The broad applications of AI in many fields lead us to wonder: what should we do with AI at work? Its purported efficiency, reliability and speed have given rise to divergent perspectives. The socio-pessimistic stance asserts that humans will be replaced, leading to job losses and increased inequality, while a more techno-optimistic position sees cooperation between AI and humans as emancipatory, enabling humans to focus on meaningful and creative tasks. Whatever the perspective, AI has implications for the value of work and working conditions in the future. This conference aims to propose a social philosophy of AI and work, anchored in an ethical framework but also through empirical case studies. With contributions from international researchers, we will examine the history of the debate on technological replacement, working conditions with AI and transformations in notions of equity and justice.
