Description

Investigating artificial intelligence risks for the Australian workforce. The project aims to examine the way that office software is increasingly used to gather data from Australian workers to train the artificial intelligence that may replace them. The project expects to produce new knowledge on the consequences of artificial intelligence for workers and businesses through surveys and interviews of digital workers and businesses. Expected outcomes include a report identifying the risks to workers jobs in sectors most dependent of office software, and recommendations for potential retraining needs for affected workers. Benefits include a better understanding of potential social and economic consequences of artificial intelligence driven job losses. . Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
