Shaping the Future of Work in the AI Era: Business Model Innovation in Digitalisation for Decent Work and Economic Growth
摘要
The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies is reshaping work, creating opportunities and challenges related to Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth). AI enables business model innovation (BMI), yet less research examines how specific BMIs shape work practices toward SDG 8 goals. This research uses practice theory and insights from 56 semi-structured interviews with 34 companies to explore work quality challenges (SDG 8), AI-driven BMIs reshaping work, and resulting pathways. We identify challenges like ‘complexity in scaling up’ capabilities, highlight BMI designs such as ‘Gen-AI as a service’, and detail pathways like ‘realised customisation’. A theoretical framework shows how AI-enabled BMI influences work practices and pathways, impacting Decent Work (SDG 8) attainment.
