AI and decent work: A moment of choice
Episode 86 | 1 June 2026
Artificial intelligence is already reshaping the world of work – from jobs to skills to everyday working life. But whether this transformation strengthens decent work, dignity and shared prosperity, or deepens inequality and exclusion, remains an open question. The outcomes are not predetermined, but will depend on governance, institutions and social dialogue.
Taking place at the 114th International Labour Conference, this conversation explores what AI-driven change means for workers, employers and economies – and what a human-centred future of work requires.
