The effects of automation in labour have rarely been studied approaching one single emergent technology with the potential to swiftly change employment patterns. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to create disruptive effects in the employment systems across the world. The future deployment of broad-spectrum algorithms capable of being used in wide areas of application (e.g. industrial robotics, software and data communication) can lead to considerable changes in current work patterns, swiftly render many unemployed across the globe and profoundly destabilise labour relations. Project InteliArt aims to identify the probable penetration of AI in the next decade and to study its effects on work organization, employment and industrial relations systems in a selection of European countries.
