In the scope of the Smartwork project, Cáritas Coimbra contributed to the article “Benefits and Hurdles of AI In The Workplace – What Comes Next?” that was published in the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems (IJAE) this week.
This paper addresses how technology applied to the work environment can be leveraged to respond to the emerging challenges raised by COVID-19. It also provides reflections on the main opportunities and challenges that the use of AI solutions in the workplace imply, suggesting measures or recommendations to tackle them, towards a concerted approach to AI, integrating the policy agenda with the implementation strategy.

SmartWork is a European project addressing a key challenge facing today’s older generation, as they are living and working longer than their predecessors: the design and realisation of age-friendly living and working spaces. In the SmartWork project, CDC coordinates two work packages: one related to the correspondence between the real needs and expectations of the end users, considering the construction and use of such a system, and the technological and functional characteristics of the system itself (WP2 – Architecture of the System, Requirements and Use Cases); the other related to the implementation of pilots, for testing the technologies developed through the project, and thus contributing to its further iterative improvement, in order to create a final technological version of the AI system (and WP8 – Technology, Validation and Evaluation).
CDC will also lead the tasks related to ethics and data protection involved in the implementation of the pilots, as well as co-lead the standardization and concertation activities of the project, aimed at involving relevant stakeholders to increase the potential of the SmartWork’s final result.
The funding for this R&D project is provided by EU Horizon 2020 SmartWork Project ‘Smart Age-friendly Living and Working Environment’, Grant agreement no. 826343
