The Governing Body of the International Labour Office is the executive body of the International Labour Organization (the Office is the secretariat of the Organization). It meets three times a year, in March, June and November. It takes decisions on ILO policy, decides the agenda of the International Labour Conference, adopts the draft Programme and Budget of the Organization for submission to the Conference, and elects the Director-General.
The High-Level Section of the Governing Body will focus on the challenges and opportunities of digitalization, including artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic management, for the world of work. The discussion, involving prominent experts, aims to inform the Governing Body of the latest developments and provide ideas for further research and discussion.
