Opening the Frey/Osborne Black Box: Which Tasks of a Job are Susceptible to Computerization? (1604.08823v2)
Published 29 Apr 2016 in cs.CY
Abstract: In their seminal paper, Frey and Osborne quantified the automation of jobs, by assigning each job in the O*NET database a probability to be automated. In this paper, we refine their results in the following way: Every O*NET job consists of a set of tasks, and these tasks can be related. We use a linear program to assign probabilities to tasks, such that related tasks have a similar probability and the tasks can explain the computerization probability of a job. Analyzing jobs on the level of tasks helps comprehending the results, as experts as well as laymen can more easily criticize and refine what parts of a job are susceptible to computerization.
