A study by economists Anders Humlum and Emilie Vestergaard found that the adoption of AI in various occupations, including accountants, customer support specialists, and teachers, had minimal impact on earnings and recorded hours.
The researchers also noted that AI chatbots have created new job tasks, which may boost wages in high-value added tasks. However, the time savings from using AI tools are minimal, with an average of 2.8% of work hours saved.
