AI will terminate Australia

In his 2019 book. The Technology Trap: Capital, Labour and Power in the Age of Automation, Carl Benedikt Frey covers the history of the Industrial Revolution and how it affected society:

Frey’s argument rests on the distinction between labour-enabling technologies and labour-replacing technologies. As the names suggest, labour-enabling technologies complement workers, boosting productivity and opening up avenues for new employment, while labour-replacing technologies boot workers out of the labour market entirely, forcing them to re-skill or search for other opportunities.

The Technology Trap serves as a timely reminder that while technological change may benefit everyone over the long […]

Could artificial intelligence really boost labour productivity?

Artificial intelligence has long been theorised as a cure for the West’s ailing productivity growth . As the McKinsey Global Institute has shown, workplace productivity growth has been stagnant for about 40 years. But the discourse on the productivity effects of AI has been almost entirely speculative. Until recently, evidence of large-scale exposure to AI was absent from data.

In the last 10 years, scholars such as Daron Acemoglu and David Autor have shown how computerisation has led to an intra-firm re-allocation of skills and corresponding wage premiums via skill-biased technological change. Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo showed that the equilibrium […]

The Impact of Automation on Employment: Just the Usual Structural Change?
