About

Isabelle Chappuis is a leading voice in the future of work, specializing in the intersection of labor economics, robotics, and strategic human capital management. Her research provides critical frameworks for understanding and mitigating the societal disruptions caused by automation and artificial intelligence. Her most influential work, "How to compete with robots by assessing job automation risks and resilient alternatives" (2022, 35 citations), offers a pragmatic methodology for evaluating occupational vulnerability to technological displacement and identifying pathways toward resilient career paths. This paper has become a key reference for economists and policymakers grappling with the social consequences of AI. Chappuis further extends this foresight in her 2023 work, "Towards 2030: future-proofing human capital management," where she translates these macro-level risks into actionable strategies for HR professionals. She champions the use of foresight thinking to proactively shape organizational talent strategies in an era of pervasive digitization. By bridging rigorous risk assessment with practical workforce planning, Chappuis empowers both individuals and institutions to navigate the transition toward an automated future, making her a vital thinker for students and researchers concerned with the human side of technological change.
