The Potential Impact of AI Innovations on U.S. Occupations


Launch demo to see the AI Impact


Description

We introduce the AI Impact (AII) measure, utilizing Deep Learning Natural Language Processing to automatically identify AI patents affecting occupational tasks. Our findings reveal that:

  1. AI's impact on occupations defies simple categorizations of task routineness. It intricately affects specific skills within tasks, from routine (e.g., scanning items) to non-routine (e.g., decision-making under stress by air traffic controllers), challenging the assumption that only routine tasks are susceptible.
  2. AI's impact on labor may be limited by the fact that some of the affected occupations are augmented rather than replaced, and some of the sectors affected are experiencing labor shortages.
