Gymnasieelever i en automatiseradframtid: : Attityder till AI, arbetsmarknad och politikens roll

Sammanfattning

This study examines high school students' attitudes toward automation and artificialintelligence (AI), with a focus on the labor market and their perspectives on the future.Through a quantitative survey completed by 70 students at Peder Skrivares Gymnasium, weanalyzed how young people perceive the impact of automation on their future jobopportunities and whether they view AI development as a positive (utopian) or negative(dystopian) force. The study employs theoretical frameworks related to utopia/dystopia andpolitical agency to interpret the findings.The results indicate that students generally hold neutral or slightly pessimistic viewsregarding the impact of automation on the labor market but have an overwhelmingly positiveperception of future technologies' potential to improve society. At the same time, studentsfeel limited in their ability to influence AI development themselves but believe thatpoliticians should play a more active role in regulating these technologies. This studycontributes to understanding young people's perspectives on a rapidly evolving societyshaped by automation and AI and highlights the need to include these voices in futureresearch and public discourse.
