Reports from joint U.S. and EU research, the OECD, and Goldman Sachs explore the economic impacts of AI, noting that AI trends differ from previous automation eras, which reduced demand for routine middle-wage jobs but increased it for non-routine low and high-wage jobs. They think generative AI could replace a quarter of existing work, but this impact is likely to vary by sector and new jobs are likely to arise to replace them. This automation could boost labor productivity by 1.5 percent over a 10-year adoption period.
