9th Annual Conference of the International Network on Digital Labour (INDL-9)

INDL-9 is the ninth annual conference of the International Network on Digital Labour. Under the theme “AI Supply Chains: Building an interdisciplinary research agenda for AI and labour”, the conference explores the people, processes and working conditions underpinning the development and deployment of artificial intelligence.

Bringing together researchers, policymakers and practitioners, INDL-9 examines the often-invisible human labour behind AI and the implications of AI supply chains for decent work, from data annotation and content moderation to algorithmic management, regulation, responsible sourcing and social dialogue.

The conference aims to advance an interdisciplinary and human-centred research agenda that connects AI development with decent work, international labour standards and workers’ voice.

INDL-9 is jointly organized by the International Labour Organization (ILO), DiPLab, ACM SIGCAS and Yale University.
