About

Robin Teigland is a leading scholar in the digital economy, whose research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics with labor markets and organizational dynamics. Her major contributions center on critically examining the technological feasibility and real-world factors driving job automation, moving beyond simplistic predictions of mass displacement. Teigland’s work, including her highly cited chapter "The Substitution of Labor" (2019, 11 citations) and its expanded 2018 version (9 citations), provides a nuanced framework for understanding how digitalization reshapes work. She argues that while AI and robotics can automate an increasing variety of tasks, their impact on non-routine, autonomous activities remains limited, highlighting the complex interplay between technological capability and economic, social, and organizational factors. This research has been instrumental in guiding policy discussions and corporate strategy around workforce transformation. A professor at the Stockholm School of Economics and a prominent voice in European innovation circles, Teigland’s work continues to inform how we navigate the evolving relationship between humans and intelligent machines.
