AI, Structural Change, and the Future of Work

The use of generative AI, AI-job matching algorithms, and industrial robots is increasing. How does this affect the labor market and how we work? How can we make sure that the productivity gains from AI technology are shared fairly and support a strong, stable job market? These questions are explored within the WASP-HS research environment AI, Structural Change, and the Future of Work.

The researchers within the environment facilitates informed actions and decisions by policymakers and other stakeholders such as firms, unions and individual workers to conduct their work.
