Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) marks a significant technological advancement, increasingly influencing various aspects of our lives and work. Its applications span diverse sectors, from healthcare to business services and from research and development to the production of goods and services. Often described as a new wave of automation, AI qualitatively differs from the earlier wave characterized by industrial robots, as studied by Acemoglu and Restrepo (2020). This transition represents an important moment with potential implications across multiple dimensions of society and the economy. The impact of AI on labour markets remains a pressing question. AI may generate demand for workers skilled in developing or managing these technologies. More broadly, it has the potential to enhance labour efficiency across various sectors, but it may also replace workers, fuelling concerns about displacement. The effects of AI on labour markets are unlikely to be uniform, with implications varying across occupations, sectors and industries. This paper addresses these concerns by quantifying the labour market effects of AI, leveraging regional heterogeneity in the United States. Specifically, it examines variations in exposure to AI driven by differences in pre-existing industry specialization prior to the advent of AI technologies.
