AI & Work

How are machines impacting human jobs, organizations, and economies? 

As advances in robotics and AI revive concerns about the impact of automation on jobs, many questions loom: How will automation affect employment in the workplace, and how will this impact differentially affect different communities, cities, and economies? How will human workers adapt to a world with AI tools, co-workers, and managers? How can employers and policy-makers respond to such challenges? CHM uses tools from economics, behavioral science, complex systems, and urban science to explore this question.
