Symmetric competition can slow AI adoption and labor displacement relative to monopoly when competition is weak, but sufficiently intense competition increases the speed of AI adoption.

AI affects the labour market through four channels: evolution of existing roles, creation of entirely new ones, redistribution across geographies and demographics, and selective displacement concentrated among older and lower-mobility workers.
