Critics Review
An enjoyable read from cover to cover and addresses issues that are relevant to readers from all professions, whether they have an interest in law or not. We are all impacted by the world of work, and Aloisi and De Stefano’s book makes a meaningful contribution to the conversation. * Osgoode Hall Law Journal *
Technology is fundamentally revolutionising the world of work - in this magisterial contribution, Aloisi and De Stefano traverse the impact of innovation on jobs, from the prospect of full automation to platform work and future-proofing labour law. It will be of great value to scholars and practitioners in law, labour market economics, and beyond. * Jeremias Adams-Prassl, Professor of Law, Oxford University, UK *
Your Boss is an Algorithm is an indispensable resource to anyone thinking about how to understand and govern technology at work. Aloisi and De Stefano provide brilliant—and urgent—analysis of platform labor and the role of artificial intelligence in constraining our collective futures. But more critically, they provide a ‘future-proof’ framework to regulate innovation. * Veena Dubal, Professor of Law, University of California Hastings College of the Law, USA *
Most valuable resource for scholars and practitioners in law, labor economics, and related fields. [It] offers a comprehensive, exquisitely written, and thought-provoking exploration of the digital transformation of work and what it means for workers. * Labor History *
Aloisi and De Stefano offer an important contribution to prevent the displacement of labour and prioritize the wellbeing of the worker in an era of rapid technological change. * Organization Studies *
Your Boss Is an Algorithm significantly contributes to ongoing debates concerning the impact of new AI technology on social life in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The authors thoughtfully raise important concerns about the impact of AI-driven technological change on the future of work and how to protect workers’ basic rights and social life, such as the potential economic and social inequality exacerbated by AI technology and automation. * Industrial Law Journal *
