AI & The Future of Work

​AI systems are advancing rapidly and are increasingly capable of performing cognitive tasks that were previously the exclusive domain of human workers. As these technologies mature, they raise pressing questions about workforce displacement, the future of entry-level positions, and the overall structure of labour demand.

​Engaging with these questions is essential. This panel brings together researchers and practitioners from labour economics, AI governance, and public policy to examine both the empirical evidence on AI’s labour market effects and the policy tools available to governments.

​The discussion will move across three broad themes:

​Diagnosis. What do we actually know so far about how AI is reshaping jobs, wages, and the structure of labour demand?

​Inequality. Who stands to gain and who stands to lose, and what does this mean for the distribution of work and income in Europe?

​Policy response. What are governments doing, what should they be doing, and how do tools like reskilling, social protection, and regulation fit together?
