What does it mean when your “closest colleague” is a robot? How do we experience our daily interaction with AI in our workplaces? To find answers to these and a number of other questions in existing research, the Swedish Agency for Work Environment Expertise initiated a literature review on artificial intelligence, robotisation and the work environment.
The results indicate the importance of skills development and professional experience if automatisation and AI are to serve as wellfunctioning support instead of being a threat to employees’ professional role. Automatisation and the use of AI systems can lead to increased efficiency for some tasks, but reduce it in other cases.

Upcoming project
Increased use of artificial intelligence in the workplace raises new questions about workers’ rights and well-being. The Swedish Agency for Work Environment Expertise is currently compiling existing knowledge to highlight the ethical and legal aspects of AI usage in managerial purposes. The project is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025.
