The global cooperative movement rooted in principles of shared ownership, democratic governance and social equity which faces new challenges and opportunities in the age of automation and artificial intelligence (AI). While these technologies offer significant advantages such as improved efficiency, enhanced decision-making and optimized processes they also pose risks, including job displacement and governance complexities. This paper explores how cooperatives across sectors are adapting to these changes, from using AI in predictive analytics and blockchain based governance to leveraging automation for operational efficiency. It highlights strategies such as skill development, ethical AI frameworks and inclusive digital governance to ensure cooperatives maintain their core values while embracing technological innovation. Finally, the article emphasizes the need for supportive policies and collaborative efforts to ensure that the integration of automation and AI aligns with the movement’s commitment to fairness, sustainability, and social justice.
