Worksplace to Worksphere : Digitalisation and AI, What's Next ?
#96 – April 2026
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant prospect—it is already reshaping how we work, how decisions are made, and how workers are treated. We are proud to present you this new edition of AGORA N° 96, which was led by USF Secretary General, Peter Kempen. Here, urgent questions arise: Who is protected? Who decides? And where must unions intervene?
Across articles and interviews, our contributors examine how AI challenges workers in the public sector and beyond—from permanent digital availability and toxic monitoring to job losses driven by systems workers themselves helped train. This issue highlights why union involvement is crucial to safeguard dignity, working conditions, data protection, social dialogue, and the right to disconnect.
As the EU AI Act sets a first framework, AGORA #96 equips union officials and members with insights, questions, and tools to act. Understanding AI is no longer optional—it is a collective responsibility.
