Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant potential to deeply transform our society, economy, and labour markets. Yet, little is known about the exact consequences of AI for the future of work and the workers itself. While previous estimates of automation risks of occupations tend to diverge from 9% (Arntz, Gregory, and Zierahn, 2016) to 47% (Frey and Osborne, 2017), a quantifiable impact of AI diffusion on workers and their jobs has thus far to be determined. With increasing job polarization and a rising fear of automation risks amongst workers (Frank, Autor, Bessen, Brynjolfsson, Cebrian, Deming, Feldman, Groh, Lobo, Moro, Wang, Youn, and Rahwan, 2019), research should aim to investigate how AI influences the future of work and the workers involved.
