The labour market and artificial intelligence
Technologies based on artificial intelligence have been impressing us with their seemingly ever-increasing potential benefits and the rapid speed with which they complete tasks. There are strong expectations that these technologies will have a lasting impact on the world of work. How will these technologies actually spread, and how will this affect employees? These are important questions that the IAB is addressing in its research.
We have compiled a list of IAB publications and projects related to the subject of the labour market and artificial intelligence on a dedicated page.
