Hereunder you can read the abstract of her presentation:

It is clear that we have arrived in the 4th Industrial Revolution. And while we are still in the middle of it and need to see where it will lead us to and what consequences it will have for work, and therewith also for labour law, some argue that since 2022 we have entered the 5th Industrial Revolution. While it can be questioned if we are really in the 5th Industrial Revolution, it is clear that its aim is to add to the 4th Industrial Revolution a human dimension. Thus, instead of deploying technological inventions and developments just because it makes new ways of work and activities possible or because they increase productivity, the 5th Industrial Revolution requires an assessment of what the new technology will add or contribute to the human. During the seminar I will address the question of what this human-centric approach means for the further development of new technologies and the regulation of technologies in the context of work.
