People Management, 20 September 2023
Oxford professors who published a seminal 2013 paper warning of widespread occupational displacement now say the impacts will instead be strike action and wage depression.
This project explores how the analysis of online generated labour market data can help us understand the relevance of new skills and sustainability of novel occupations.
The project studies algorithmic image search, inspiration and creativity in professional creative work. It uses visual art as a facilitation method, using visual language to describe a visual research problem.
This project studies the adoption, use, and effects of AI in commercial and public service news organisations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
