The changing nature of work in Canada amid recent advances in automation technology / by Kristyn Frank, Zhe Yang and Marc Frenette.: CS36-28-0001/2021-1-4E-PDF
"Rapid developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning have raised questions about the future of work in recent years. Debates have focused primarily on the possibility of job loss resulting from automation technology, with less attention given to how automation may change the nature of workers’ jobs.

Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey (LFS) and Occupational Information Network (O*NET) data from the U.S. Department of Labor were used for this part of the analysis "--Abstract, page 1.
