The race against the robots and the fallacy of the giant cheesecake : immediate and imagined impacts of artificial intelligence

Naudé, Wim - 2019

After a number of AI-winters, AI is back with a boom. There are concerns that it will disrupt society. The immediate concern is whether labor can win a 'race against the robots' and the longer-term concern is whether an artificial general intelligence (super-intelligence) can be controlled. This...

Artificial intelligence, jobs, inequality and productivity : does aggregate demand matter?

Gries, Thomas; Naudé, Wim - 2018

Rapid technological progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has been predicted to lead to mass unemployment, rising inequality, and higher productivity growth through automation. In this paper we critically re-assess these predictions by (i) surveying the recent literature and (ii)...

Artificial intelligence, income distribution and economic growth

Gries, Thomas; Naudé, Wim - 2020

The economic impact of Articial Intelligence (AI) is studied using a (semi) endogenous growth model with two novel features. First, the task approach from labor economics is reformulated and integrated into a growth model. Second, the standard representative household assumption is rejected, so...

The race of man and machine: implications of technology when abilities and demand constraints matter

Gries, Thomas; Naudé, Wim - 2021

In "The Race between Man and Machine: Implications of Technology for Growth, Factor Shares, and Employment," Acemoglu and Restrepo (2018b) combine the task-based model of the labor market with an endogenous growth model to model the economic consequences of artificial intelligence (AI). This...

AI and robotics : implications for the poor

Braun, Joachim von - 2019

Artificial intelligence and robotics (AI/R) have the potential to result in great change of livelihoods. While individual impacts of AI/R on, for instance, employment, have been subject to a lot of research, how AI/R may affect the poor is scarce. This paper aims to draw attention to how AI/R...
