Breakthroughs, backlashes and Artificial General Intelligence : an extended real options approach

Gries, Thomas; Naudé, Wim - 2022

Breakthroughs and backlashes have marked progress in the development and diffusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI). These shocks make the investment in developing an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) subject to considerable uncertainty. This paper applies a real options model, extended to...

Artificial intelligence and workers' well-being

Giuntella, Osea; König, Johannes; Stella, Luca - 2023

This study explores the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and workers' well-being and mental health using longitudinal survey data from Germany (2000-2020). We construct a measure of individual exposure to AI technology based on the occupation in which workers in our sample were...

"This time it's different" : generative artificial intelligence and occupational choice

Goller, Daniel; Gschwendt, Christian; Wolter, Stefan C. - 2023

In this paper, we show the causal influence of the launch of generative AI in the form of ChatGPT on the search behavior of young people for apprenticeship vacancies. There is a strong and long-lasting decline in the intensity of searches for vacancies, which suggests great uncertainty among the...

How scary is the risk of automation? : evidence from a large scale survey experiment

Cattaneo, Maria Alejandra; Gschwendt, Christian; … - 2024

Advances in technology have always reshaped labor markets. Automating human labor has lead to job losses and creation but most of all, for an increasing demand for highly skilled workers. However, emerging AI innovations like ChatGPT may reduce labor demand in high skilled occupations previously...

Homo-silicus : not (yet) a good imitator of homo sapiens or homo economicus

Polachek, Solomon W.; Romano, Kenneth; Tonguc, Ozlem - 2024

Do large language models (LLMs) - such as ChatGPT 3.5, ChatGPT 4.0, and Google's Gemini 1.0 Pro - simulate human behavior in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) game with varying stake sizes? This paper investigates this question, examining how LLMs navigate scenarios where...

AI, task changes in jobs, and worker reallocation

Gathmann, Christina; Grimm, Felix; Winkler, Erwin - 2024

How does Artificial Intelligence (AI) affect the task content of work, and how do workers adjust to the diffusion of AI in the economy? To answer these important questions, we combine novel patent-based measures of AI and robot exposure with individual survey data on tasks performed on the job...

Man vs machine : can AI grade and give feedback like a human?

Chevalier, Arnaud; Orzech, Jakub; Stankov, Petar - 2024

Grading and providing feedback are two of the most time-consuming activities in education. We developed a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test whether they could be performed by generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI). We randomly allocated undergraduate students to feedback provided...

New digital technologies and heterogeneous employment and wage dynamics in the United States : evidence from individual-level data

Fossen, Frank M.; Sorgner, Alina - 2019

We investigate heterogeneous effects of new digital technologies on the individual-level employment- and wage dynamics in the U.S. labor market in the period from 2011-2018. We employ three measures that reflect different aspects of impacts of new digital technologies on occupations. The first...

Artificial intelligence, jobs, inequality and productivity : does aggregate demand matter?

Gries, Thomas; Naudé, Wim - 2018

Rapid technological progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has been predicted to lead to mass unemployment, rising inequality, and higher productivity growth through automation. In this paper we critically re-assess these predictions by (i) surveying the recent literature and (ii)...
