About
Sharyar Siri’s research lies at the critical intersection of artificial intelligence, labor economics, and the future of work, with a particular focus on how technological feasibility translates into real-world job automation. His most-cited work, “The Substitution of Labor: From Technological Feasibility to Other Factors Influencing Job Automation” (2018), provides a nuanced framework for understanding why automation is not solely a technical question. Siri argues that while AI, machine learning, and robotics are rapidly expanding into non-routine tasks, their impact remains constrained by economic, regulatory, and organizational factors—a perspective that has shaped subsequent debates in labor studies. With 9 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference for scholars examining the gap between automation’s technical potential and its actual adoption. Siri’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking to move beyond simplistic narratives of job displacement, offering instead a balanced view of how social and institutional forces mediate technological change. His work continues to inform policy discussions on workforce transitions and the ethical deployment of autonomous systems.
