Artificial Intelligence and Heterogeneous Unemployment Risk Across Regions: Scenario-Based Projections of Alternative Policy Responses in Taiwan
Key Points
This research aims to understand how artificial intelligence affects unemployment risk in different regions of Taiwan and explores policy responses.
Examined AI exposure across various regions and occupations
Analyzed the impact on unemployment risk using scenario-based projections
Evaluated alternative policy responses for workforce adaptation
AI exposure leads to higher unemployment risk in technology-intensive regions
Certain occupations face greater job loss due to AI integration
Recommended targeted policies can reduce regional unemployment disparities
Abstract
AI exposure is unevenly distributed, concentrating risk in technology-intensive regions and occupations. Targeted workforce adaptation policies are needed to mitigate unemployment and regional disparities.
