The Future of Work in the Age of Automation and AI: International & Interdisciplinary Perspectives

This symposium is based on an online international and interdisciplinary conference hosted by the Ethics of AI Lab at the Centre for Ethics, University of Toronto, on May 15, 2020. It explores the implications and complications that automation and AI have introduced into the work-leisure matrix, by considering possible futures of work that have been framed in terms of ideas and proposals such as post-work, the distribution of care-work, and the implementation of a universal basic income.
