The Geopolitics of Automation

自动化威胁经济破坏。该项目旨在了解中国和美国在开发自动化技术方面的竞争如何塑造未来的工作。该项目以澳大利亚、德国和马来西亚与阿里巴巴和亚马逊相关的仓库为重点，探讨自动化如何改变劳动条件并改变地缘政治紧张局势。对中美竞争关键的仓库自动化技术进行数字模拟，将寻求增加有关劳动力和领土治理的知识。预期成果包括深入了解自动化如何成为政策制定者的地缘政治和经济问题。利益应该为组织谈判自动化对劳动力的影响提供战略。

Automation threatens economic disruption. The Project aims to understand how competition between China and the US to develop automated technologies shapes the future of work. Focusing on warehouses linked to Alibaba and Amazon in Australia, Germany and Malaysia, the Project asks how automation changes labour conditions and modifies geopolitical tensions. Digital simulations of automated technologies in warehouses key to the China-US rivalry will seek to augment knowledge about the governance of labour and territory. Intended outcomes include insights into how automation is a geopolitical and economic concern for policy makers. Benefits should offer strategies for organisations negotiating automation’s effects on workforces.
