Consolidating the International Network on Digital Labour (C-INDL)

C-INDL brings to the next level the two-year experience of an informal, yet vibrant network of scholars who research the future of work in cross-disciplinary perspective. It provides a much-needed space to explore and present original research ideas on computer-mediated work, online value production, automation, and tech-enabled outsourcing. By enabling better communication and coordination between interested scholars, beyond disciplinary and national boundaries, we aim to develop a shared conceptual framework to tackle the transformations of labour in the digital economy and their linkages with artificial intelligence (AI). Our ambition is not only theoretical but also applied, contributing to current policy efforts to define the conditions of a credible societal commitment to responsible AI.
