خودکارسازی و مشاغل
Automation, robotics and AI take over some tasks, assist others and create new ones. Whether this displaces workers, raises productivity and wages or does both depends on the tasks involved, how firms deploy technology and how institutions support transitions. This page sets out how automation affects jobs, how exposure and impact are measured, and what evidence serves the policymakers, employers and unions responsible.
Automation and jobs on the record.
Automation and jobs: how the risk develops.
AI/robotics impact and job redesign. The dossier below sets out how the risk develops, what is measured, where the data come from, how it is modelled and who decides.
Tasks, not whole jobs
Most occupations combine tasks that can be automated with tasks that cannot. Automation reshapes jobs more often than it eliminates them outright.
Displacement and reinstatement
Technology displaces labour from some tasks and creates new tasks that need people. Net effects depend on the balance between the two.
Productivity gains may not reach wages
If gains accrue mainly to capital owners, automation can raise output while wages stagnate for exposed workers.
Transitions are costly for individuals
Displaced workers often face long unemployment or lower pay in new jobs, especially older workers and those in declining regions.
How automation and jobs is modelled, measured and tested.

مدل سامانه
The couplings between the systems in automation and jobs: signs of influence, a reinforcing and a balancing loop, and cross-links where stress jumps.
Automation exposure differs by domain.
Findings are designed for the مجموعهٔ Exponential Technology. The ILO’s 2023 working paper estimates exposure, which is not job loss.
- Firm adoption data.
- Worker surveys.
What is measured, and how well.
Each indicator carries its unit, its cadence, the kind of source behind it and the evidence label a value would carry. No values are shown: a programme supplies them under its own authority.
| Indicator | Unit | دورهٔ تکرار | Source type | برچسب |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Employment in occupations with high automation exposure | percent of employment | per assessment | Task-based exposure studies | برآوردشده |
| Firms using AI or robots | percent of firms | per survey | Business surveys | گزارش‌شده |
| Displaced worker re-employment rate | percent re-employed within a year | per survey | Displaced worker surveys | گزارش‌شده |
| Wage change after displacement | percent | per survey | Linked employer-employee data | برآوردشده |
| Labour share of income | percent of GDP | annual | National accounts | برآوردشده |
| New job titles emerging | count | annual | Occupational classification updates and job postings | مشاهده‌شده |

What researchers ask about automation.
- Which tasks can current AI and robots perform reliably and at acceptable cost?
- When does technology substitute for workers and when does it complement them?
- How are productivity gains shared between firms, workers and consumers?
- How can jobs be redesigned so people keep meaningful, skilled work?
Displacement, productivity and new work.
Automation has a displacement effect, as machines take over tasks, and a productivity effect, as lower costs raise demand and employment elsewhere. Historically, new tasks and occupations have also emerged, reinstating demand for labour. The balance between these forces determines the net effect on employment and wages.
Industrial robots mainly automate physical, repetitive tasks in manufacturing and logistics. Generative AI reaches cognitive tasks such as drafting, summarising and coding. Evidence from early workplace studies suggests AI assistance can raise productivity, sometimes most for less experienced workers, but effects vary widely by task and implementation. What employers choose to automate, and how, matters as much as technical capability.
Evidence on automation and its limits.
- 01
Task exposure measures
Matching technology capabilities to occupational task descriptions, informed by هوش مصنوعی و یادگیری ماشین and robotics and automation. Measures depend on judgements about capability that age quickly.
- 02
Robot adoption studies
Linking robot installations to local employment and wages with econometrics. Results differ between countries and periods.
- 03
Workplace experiments
Randomised or natural experiments in firms adopting AI, using علوم اجتماعی و رفتاری. Short-run effects may not reflect long-run change.
- 04
Job redesign case studies
How organisations reorganise work around new tools. Case studies illustrate possibilities rather than averages.
How it is studied, and what the methods cannot say.
