About the Institute
The Labor Risk Institute is an independent research organization focused on understanding how automation and artificial intelligence affect workers and labor markets.
Mission
The Labor Risk Institute was established to provide rigorous, empirical research on the labor market implications of technological change. We aim to inform public discourse, guide policy decisions, and help workers understand how automation may affect their occupations.
Our work bridges the gap between academic research and practical application, translating complex economic analysis into accessible insights for policymakers, journalists, and the general public.
