Italy will spend some $30 million to help workers whose jobs are at risk as artificial intelligence transforms the labor market worldwide.
the Fondo per la Repubblica Digitale , a fund that Italy established in 2021 to improve digital skills in the country.The latest plan involves putting some $10 million into improving the skills of people whose jobs are at high risk of being replaced because of technological innovation, the fund announced this week.
While the program is not focused solely on AI, it will fund companies and nonprofits for projects to train their workers to use new technologies, which could involve robotics, data science and artificial intelligence.“It is necessary to adapt the know-how of workers with training on digital and soft skills so that people can do their jobs in a complementary way” to the technology, said Martina Lascialfari, head of institutional activities at the FRD.
The FRD described its efforts as an intervention to help workers as companies expect more advanced skills to remain competitive on the market. The fund aims to create “experimental projects that can be scalable” and inform government policy in Italy, Lascialfari said.The remaining money in the plan, about $20 million, will go toward helping people who are unemployed or economically inactive to develop digital skills that could allow them to enter the job market.
Still, around the world, “one of the worrying features is that we now need societies that are AI literate, and we haven’t even really managed to do digital literacy in some ways,” said Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab., “but I think it’s become much more real,” she said.
