@_LukasFreund_ and I have a new paper out! AI transforms what tasks we do at work. How does this affect wages? Thread here 👇 x.com/i/status/20346…
Lukas Freund@_LukasFreund_

🚨 “Job Transformation, Specialization, and the Labor Market Effects of AI” - new paper with @lukasfmann 💡 AI transforms what tasks we do at work. Our paper shows how, as a result, individuals' wages may rise or fall depending on their skill set. 🧰 We build a framework to quantify the effects of job transformation on wages, and characterize winners & losers in a genAI automation scenario from 3 perspectives. 👉Exposure: Moderate occupational exposure benefits incumbents, on average, while high exposure harms them; but: within any exposed occupation there are both losers and winners. 👉Skills: Value of social and manual-technical skills ⬆️, analytical/information-processing skills ⬇️. 👉Distribution: Low-wage workers gain relatively more than high-wage workers. 🧵 Summary thread & link to paper 👇

"The current discourse around AI mostly centers on the notion of jobs disappearing. But that seems to capture only part of the picture," @_LukasFreund_ & @lukasfmann observe. Read about their research on how jobs may transform and wages respond: bit.ly/49GzZyO

Thanks @_LukasFreund_ . I learned a lot from your work with @lukasfmann on which workers gain and which ones lose post AI. Incidentally, on the great @jburnmurdoch piece: it is the first use I see by a journalist of Claude Code (rather, "agentic tools") in data analysis. Impressive work.

👇Highly recommended reflections from @lugaricano on how to approach career & learning in the age of AI. Pairs well with @jburnmurdoch's piece highlighting ~historical continuity in ⬆️ value of *social skills* (consistent with what @lukasfmann & I find): giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac…

My New Year post is a letter to a young person trying to find their direction in a world disrupted by AI. My advice, in four words: take the messy job. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Happy New Year!

Excited to see the @OIGInstitute WP of "Job Transformation, Specialization, and the Labor Market Effects of AI" with the fantastic @lukasfmann!

Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute@OIGInstitute

Rapid advances in AI means machines may take over an expanding set of tasks. Who will gain and who will lose from this wave of automation? Visiting scholars @_LukasFreund_ @BostonCollege & @lukasfmann @WPCareySchool answer this question in their new paper. bit.ly/46xUzAI

👇What @emollick says (@Noahpinion @Afinetheorem have repeatedly raised this caveat, too) @lukasfmann & I develop and quantify this idea through a formal model in our recent paper on "Job Transformation, Specialization, and the Labor Market Effects of AI"

Ethan Mollick@emollick

I keep seeing this paper (and the others like it) being misinterpreted. This is a measure of AI applicability, not job loss. That might mean the jobs are at risk, but it also can be the jobs that will be most benefitted by using AI, or those that will be most transformed by it.
