“Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could entail elsewhere — a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” noted University of Notre Dame associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs Yong Suk Lee. “We need to be ready for this new reality.”

Yong Suk Lee, associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs at Notre Dame's Keough 91ÊÓÆµ of Global Affairs, was the lead author for the study, published in Labour Economics.

Research by the University of Notre Dame and Stanford used Artificial Intelligence to precisely map three model cities, analyzing urban decay and identifying solutions to increase the well-being of citizens. The possible solution to the problem may have been found by Yong Suk Lee, assistant professor of technology, economics and global affairs at the Keough 91ÊÓÆµ of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame, and Andrea Vallebueno of Stanford University.

However, measuring and tracking the quality of an urban environment, its evolution and its spatial disparities is difficult due to the amount of on-the-ground data needed to capture these patterns. To address the issue, Yong Suk Lee, assistant professor of technology, economy and global affairs in the Keough 91ÊÓÆµ of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame, and Andrea Vallebueno from Stanford University used machine learning to develop a scalable method to measure urban decay at a spatially granular level over time.

The adoption of new technology could mean fewer jobs or part-time work for employees, said Yong Suk Lee, assistant professor of technology, economy and global affairs at the University of Notre Dame, where he focuses on AI’s impact on labor.

With the impact of industrial robots on the US labor markets in the past two decades, and an ever-increasing presence of machine-driven technology (such as artificial intelligence and ChatGPT), many employees have feared that one day robots will take their jobs. Not necessarily so, according to research recently published by Yong Suk Lee, an assistant professor in the University of Notre Dame’s Keough 91ÊÓÆµ of Global Affairs.
