Amazing workshop on the Politics of AI with wonderful people at Nuffield! Such a priviledge

Thank you @mhaslberger.bsky.social @benansell.bsky.social for the warm hospitality!

I'm excited to share the schedule for the Politics of AI workshop I have the pleasure of co-hosting together with @benansell.bsky.social at @nuffieldcollege.bsky.social next week.

Very interesting and surprising results: the left cannot downplay contestation on cultural issues; socdem and radical left are two significantly different things

Great work! #OA

The Real Digital Revolution At Work: Why Platformisation Matters More Than Robots The digital transformation of work isn't destroying jobs through automation—it's fundamentally reshaping how work is organised, managed and controlled.

Early policy action doesn’t depend on mass automation 🤖

"The implications for policy would be profoundly different—requiring us to focus less on job numbers and more on ensuring that technological change enhances rather than diminishes the quality of working life."

Mercoledì 17/9 a #Espanet2025 (Torino) abbiamo presentato il numero 3/2024 di @politichesociali.bsky.social:
“Addio #welfare all’italiana? Mutamento e resistenze tra investimento e protezione sociale”
Plenaria molto partecipata: grazie a tutte e tutti! 🙌
📸 Qualche momento dalla sessione ⬇️

"In the short term, questions of politics and polity will be more important to protect liberal democracy from the far right. But economic and social policies will play an important role in shaping the conditions for far-right party support in the long run." 👇

📊 @mhaslberger.bsky.social, Jane Gingrich, and Jasmine Bhatia explore how exposure to AI shapes social policy preferences in a UK survey experiment.

💡 Their key finding: when faced with AI, people want support, not just protection

The party politics of the digital transformation: insights from the Italian case Digital transformation has become an increasingly important policy concern for European decision-makers, though its prominence in political debate remains uncertain. Existing literature on the sali...

Screening manifestos, we show that M5S pioneered the digitalization debate in 2013, prompting engagement from PD and centrists
🟦Liberals & conservatives frame it as a tool for streamlining public administration
🟥Centre-left focuses on expanding digital public services

Do Italian parties care about digitalization—and how do they frame it?
In new #OA paper on Contemporary Italian Politics, Edoardo Bressanelli, Stefano Sacchi, Dario Pio Muccilli and I find a sharp rise in issue salience over the past decade, with marked ideological divides

Many thanks to the editors of the SI “Public Opinion and the Welfare State: Sources, Processes, and Consequences” — @miroslavnemcok.bsky.social, Zhen Im, Maria Grasso, and Franco Bonomi Bezzo — for the opportunity to contribute to this discussion

To avoid the painful - and dangerously polarizing - trade-off between rearmament and social protection, the adoption of new common debt instruments in the EU becomes imperative

Support for welfare cuts is higher in countries with consistently high military spending. However, we also observe a ‘thermostatic’ effect: recent increases in defence budgets, especially in the EU, are associated with growing public resistance to welfare retrenchment

Concern about warfare does not significantly shape preferences. Instead, socioeconomic insecurity activates self-interested policy attitudes

Despite strong public opposition to all welfare cutbacks proposed in our survey (with social assistance cuts seen as least unacceptable), political ideology acts as a key driver: opposition to cuts decreases steadily from the radical left to the right

‘Guns versus butter’ in public opinion: the politicization of the warfare-welfare trade-off The intensification of military conflict is leading to sharp increases in military spending across advanced democracies. As public budgets are constrained, the welfare state is a candidate for savi...

Rearmament challenges modern welfare states, pitting military vs. social spending.
In our new #OA article in @jeppjournal.bsky.social, Stefano Sacchi, Caroline de la Porte and I show that citizens prioritize the welfare state—though important divisions emerge

Gli italiani accettano più spesa per la difesa solo se non penalizza il welfare. I moderati, FI inclusa, appaiono meno ostili a questo scambio rispetto a destra e sinistra. Il debito comune europeo emerge come un imperativo di sostenibilità finanziaria e legittimità democratica

Oggi sul @mm-corriere-bot.bsky.social un articolo di Maurizio Ferrera e Stefano Sacchi sul dilemma tra riarmo e spesa sociale. In coda, due brevi approfondimenti sull’opinione pubblica, basati su dati dei progetti SCOaPP e Solid, a cura mia e di Davide Caprioglio 🧵
