On January 16, 2025, Amiens France, the Digital Innovation Zone (DIZ) represented by Cristina Baghiu (HUB coordinator) and the Technical University “Gheorghe Asachi” of Iași (TUIASI) represented by Siomona Caraiman (professor and vice-rector) participated in the Future of Work with AI conference.
Digital Innovation Zone’s contribution to the Global White Paper on Artificial Intelligence and Work Transformation.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is redefining the future of work, generating both significant opportunities and complex challenges for organizations, employees and decision-makers. In this context, the event brought together global experts to analyze and debate the impact of these transformations.
Representing Romania, Cristina and Siomona actively contributed to the discussions that shaped the white paper, “Towards a Comprehensive Understanding of AI and Work Transformation”.
The Four Pillars of AI and Work Transformation
The document provides a structured approach to the impact of AI on work, focusing on four key pillars:
- 1. Regulation, standards and governance – The ethical and legal frameworks needed to ensure responsible implementation of AI.
- 2. Impact on people – The effects of AI on inclusion, career opportunities and employee well-being.
- 3. Socio-economic and ethical aspects – The wider implications of AI on job security, economic transformation and social equity.
- 4. Use cases – Practical applications that demonstrate the potential of AI in various industries.
How DIZ contributes as EDIH
As EDIH, DIZ plays a crucial role in helping SMEs and public institutions integrate AI responsibly, while ensuring that employees and entrepreneurs develop the right skills for an AI-driven future. Our expertise in digital transformation, innovation transfer and ecosystem collaboration aligns directly with the goals of ethical AI adoption and workforce improvement outlined in the white paper.
What’s next?
Insights gathered at the Amiens conference will feed into the AI Action Summit in Paris (February 10-11, 2025) and the creation of working groups to develop methodologies to ensure that AI fosters inclusive growth, rather than widening inequalities. DIZ will continue to be an active voice in this conversation, ensuring that Romania’s innovation ecosystem plays a key role in shaping the future of AI in the workplace.
