There are gaps in worker protection regulations worldwide, which businesses exploit to avoid their obligations, Luc Triangle, the General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation, said in his video address to participants of the conference "Impact of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence on Jobs" in Baku.

"This issue affects the entire workforce in the form of a 'race to the bottom'," he said.
