About

Auzbi Gusov is a leading voice in the sociology of technological change, with a focused expertise on the social dimensions of Industry 4.0 in Russia. His work critically examines the interplay between social resources and the risks inherent in the fourth industrial revolution, offering a nuanced understanding of how digital transformation impacts Russian society. His most cited paper, "Social Resources and Risks of Industrial Revolutions 4.0 in Russia" (2019), provides a foundational analysis of the social prerequisites necessary for implementing Industry 4.0 in the Russian context, while also mapping the emerging social risks—such as labor displacement and inequality—that accompany this shift. By synthesizing diverse theoretical approaches to the essence and consequences of the new industrial paradigm, Gusov has established himself as a key interpreter of Russia's unique path through technological disruption. His work is essential for students and researchers seeking to understand the sociotechnical dynamics of industrial modernization in transitional economies, offering both critical insights and a framework for assessing the human costs and opportunities of automation.
