Revisiting the risk of automation
TLDR
In this paper, the authors show that these scenarios are overestimating the share of automatable jobs by neglecting the substantial heterogeneity of tasks within occupations as well as the adaptability of jobs in the digital transformation.About:

German Robots - The Impact of Industrial Robots on Workers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the impact of robot exposure on the careers of individual manufacturing workers and the equilibrium impact across industries and local labor markets in Germany and found no evidence that robots cause total job losses, but they do affect the composition of aggregate employment.

The impacts of digital transformation on the labour market: Substitution potentials of occupations in Germany
Katharina Dengler,Britta Matthes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors directly calculate substitution potentials for occupations in Germany by using German occupational data from an expert database and assess whether they can be replaced by computers or computer-controlled machines according to programmable rules.

Is this time different? How digitalization influences job creation and destruction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence derived from representative survey data from Switzerland that is consistent with this view, finding that increased investment in digitalization is associated with increased employment of high skilled workers and reduced employment of low-skilled workers, with a slightly positive net effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Labor Market
TL;DR: It is estimated that AI will reduce 90:10 wage inequality, but will not affect the top 1% under the assumption that the historical pattern of long-run substitution will continue.

The future of employment: How susceptible are jobs to computerisation?
TL;DR: In this paper, a Gaussian process classifier was used to estimate the probability of computerisation for 702 detailed occupations, and the expected impacts of future computerisation on US labour market outcomes, with the primary objective of analyzing the number of jobs at risk and the relationship between an occupations probability of computing, wages and educational attainment.

Erik Brynjolfsson,Andrew McAfee +1 more
TL;DR: The Second Machine Age identifies the best strategies for survival and offer a new path to prosperity including revamping education so that it prepares people for the next economy instead of the last one, designing new collaborations that pair brute processing power with human ingenuity, and embracing policies that make sense in a radically transformed landscape.

Skills, Tasks and Technologies: Implications for Employment and Earnings
Daron Acemoglu,David H. Autor +1 more
TL;DR: This paper propose a task-based model in which the assignment of skills to tasks is endogenous and technical change may involve the substitution of machines for certain tasks previously performed by labor, and they show how such a framework can be used to interpret several central recent trends.
The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies
TL;DR: The second machine age work progress and prosperity in the time of brilliant technologies was discussed in this article, where the authors suggest to search the book that you love to read first or find an interesting book that will make you want to read.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why Are There Still So Many Jobs? The History and Future of Workplace Automation
TL;DR: The authors argue that the interplay between machine and human comparative advantage allows computers to substitute for workers in performing routine, codifiable tasks while amplifying the comparative advantage of workers in supplying problem-solving skills, adaptability, and creativity.
