Introduction
The Nordic expert network NVL Digital Worklife presents a set of recommendations for companies, enterprises and organisations within working life, as well as teachers and providers of education, courses, training and lifelong learning.
Main goal
The main goal is to facilitate processes of exploring, implementing and utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) within working life in the Nordic region.
The recommendations presented in this paper are based on the network’s analysis of the OECD-report Employment outlook 2023: Artificial intelligence and the labour market within a Nordic context, and on reflections and findings from the report The role of lifelong learning for inclusion in the digital transformation (Buhl, Dille et. Al. 2023).
The recommendations are presented in detail by experts in a series of five videos produced by the network:
Main messages
It is crucial to involve the social partners to ensure that the interests and perspectives of both owners, managers and employees are taken into consideration when new digital tools such as AI are implemented. The social partners are experts on competence and skills needs within working life.
It is important to integrate Nordic pedagogical perspectives into courses, training, education and lifelong learning when tools such as AI are developed in other continents with different pedagogical models and perspectives.
Target groups
Employers/management, employees and different worklife organisations as well as teachers and providers of education, courses, training and lifelong learning for adults within working life.
