A bidirectional model mapping labour and AI intensities}, booktitle = {AIES 2020 - Proceedings of the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society}, year = {2020}, pages = {94{\textendash}100}, abstract = {In this paper we present a setting for examining the relation between the distribution of research intensity in AI research and the relevance for a range of work tasks (and occupations) in current and simulated scenarios. We perform a mapping between labour and AI using a set of cognitive abilities as an intermediate layer. This setting favours a two-way interpretation to analyse (1) what impact current or simulated AI research activity has or would have on labour-related tasks and occupations, and (2) what areas of AI research activity would be responsible for a desired or undesired effect on specific labour tasks and occupations. Concretely, in our analysis we map 59 generic labour-related tasks from several worker surveys and databases to 14 cognitive abilities from the cognitive science literature, and these to a comprehensive list of 328 AI benchmarks used to evaluate progress in AI techniques. We provide this model and its implementation as a tool for simulations. We also show the effectiveness of our setting with some illustrative examples.}, keywords = {AI benchmarks, AI impact, AI intensity, Labour market, Simulation, tasks}, isbn = {9781450371100}, doi = {10.1145/3375627.3375831}, author = {Mart{\textquoteright}nez-Plumed, Fernando and Tolan, Song{\textquoteright}l and Pesole, Annarosa and Hern{\textquoteright}ndez-Orallo, Jos{\'e} and Fern{\textquoteright}ndez-Mac{\textquoteright}as, Enrique and G{\textquoteright}mez, Emilia} }
