The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping workplaces, yet its implications for inequality and political behavior remain underexplored. While existing studies have primarily focused on the occupational level, this paper highlights the role of firms as key actors in this transformation. Using a unique combination of datasets from Switzerland, we investigate the political ramifications of firm-level AI exposure. AI adoption is proxied through firms’ recruitment strategies, derived from comprehensive online job vacancy data, and linked to household panel data to explore the relationship between workplace AI exposure, political participation, and voting behavior. By classifying tasks in job ads to capture automation-relevant skills, we construct firm-level indicators of AI exposure. This approach enhances our understanding of how technological change shapes political attitudes and actions. Our empirical framework underscores the importance of firm-level dynamics in influencing political behavior amidst rapid technological advancement, contributing fresh perspectives to debates on inequality, technological progress, and political engagement.
