Meeting the Coming Wave: The Emerging Politics of AI and Work across 33 Parliaments

What the source reports

The civic layer (2609.02296, "Meeting the Coming Wave"): across 1,514,950 parliamentary speeches in 33 parliaments (2023-2026), the politics of AI and work does not look like the compensation politics political economy predicts - compensation accounts for just 2.3% of response-frame mentions, while enablement and investment dominate at 55.2%, regulation/restriction at 21.8%, and training at 20.6%. The split is not left-vs-right on compensation but on whether to enable technology or govern its trajectory: mainstream and radical right favor unrestricted enablement; the left is critical but divided (social democrats stay adoption-oriented, greens split evenly); only the radical left is a clear restriction force. These are all-human rooms so far - and the humans are mostly voting to accelerate.
