About

Nicola Nosengo is a science writer and researcher whose work bridges the worlds of robotics, artificial intelligence, and the future of work. His most impactful contribution, the 2022 paper *“How to compete with robots by assessing job automation risks and resilient alternatives,”* has garnered 35 citations and addresses one of the most pressing socio-economic questions of our time: how to navigate the displacement of human labor by automation and AI. Rather than simply cataloging risks, Nosengo’s research offers a framework for identifying resilient career paths, providing a practical roadmap for workers and policymakers alike. His broader portfolio includes popular science writing, notably the book *“Tales from a Robotic World”* (2022), which explores the gap between futuristic promises of autonomous humanoids and the reality of today’s limited robotics—from rescue drones to robot spouses. Through his accessible yet rigorous analysis, Nosengo has become a key voice in demystifying the societal impact of intelligent machines, helping both students and researchers understand not just the technology, but how we can adapt to thrive alongside it.
