Title

The Labor-Market Impact of Firm-Level Adoption of AI and Autonomous Systems

About the project

As robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly integrate into the workforce, society faces the challenge of understanding how these technologies will reshape the labor market. This project is dedicated to exploring the broad implications of this technological transition.

The research focuses on how companies are adopting AI and robotic innovations and the subsequent issues that arise. It will investigate what happens to job availability, how the demand for skills and educational requirements evolves, and how these changes impact different segments of the labor market, particularly in terms of gender. The project will also explore the effects on families and the necessary transitions within and between companies, including how education, remuneration, and collective agreements should be restructured in response to these shifts.

The overarching aim is to provide insights into how the demand for various types of labor changes with the introduction of AI and robotics, offering a deeper understanding of the future labor market and its dynamics.
