    Abstract Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) technology have spurred a re-examination of technology’s impacts on jobs and the economy. This article reviews several key contributions to the current jobs/AI debate, discusses their limitations and offers a modified approach, analysing two quantitative models in tandem. One uses robot stock data from the International Federation of Robotics as the primary indicator of robot use, whereas the other uses online job postings requiring robot-related skills. Together, the models suggest that since the Great Recession ended, robots have contributed positively to manufacturing employment in the USA at the metropolitan level.

    Leigh and Kraft offer information on the Alabama Robotics Technology Park (RTP) which is a unique facility and public workforce development program that provides robotics training and research and development space to manufacturing firms and their employees in Alabama. The RTP originated out of recognition that cultivating a local robotics skill-base could fortify business attraction and retention efforts. They also discuss how the RTP differs from traditional workforce development models by focusing on an emerging technological process rather than an industry sector and address how the RTP aligns with existing statewide economic and workforce development programs and considers future implications for this model in a time of rapid technological change.
