DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the labour market has been marked by the ris
 e of AI and data-driven technologies that have enabling the platform to be
 come a market-leading a model of organisation. The economic aim of the pla
 tform is to profit through the infrastructure that they have created\, ext
 ending the logic of capital to commodify activities and networks that were
  previously outside the market space. Platforms tend to scale rapidly beyo
 nd national boundaries and regulations\, which many take advantage of to d
 rive down labour costs\, undermining hard-won social protections for worke
 rs. The Fairwork project aims to counter the power of platform capital by 
 highlighting the best and worst management practices while advocating for 
 more a more just and sustainable working life.\nSpeakers:\nMatthew Cole (U
 niversity of Oxford)
