AI – Or the End Of Work as We Know It?

Is AI coming for our jobs? Will it cause mass unemployment or open a huge door to new kinds of work? Must we all reskill? How should schools and universities prepare? Can AI free us from routine tasks and make life more meaningful? If so, how do we motivate workers to take on jobs AI cannot do? Do we need Unconditional Basic Income (UBI)? And what role should EU policy play in this major labour market transformation?

We will ask these questions to Dragoș Adăscăliței, Research Officer at the EU agency Eurofound (European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions). Dragoș studies the future of work: the impact of AI on jobs and the effects of automation on employment.
