What's on offer?

Join us to consider how AI is changing the future of work. The event will feature expert presentations, an open Q&A, and a collaborative discussion on the steps needed to secure a fair and decent future of work. We’ll conclude with refreshments and networking opportunities, offering space for reflection and connection.

What's it about?

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of our everyday lives. This is resulting in the workplace being transformed, as AI technologies are reshaping how jobs are carried out, monitored, and accessed. As a result of this widespread adoption, principles of good work are being challenged. Additionally, the benefits of these technologies are not spread evenly across the UK.

In this event, leading experts will highlight the latest trends in how AI is affecting workers’ rights, well-being, and productivity. Together we’ll explore how adoption of these technologies is unfolding both nationally and here in Southampton, and discuss what can be done to ensure everyone has access to good work.

Who's leading the event?

Dr Joe Atkinson, Associate Professor of Employment Law, University of Southampton
