Fair Work in the Digital Age
The Fair Work in the Digital Age program focuses on ensuring equitable and dignified labor practices in an increasingly algorithmically managed world. We research the impact of AI and digital platforms on workers' rights, wages, and working conditions, and advocate for policy solutions that promote fair work.
