AI and the world of work

Series

Artificial intelligence is set to transform the way we work, and plenty more besides. The public availability of tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT has seen the conversation spread from universities and Silicon Valley to boardrooms, kitchen tables and the halls of power. The opportunities of AI are immense, but concerns about its use and potential must now be addressed in the workplace.

We at Ius Laboris are uniquely placed to bring a global perspective, drawn from across the full breadth of HR and employment law practice, to these important developments. We have begun developing a range of material on this vitally important topic, looking ahead to the future by leveraging our own expertise, and by seeking dialogue with policymakers at the highest level.
