Technology has always transformed work. But today, the pace feels different. Artificial intelligence can draft legal briefs. Algorithms can manage logistics. Platforms can replace traditional employment structures.

If productivity rises, why doesn’t prosperity automatically follow? If growth accelerates, why does insecurity persist?

This forum studies the political economy of technological change. Participants will examine how automation reshapes labor demand, why wage growth can diverge from productivity growth, how bargaining power shifts in digital markets, and whether education systems are adapting fast enough.

Ambassadors will discuss real-world cases: AI adoption in firms, gig economy regulation, industrial policy, reskilling programs, and debates around universal basic income versus targeted workforce investment.

Members will work to produce a policy brief proposing a concrete reform designed to better align technological innovation with broad-based economic growth in a defined national or regional context.

This forum explores how societies can shape the future of work rather than simply react to it.
