About

Arun Sundararajan is a leading scholar on the intersection of digital technology, work, and economic organization. His research centers on the rise of platform-mediated peer-to-peer exchange and the transformative impact of artificial intelligence and robotics on the labor market. In his highly influential work, "Crowd-Based Capitalism, Digital Automation, and the Future of Work," Sundararajan argues that the confluence of these two digital forces will fundamentally reshape the workplace, making it increasingly difficult for a growing fraction of the population to find stable employment. He is widely recognized for coining and popularizing the term "crowd-based capitalism" to describe this new economic model. His insights have been cited over 6 times in this key paper and have shaped global policy debates on the future of work. Sundararajan’s analysis extends to regional contexts, as seen in his work on automation’s effects on Latin American integration and trade. A professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, he is a sought-after advisor to governments and corporations on navigating the digital transformation of the economy.
