Tuesday, 17 June: AI and the Future of Work: The ICT Sector in Transition, hosted by ODET and LinkedIn

Location: LinkedIn Corporation, Empire State Building, 350 5th Avenue, New York, New York, 10018

Building on our previous study and joint report between the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies (ODET) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) on the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce, we have expanded our study to develop a framework for assessing this impact. In this session, we will present the milestones achieved so far in shaping this approach, along with preliminary findings focused on the ICT sector and the implications of AI integration. The panel will feature high-level experts from human resources, the ICT industry, and senior government leadership, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on the evolving dynamics of work in the age of AI.
