The impact of Artificial Intelligence on labor is studied from the viewpoints of employment, productivity, wages, hours worked, and job satisfaction. We use high resolution data on the adoption of AI/labor outcomes and empirical microeconomic methods. In particular, we pay close attention to the impacts on inequality.

Note: This project is one of the collaborative activities of the Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Research Center of the University of Tokyo.
