The work did not disappear: they are hiding it behind the fear of artificial intelligence

Argentina does not need more speeches, you need decisions. We continue talking about modernizing employment with the same bureaucracy that destroys it. And while officials print resolutions on paper and guilds stop any attempt of innovation, artificial intelligence is already working, without requesting joints or union jurisdiction.

In a country trapped between the nostalgia of what was and the fear of what will come, innovation is not a utopia: it is an urgency. While the world transforms its labor market with exponential technologies, Argentina still discusses whether moving towards the digitalization of the labor file is constitutional. The work changed. What does not change is the political and union will to sustain a system that expels, precarious and delay.

Artificial intelligence, automation, collaborative robotics and intelligent systems are not threats. They are tools. Tools that, well applied, can reduce structural unemployment, improve state efficiency, formalize millions of informal workers and provide new opportunities for labor inclusion. But for that you have to decide. And in Argentina, innovating is deciding against the status quo.

Today we have more than 10 million workers in black and more than 5.5 million unemployed. Meanwhile, the knowledge economy grows, but does not find trained talent. Because? Because we continue to educate for a labor market that no longer exists. Because unions block digital training instead of promoting them. Because the State requires face -to -face procedures in the 21st century.

Automation of repetitive processes can release time and resources for tasks of greater human value. AI can detect training needs, predict ruptures in employment and even design public policies better than many bureaucrats. But we continue to argue if a robot can replace an administrative. Spoiler: He already did, and he does better.

Countries such as Estonia digitized their entire state system. Uruguay computerized his labor justice. Colombia experiments with artificial intelligence for legal advice. And Argentina? He complains about bots but does not invest a weight in public innovation.

A proposal is, to create a national intelligent employment system that connects labor supply and demand in real time, automating liquidations, centralizing collective agreements with AI and offering preventive advice to workers and employers. Programming in a database of the last 10 years of jurisprudence, laws, labor market, CCT, trades, the starting point of automation. It is cheaper, more fair and efficient.

Innovating at work is not just modernizing. It is to guarantee rights. It is to include the one outside. It is to face those who profit from precariousness. Technology is not an enemy. It is ally. But to be an ally you have to understand it, regulate it and, above all, use it. Otherwise, we will continue to discuss how to improve the past, while the future passes us.
