Artificial Intelligence and Employment: New Cross-Country Evidence.

ABSTRACT: Recent years have seen impressive advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and this has stoked renewed concern about the impact of technological progress on the labor market, including on worker displacement. This paper looks at the possible links between AI and employment in a cross-country context.
