This is the fourth interdisciplinary conference about the use of artificial intelligence in white collar work and implications for the labour market. White collar work is increasingly important in employment. Meanwhile, it performs a number of tasks that are susceptible to AI-induced automation. At the conference, researchers will present their current research. We welcome researchers in economics, computer-science, informatics, statistics, management, law, sociology, and other related fields. To benefit the research presented, we aim for an active and close interaction between participants, akin to a workshop.
12 papers will be selected for presentation.
35 minutes presentation of the paper.
15 minutes for the discussant of the paper.
10 minutes open discussion.
Every presenter is expected to be a discussant for another paper. The conference includes ample opportunities to network.
Other attendees are welcome, subject to space limitations.
There will also be two keynote speakers.
Venue: Katrinelunds Gästgiveri & Sjökrog, beautifully located by Lake Hjälmaren, 30 mins outside Örebro.
Conference accommodation is covered for presenters, while their economy travel is remunerated up to fixed amounts. Conference meals are covered for all.
