Bridging The Gap: How Sociology Informs Fair Economic Solutions in the Age of AI

Challoumis, Constantinos (2025): Bridging The Gap: How Sociology Informs Fair Economic Solutions in the Age of AI.

Abstract

It is time to consider seriously how sociology can inform more fit economic solutions in an age of AI - not only in light of recent evolutions in the socio-technical environment, but also because this may be central to the European project more than it has before. Economic discussions are regularly had, be it concerning Global Europe’s trade policy or the difficulties the EU has encountered with the Euro, but how these economic concerns are debated and resolved will have an unexpected urgency in 2020. Striking is that whilst trade and currency will certainly loom large in the Commission’s List of Reflection Papers for the rest of the mandate, just as tech, the terms of the latter debate in a European context, at least, may carry less certainty. But they (trade policy, monetary union, labour markets, technology) are all bound up.
