A look back at the creation of LaborIA to better measure the impact of AI in companies - Actu IA

On November 19, Elisabeth Borne, Minister of Labour, Employment and Integration, visited the Matrice innovation institute to sign an agreement with Bruno Sportisse of Inria to create a laboratory dedicated to artificial intelligence. Called LaborIA and operated by Matrice, this resource and experimentation centre will have the mission of "better understanding artificial intelligence and its effects on work, employment, skills and social dialogue in order to develop business practices and public action". According to the OECD's 2019 Employment Outlook report, medium-skilled jobs are increasingly exposed to profound transformations. Over the next 15 to 20 years, the development of automation could lead to the disappearance of 14% of current jobs, and another 32% are likely to be profoundly transformed. The report states that the future of work is in our hands and will depend, to a large extent, on the public policy choices countries make.
