Artificial intelligence is transforming the organisation of work, communication, and social participation. AI systems increasingly shape how decisions are made, performance is evaluated, and work processes are designed. This event asks: What forms of work and social order emerge through AI? Who benefits from technological change, and how are societal inequalities shifting in the digital transformation?
