| Summary: | In recent years, the future of the labour market in the context of evident advances in artificial
intelligence (AI) has been much debated, ranging from a number of considerations about the
implications for job losses in certain sectors to elements of possible deepening economic
inequality. The main objective of the present paper is to investigate the interdependencies
between AI adoption and the labour market from the perspective of achieving the Sustainable
Development Goal (SDG) 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. Despite a growing body of
literature on AI and the future of work, the link to sustainable development on the labour market
is still unclear. The present study explores this issue in EU countries, suggesting an index of AI
adoption and analysing correlations with SDG8 indicators. This paper examines how emerging
AI technologies might support SDG 8, fostering both sustainable growth and decent work for
all EU citizens. Our research emphasises that the adoption of AI leads to a mix of effects, with
the potential to contribute to economic growth, productivity, work-life balance, and poverty
reduction, but at the same time, brings with it challenges related to inequality.
