Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) and automation rapidly become integral to the future of work and the global economy, the critical discipline of sociology has a vital role to play. As workers face potential job displacement by AI – and economists disagree on its macroeconomic effects – social science must direct its analytic and normative tools to shape the impacts of new technologies on economic equity. Because the consequences of AI, machine learning, and automation are complex, contingent, and unfolding, scholars and policymakers must develop nimble, adaptable understandings of the ways in which these technologies will shape social dynamics. With tools designed for just this purpose, sociologists are well placed to offer comprehension of, and strategies to engage with, the shifting world that AI will create. By directly intervening in these social dynamics, sociology can play a key part in navigating the economic transition to an AI-powered economy.
