These patterns suggest a commoditization effect of AI on labor, with implications for online labor market design, workers' incentives to invest in human capital, and labor welfare.
Interpretation synthesized from the three empirical findings above (decline in human-capital importance, rise in price importance, decline in demand premium for high-human-capital workers, and reallocation toward lower-priced workers). This is presented as the paper's conceptual/mechanistic conclusion and policy implication rather than a separately tested causal estimate. (Empirical basis: Upwork analysis and difference-in-differences; sample size not reported in abstract.)
