The transition phase of the development model that is underway requires a move towards an economic and social system that is sustainable for the environment and for people. This landing involves not a simple integration or updating of current value creation models, but a real paradigm shift. The role of work and social inclusion systems in this dimension is central because the relationship between society and the economy takes place precisely through the function of work and welfare. Policies and interventions to promote sustainability therefore pass through a revision of labour and social security systems and in the affirmation of the ‘human-centric’ dimension of the use of technologies and artificial intelligence in particular. In this perspective, it becomes interesting to analyse the choices and policies promoted in Italy, a nation that is experiencing this transition phase while having to manage the impact of a critical demographic trend.
