One of the Policy Lab’s main aims is to engage in international comparative policy reviews in conjunction with international institutions. To this end, it has initiated a transatlantic dialogue on Artificial Intelligence and work with the aim of bringing together leading experts in technology development and application as well as researchers from the United States and Europe.
This transatlantic dialogue is exploring the following issues:
- Artificial Intelligence, work and society
- Trends in Artificial Intelligence and politics in Europe and the United States
- Innovations in Artificial Intelligence – separating the hype from reality
- Regulatory challenges of Artificial Intelligence
- Business models for intelligent tools and systems and their implications for work
- Competition policy in the platform economy
- Labour market, income developments and qualification in the era of learning systems
The Policy Lab is currently running two research projects within the context of the transatlantic dialogue:
- “Work governance in the digital knowledge work”
- “AI in operational practice”
Transatlantic cooperation resulted in several publications:
- Zysman, Kenney, Tyson: Beyond Hype and Despair: Developing Healthy Communities in the Era of Intelligent Tools
- Bearson, Kenney, Zysman: New Work and Value Creation in the Platform Economy: A Taxonomy and Preliminary Evidence
- Kenney, Bearson, Zysman: The Platform Economy Matures: Pervasive Power, Private Regulation, and Dependent Entrepreneurs
- Eldred, Borrus, Sangiovanni-Vincentelli et al.: AI and Domain Knowledge: Implications of the Limits of Statistical Inference
