Research

Carl Benedikt Frey Biography Dr Carl Benedikt Frey

Frey's research has caused much debate about the future of work: in a 2013 study co-authored by Michael Osborne, he estimated that 47 percent of jobs in the United States are at risk of automation. In 2016, President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors used the same approach, showing that mainly low-income jobs in the United States are likely to be automated.

The World Bank has also applied his methodology to developing countries, estimating that 77 percent of jobs in China, 69 percent of jobs in India, and 85 percent of jobs in Ethiopia, are at risk of automation. In an interview with Martin Wolf on BBC Radio 4, Frey suggested that while automation might constitute a watershed for labour markets, it is not going to mean the end of work.
