    Technology, Labour and Industry 5.0: What Kind of Future(s) for Work and its Legal Regulation?

    Keynote Speaker: Ifeoma Ajunwa, J.D., LL.M., Ph.D | Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Law and Founding Director, AI and the Future of Work Program at Emory Law School

    Termed “Industry 5.0”, the latest wave of technological change in the world of work is characterized by increasing convergence between machine and human intelligence, and builds on the evolving communication structures and globalized labour markets of earlier waves of change. These rapid advancements in technology are posing new, and renewed, challenges for the world of work and its legal regulation. The misalignment between traditional legal principles governing work and the realities of work in this new technological era is increasingly recognized, from classification to privacy issues to collective bargaining. This conference explores the future of technology in the world of work, with a view to thinking through emerging challenges for legal regulation and possibilities for law reform that will better respond to the new realities of work in the digital age.
