About

Edward Lorenz is a contemporary researcher whose work sits at the intersection of technology, labor economics, and organizational studies. Specializing in the diffusion and workforce implications of artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation technologies, Lorenz has made meaningful contributions to our understanding of how emerging technologies reshape skills requirements and work organization in both public and private sector contexts. His research draws on rich empirical datasets, notably the 2019 Danish TASK Survey, which captures employee-level data on work organization, skills gaps, and training practices — offering unusually granular insight into human-technology interaction in modern workplaces. Through studies such as "Ready, but Challenged" (2020) and "The Impact of Robots and AI/ML on Skills and Work Organisation" (2021), Lorenz examines the extent to which workers possess the competencies needed to engage productively alongside intelligent automation systems. While his citation counts remain modest — reflecting the recency of this work — his focus on Denmark's innovation-forward economy positions his research as a valuable contribution to ongoing policy debates about workforce readiness, upskilling, and the future of work in an increasingly automated global economy.
