XXII International Conference in Commemoration of Professor Marco Biagi

On the twenty-third anniversary of the death of Professor Marco Biagi, the Foundation and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia are commemorating the man and the labour law scholar by organizing an international conference on “Employment in the Era of AI and Digital Platforms: Understanding and Regulating Transitions”.

The two-day event will bring together distinguished scholars from around the world to exchange ideas in interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives on the transformative impact of AI and digital labour platforms on employment, observing ongoing processes of change and exploring innovative practices to address current and future challenges in the digital workplace.

By discussing core issues such as the occupational implications of the human-machine interplay, the digitalisation of HRM through AI, the role and implication on industrial labour relations, the intersection of AI with labour and human rights, as well as the potential advancements or drawbacks favoured by the use of AI in the workplace, the conference aims to foster a deeper understanding of how AI shapes the workplace and provide strategies for navigating its complexities.
