Innovation and the Future of the World of Work

The track aims to explore the transformative potential of technological advances, with an emphasis on critical analysis of topics relevant to society. The focus is on discussing the impact of artificial intelligence and automation, and the need for a targeted approach to the inclusion of these technological innovations.

The debate seeks to examine the importance of investing in technology education and training to prepare the workforce for new demands, addressing issues such as ethics and critical thinking. In addition, the track aims to address the regulation of emerging technologies, considering how to establish ethical standards and ensure fair and equitable working conditions as innovations integrate into the labor market.

“The Y20 track on Innovation and Future of Work holds significant strategic importance for G20 nations, tasked with addressing global challenges towards building a fair world and a sustainable planet. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence are reshaping societies, and we emphasize their potential to promote peace, reduce inequalities, and safeguard the environment. Equally crucial is the preparation of young people with future-ready skills and ensuring ample decent work opportunities for the largest youth population in history.”

Data Panel - Y20 Tracks

Throughout the Y20 Brazil 2024 process, the importance of diagnosing global challenges and developing evidence-based public policies were some of our guiding principles. From this perspective, we built, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), a systematization of indicators related to the 5 priority axes of discussion of Y20 in the context of the Brazilian Presidency of the G20.
