Anticipating the Ethical Implications of Automation: A Cross-Country Study Using Generative Artificial Intelligence to Visualize Future Work Scenarios

Published
Record updated

Summary

Researchers studied how workers in automation-related sectors anticipate ethical concerns about automation and robotics. Using generative AI to create visual scenarios, they ran a visual Q-study with 90 participants in Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, who ranked scenarios by how worrying they found them. Three composite views emerged, centred on controlling automation to prevent ecological and security risks, valuing robots while cautioning against close human–robot integration, and concerns about changing work dynamics and inclusivity.
