Keynes Fund Research - Impact of Automation & Job Loss Fears on Political Preferences - Chris Rauh

Large shifts towards automation, robots, and artificial intelligence have been uprooting the labour market. Computing power has grown exponentially, thus leading to great advances in artificial intelligence, with applications that span diverse tasks, from self-driving cars to cancer detection. While these advances improve the working lives and leisure activities of some, they also pose a threat to the jobs of many workers.
With the Covid-19 pandemic accelerating the development and adoption of new technologies to replace human labour, it is important to understand how the threat posed by pending automation will impact today's society.
The authors analyse survey data from a representative sample of almost 4,300 workers in the United States (US) to document individual perceptions of the current automation threat and workers' responses to this perceived risk.
