About
Karoline Teigland is a leading voice in the study of labor automation, focusing on the nuanced interplay between technological feasibility and real-world adoption. Her research critically examines how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics are reshaping the workforce, moving beyond routine task automation to explore the persistent limits of automating non-routine, autonomous work. In her highly influential 2018 paper, "The Substitution of Labor: From Technological Feasibility to Other Factors Influencing Job Automation" (9 citations), Teigland challenges simplistic narratives of mass job displacement by highlighting the complex economic, organizational, and social factors that govern automation’s pace. Her work provides a vital framework for understanding why certain tasks remain resistant to automation, offering essential insights for policymakers, economists, and technologists. By bridging technical possibility with practical constraints, Teigland has become a key figure in labor economics and technology studies, helping to shape a more realistic and responsible conversation about the future of work in an AI-driven world.
