That is why, IDD LAC directors, Andrés Piazza and Andrés Sastre, had an interesting dialogue with the article’s authors. Those are Raúl Katz, an international specialist in telecommunications and technology. Director of Corporate Strategy Studies at the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information, President of Telecom Advisory Services, a company specializing in consultancy for the telecommunications sector.

And the third author is Juan Jung, who is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, ICADE, Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Madrid, Spain and consultant at Telecom Advisory Services.
The three guests worked on this document, which provides a thorough review of the latest research around the expected effects of automation on employment levels and takes several empirical approaches that estimate the effects in an emerging country like Chile.
Also, the study makes a series of recommendations for active public policies that must be formulated and implemented to achieve potential employment gains and mitigate possible negative effects, specially on vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.
The conversation aimed to analyze the case study and the implications that can be extrapolated to all of Latin America, in addition to the public policy decisions to be developed.
