digital work

Definition:

effort performed by robotic process automation systems, which is mediated and assisted by the human brain, digital media and speech and technologies such as cloud computing, social media, big data mobility, data analytics and machine learning, to create new products and outcomes

Context: Info
Context:

Specific provisions concerning OSH could also be included in this sector-specific regulation of online platform work, distinguishing between digital work and manual work. The application of existing regulation, such as employment law and OSH, is particularly challenged by the almost inevitably triangular (or multilateral) nature of the online platform work arrangements, their often temporary nature and the sometimes relatively high measure of autonomy of the worker especially in terms of working place and time.
