Over recent years, there have been rapid advances in digital technologies, most prominently in the area of artificial intelligence (AI). These changes are reshaping industries, enabling emergence of entirely new business models and new forms of employment. At the same time, the digital divide between and within countries continues to limit who can access these opportunities and benefit from innovation. Due to the application across many occupations and sectors, the effects of AI and digitalization on jobs have potentially far-reaching implications for jobs. This has raised a lot of questions, such as; to what extent certain occupations will be replaced by AI, if AI will create new types of job opportunities, what kind of skills are required in the digital transformation of the labour market. Recognizing both the potential and the risks of digitalization, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has called for inclusive strategies to harness technological progress for decent work. The Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work (2019) called upon member states to harness its fullest potential of technological progress and productivity growth, including through social dialogue, to achieve decent work and sustainable development. The Global Call to Action for a human-centred recovery from the COVID-19 crisis (2021) emphasised the impact of the crisis on existing decent work deficits and the impact of the crisis on digital gaps within and among countries. The ILO has committed to support its members states to harness the fullest potential of technological progress and digitalization, including platform work, to create decent jobs and sustainable enterprises, enable broad social participation in its benefits and address its risks and challenges, including by reducing the digital divide between people and countries.
