“…The inadequacy of existing literature suggests the need to examine automation of low-skilled, routine and manual jobs in developing countries. Second, whereas most literature on perceptions of automation does not attend to specific contexts, Mulas-Granados et al (2019) suggest developmental and information contexts influence how workers perceive automation. Accordingly, this article embeds the analysis of automation within the macro-contexts of developmentalism – i.e.…”

According to the same study, respondents who had heard of AI were more likely to have a favourable view of it (Mulas-Granados et al, 2019). An analysis of low- and middle-skilled workers in 11 countries finds workers feel more positive than negative about automation.…”
