Laburpena

En la primera parte de esta contribución se ha ofrecido una actualización de los trabajos que han estudiado los efectos que está teniendo la automatización y la digitalización sobre el empleo. En esta segunda parte se pretende llamar la atención sobre ciertas consecuencias problemáticas, en el presente y en el futuro, a las que da lugar la digitalización, en particular la Inteligencia Artificial, en una variedad de campos: los efectos sobre la productividad; una desigualdad creciente; la aparición de brechas digitales; los costos ambientales de la automatización y la digitalización; el impacto en los sistemas tributarios; y los peligros y riesgos, tanto en el sector privado como en el público, de la enorme cantidad de datos personales recopilados y su uso, llenando un vacío en la literatura al ofrecer una perspectiva más amplia e integrada sobre el tema.
