Three Results From Recent Research on Advanced Technology Use and Automation

Three Results From Recent Research on Advanced Technology Use and Automation

Using robots to automate tasks is becoming increasingly common, even outside of manufacturing — for example, in fast food restaurant kitchens and hospitals. Similarly, recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) suggest that AI is increasingly able to perform tasks (e.g., compose music, write poetry, and generate images) until recently believed to be reserved for humans. In general, the diffusion of advanced technologies like robotics and AI is accompanied by questions about whether they will mainly augment workers’ skills or substitute for them.

In this blog, we describe research 1 on advanced technologies (defined in Box 1) and their potential effects […]
