Artificial Intelligence and the Labour Market: Impacts and Issues

Abstract

The authoress examines the impacts and issues that artificial intelligence produces on the labour market characterised by an increasing hybridisation of both the workplace and work performance. The European AI Act Regulation is analysed for issues of interest. Issues concerning monitoring systems to avoid discrimination (especially for women) as well as issues related to algorithms are reviewed. The authoress also analyses issues concerning redistributive and fiscal policies and the type of employment that AI will produce in the labour market. Finally, reflections are posed on the relationship between demographic decline and new technologies and the need for participatory industrial relations, with a central role played by collective bargaining. Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Labour market; Discrimination; Industrial relation; Collective bargaining
