metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The purpose of this article is to study the possible impact of metaverses on the parties of labour
  relations in the future. Metaverses are permanent virtual spaces where users can relax, work
  and receive services. The development of digital technologies, primarily VR/AR technologies,
  contributes to the creation of metaverses. The activities of global IT giants such as Facebook*
  and Microsoft make us think about how the increase in human presence in virtual reality will
  affect the world of work. Legal regulation will need to be adapted accordingly if the relationship
  between employers and workers changes. To understand the problem, it is necessary to find out
  how the metaverse will differ from modern digital platforms, how large will be the proportion
  of workers who will take virtual jobs in the metaverses in relation to the total number of
  workers. The results of the study allow us to conclude that with the further digitalization of the
  world economy, it is very likely that metaverses will become a familiar working environment
  for most workers in the near future. In this regard, the presence of artificial intelligence in the
  world of work will increase, since the 3D digital environment is a space in which there are
  even more opportunities for artificial intelligence systems than in physical reality. Employers
  will use artificial intelligence to algorithmize management processes, which will increase the
  economic efficiency of activities. Working in the metaverse will become part of the digital
  society, and having the skills to quickly adapt to such work is one of the conditions important
  for survival in the world of the future.
