As the aging population and workforce constitute a worldwide concern, it is becoming necessary to predict how the dual threat of aging and technology at work increases the job vulnerability of older workers and jeopardizes their employability and permanence in the labor market. The objective of this paper is twofold: (1) to analyze perceptions of artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation in work settings and the expected impact of these technologies on older workers to contextualize this emergent phenomenon; and (2) to propose a general model related to “Aging-and-Tech Job Vulnerability” to explain and predict the combined effect of aging and AI/robotics/automation on job insecurity and additional outcomes among older workers. The propositions of the Age-and-Tech Job Vulnerability model developed in this paper seek to present a first approach for the conceptual advance and research on this emerging phenomenon and entails several theoretical and practical implications for organizational psychology.

由于人口老龄化和劳动力队伍成为全球关注的问题，因此有必要预测衰老和工作中的双重威胁如何增加老年工人的工作脆弱性，并损害他们在劳动力市场中的就业能力和持久性。本文的目的是双重的：（1）分析对工作环境中的人工智能，机器人技术和自动化的看法，以及这些技术对年长工人的预期影响，以将这种新兴现象背景化；（2）提出与“老龄化和技术工作脆弱性”相关的通用模型，以解释和预测衰老和人工智能/机器人技术/自动化对老年工人的工作不安全感和额外结果的综合影响。
