The car crisis tops today’s EU summit but leaders keep staring at the wrong problem
The issue isn’t the 2035 engine ban - it’s demand falling off a cliff today
With @sandertordoir.bsky.social and @lucasguttenberg.bsky.social, we show why flipping regs won’t help - and what the EU can do instead.
New piece on Social Europe, on the impact of the digital revolution on work and why platformisation ultimately matters more than automation #EconSky #sociology @lauranurski.bsky.social @sergiotorrejon.com
a third of EU workers report using #AI for work-related purposes. Digital #monitoring is common, particularly for working hours and entry or exit. #AlgorithmicManagement is less prevalent but also quite significant

Teacher bias or unobserved ability? @ssreditorial.bsky.social paper w/ @marespadafor.bsky.social Test score error & omitted behavior = 🐘 in the (class)room to identify SES discrimination.

Work is not (yet?) disappearing – it’s being reorganised.
I contributed to a new JRC report that challenges myths about automation & jobs. @quiquefm.bsky.social @sergiotorrejon.com

Digital tools are changing how we work (either in front of computers or using mobile/wearable digital devices), how work is organised (labour platforms and new forms of outsourcing) and controlled (digital monitoring, algorithmic management). The challenge is job quality, not mass unemployment.
A summary table with the main findings of the report "Work in the Digital Era: How Technology is Transforming Work and Occupations"
We argue that robots are not destroying jobs in a significant way, computers are not polarising labour markets, and AI tends to complement rather than substitute labour. In our view, the main impact of digital technologies has been on the nature and organisation of work, not on employment numbers.
Table of contents of the report "Work in the Digital Era: How Technology is Transforming Work and Occupations"
In the research summarised in this report, we try to confront dominant narratives with carefully compiled evidence. In the last few years there has been a kind of "automation anxiety" which in our view is completely unsupported by data.

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.
I wrote a new piece for foreign policy.
The US's postwar role as guarantor of Europe’s security is over – and may even turn adversarial. But Europe has an overlooked trump card.
When it comes to manufacturing Europe blows the US out of the water.
