Labour markets

AI is likely to have a significant impact on the world of work, acting as a substitute to human labour in some tasks, and as a complement in others. It will give rise to entirely new tasks and occupations and potentially change drastically the nature of others. Some tasks and jobs will become safer and less monotonous as a result of the adoption of AI, while others may be at risk of de-humanisation or de-skilling. This OECD work stream focuses on:

• What do we know about the impact of AI on the labour market
• An assessment of what happens to occupations most exposed to AI
• The role of social partners in the adoption of AI
• The ethical implications of AI adoption in the workplace
• The impact of AI on job matching
• The impact of AI on job quality and skills use
