abstract: 'Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and automation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
technologies have the potential to significantly disrupt labor markets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While AI and automation can augment the productivity of some workers,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
they can replace the work done by others and will likely transform
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
almost all occupations at least to some degree. Rising automation is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
happening in a period of growing economic inequality, raising fears of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mass technological unemployment and a renewed call for policy efforts to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
address the consequences of technological change. In this paper we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discuss the barriers that inhibit scientists from measuring the effects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of AI and automation on the future of work. These barriers include the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lack of high-quality data about the nature of work (e.g., the dynamic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
requirements of occupations), lack of empirically informed models of key
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
microlevel processes (e.g., skill substitution and human-machine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
complementarity), and insufficient understanding of how cognitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
technologies interact with broader economic dynamics and institutional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mechanisms (e.g., urban migration and international trade policy).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overcoming these barriers requires improvements in the longitudinal and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spatial resolution of data, as well as refinements to data on workplace
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills. These improvements will enable multidisciplinary research to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quantitatively monitor and predict the complex evolution of work in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tandem with technological progress. Finally, given the fundamental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
uncertainty in predicting technological change, we recommend developing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a decision framework that focuses on resilience to unexpected scenarios
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in addition to general equilibrium behavior.'
