À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Robots, algorithms, and online platforms are changing the world of work. Using case studies and examples from the UK, EU, and US, this book provides a compass to navigate this transformation. Can flexibility and legal protection be reconciled to uphold innovation? How likely is it that the gig-economy model will emerge as a new organisational paradigm across sectors? How can we address the pervasive power of AI-enabled monitoring? What can social partners and political players do to adopt effective regulation?



The book offers a guide to explore these new scenarios, their promises, and perils, and the regulatory options available.
