation, Productivity and Skills

Description

This session will discuss experimental approaches aimed at assessing the possibility for humans and machines to work side by side, and to identify those instances in which automation and AI may make workers redundant. The discussion will be informed by novel evidence on labour-substituting technologies that have been appearing on the market over the last 30 years, with a special focus on those commercialised over the last few years. As these technologies are sold on global markets they can directly or indirectly (through global value chains and input substitution) lead to some tasks (and possible occupations) becoming redundant. The discussion will also focus on how humans and machines can work side by side, and how technologies may become labour augmenting.

AI in our Futures: Stakeholder perspectives

As artificial intelligence reshapes our futures, what do OECD’s stakeholders consider to be the opportunities and challenges for work, innovation, productivity and skills? In this roundtable session, representatives from business (Business at OECD), labour (TUAC), civil society (CSISAC) and the technical community (ITAC) will share their views and offer insights from their communities on the evidence gaps and policy priorities where the OECD can advance the debate.
