Timely tripartite conference in Kazakhstan on advancing social justice in the era of the knowledge economy & #AI. Social dialogue has an essential role, to help ease transitions to new technology, uphold labour rights & ensure #AI-related jobs meet the standards of #decentwork.

Global cooperation is key to ensure that the knowledge economy & #AI support genuine progress in human development and a future with greater #SocialJustice. The proposed Global Digital Compact, for discussion at the United Nations #SummitOfTheFuture would be a step in the right direction.
