Occupational, industry, and geographic exposure to artificial intelligence: A novel dataset and its potential uses (2021, result): “We believe that this relationship is in line with current scientific perceptions of AI technologies (e.g., Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2014; Brynjolfsson & Mitchell, 2017) and accordingly provides a measure of support for our methodology.”
Should we fear the robot revolution? (The correct answer is yes) (2018, unknown): “There is a growing perception that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will radically transform the workplace in upcoming decades (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2014; Ford, 2015).”
Development and validation of an artificial intelligence anxiety scale: an initial application in predicting motivated learning behavior (2019, background): “Some scholars and practitioners have argued that automation technologies such as AI will have a particularly disruptive e ﬀ ect on the workforce (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2014).”
GDP-B: Accounting for the Value of New and Free Goods in the Digital Economy (2019, background): “Our 4 Among others, see, for example, Gordon (2016) and Cowen (2011) giving a pessimistic view and Sichel (2016), Mokyr, Vickers and Ziebarth (2015) and Brynjolfsson and McAfee (2011, 2014) giving a more optimistic view.”
Political machinery: did robots swing the 2016 US presidential election? (2018, background): “Recent developments in artificial intelligence and mobile robotics are widely regarded the beginnings of a ‘Second Machine Age’; machines are now able to perform even a wider range of non-routine tasks, such as medical diagnostics, translation work, and driving a car (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2014).”
The Employment Consequences of Robots: Firm-Level Evidence (2020, unknown): “…shifted the comparative advantage from humans to machines for a growing list of occupations (Brynjolfsson and Mitchell 2017, Felten et al. 2019, Frey and Osborne 2017), potentially leaving human labor with substantially fewer activities that can add value (Brynjolfsson and McAfee 2014, Ford 2015).”
