The Geopolitics of Automation

自动化可能会破坏经济。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影响未来的工作。该项目关注与阿里巴巴和亚马逊（Amazon）在澳大利亚、德国和马来西亚的关联仓库，探讨自动化如何改变劳动条件和地缘政治紧张局势。对仓库自动化技术的数字模拟是中美竞争的关键，将寻求增加对劳动力和领土治理的了解。预期结果包括洞察自动化如何成为政策制定者的地缘政治和经济关注点。福利应该为组织提供策略，以协商自动化对劳动力的影响。

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.
