The ILO Observatory on Artificial Intelligence and Work in the Digital Economy is the leading international knowledge hub on the world-of-work dimensions of AI and the digital economy. It aims to support governments and social partners in understanding and managing the digital transformation of work.

The Observatory will bring together evidence, analysis and expertise related to AI and the digital economy, with a focus on four key areas:

• artificial intelligence, including analyses of its ramifications on employment and productivity; 
• algorithmic management, which refers to the use of algorithms and tracked data to manage and supervise work; 
• digital labour platforms, which have grown exponentially as a new form of work over the past decade and which will be the subject of a standard-setting discussion at the 2025 and 2026 International Labour Conference and 
• workers’ personal data, as a means to provide guidance for how employers should handle the collection of workers’ personal data.
