AI & The Future of Work
Thought leadership from Credit Suisse Research and the world's foremost experts

Introduction
Big data and advances in computing power have
triggered a technological revolution that have
enormous bearing on the workplace and the labor
market. Machines and robots are improving their
capacities rapidly through articial intelligence (AI)
and innovations in design and structure. But how
this digital revolution will affect rms, workers and
their livelihoods is yet to be better understood.
Headline-grabbing assessments of the future
of work predict polarizations and an increasing
number of individuals in good and bad jobs, while
hollowing out the middle class. Trends since the
1970s conrm this specter of polarization in the
USA and the UK, but so far not in continental
European countries. However, while the future
transformation will be profound, it may be rela-
tively slow, leaving time for many workers
to adapt to the changes in the demand for labor.
There is an inherent difculty for established
companies to truly unleash the full potential of
AI as their core strategy. It may now be time for
management to think beyond the process of
innovation, and also consider alternative budget-
ing approaches and capital structures to fuel the
critical work surrounding AI.
Platforms that facilitate the exchange of goods
and services are fostering an ever-growing gig
economy, an employment concept in which
people are paid for each specic short-term
task. The most important challenge is to ensure
that incomes are predictable and high enough to
ensure a reasonable quality of life. However, too
much regulation of freelance work could result in
the curtailing or even demise of the gig economy.
While AI promises substantial advances in
productivity, it should not threaten or violate
human dignity. Accordingly, the legal and ethi-
cal challenges of free entrepreneurship
and the need to gather vast amounts of data
to develop AI are discussed in the nal section
of this report.
We hope that our ndings will prove valuable and
I wish you a most insightful and enjoyable read.

What technological change
means for the future of work
These developments in technology are exciting,
and bring enormous improvements, especially
for consumers and entrepreneurs, but they also
fuel fears that expanding articial intelligence
and machine capabilities may make humans
obsolete in the production process. Our ob-
jective is to discuss how and why these fears
come about, whether they were true in the
recent past, and to what extent they will apply
in the near future. Specically, we rst sketch a
framework that allows us to discuss the effects
of machines on employment. This framework
is an abstraction of the real world, but is useful
to assess how machines affect employment.
Second, we review how technology has affected
employment in the recent past. Third, we dis-
cuss what the future of work could look like.
Analytical framework
We adopt a framework developed by Acemoglu
and Autor (2011) on task allocation to discuss
how technology affects employment. The frame-
work starts with the premise that rms employ
workers to fulll tasks. A task is a unit of work
that is directly needed in production. Tasks differ
in terms of complexity. Workers supply effort to
perform tasks and differ in terms of their skills,
where “skill” refers to the capability to perform
tasks. Simple tasks can be performed easily by
skilled and unskilled workers, but complex tasks
Big data and advances in computing power have triggered a technological
revolution that may have enormous bearing on the workplace and the
labor market. Machines and robots are improving their capacities rapidly
through artificial intelligence (AI) and innovations in design and structure.
Digital assistants organize schedules, plan trips, and provide answers
to many questions people have. Autonomous cars drive around on our
streets and can bring customers from the pick-up point to any place
they desire.

can only be performed easily by skilled workers.
Workers earn wages that are in line with their
skills. In this context, rms will allocate tasks in
a very intuitive fashion. The low-skilled workers
perform the least complex tasks because their
comparative advantage, the ratio of output to
cost, is highest in these tasks. The high-skilled
workers will perform the most complex tasks,
and intermediate-skilled workers perform the
skills of intermediate complexity. Workers
perform the tasks that correspond to their
level of skill.
Technology in the form of machines, robots or
digital assistants competes with humans for
tasks. Machines in factories and computers in
workplaces have taken on the repetitive, but
cognitively demanding work of, for instance,
ofce clerks (automatic teller machines). Fewer
workers with intermediate skills are needed to
execute tasks of intermediate complexity, and
these workers then compete with both low-
skilled and high-skilled workers for low- and
high-complexity tasks. Intermediate-level jobs
will fare less well, with lower employment and
lower wages. According to this line of reasoning,
technology has led to a hollowing out of the
middle class, a phenomenon called polarization.
However, technology may also have been used
to replace workers of low complexity. In this
case, employment in highly-paid jobs grows
