Broader conclusion: AI has the potential to raise productivity and create value, but without proactive policy the benefits risk being concentrated among skilled workers and firms, exacerbating inequality and regional disparities.
Integrative interpretation drawing on productivity and distributional findings from the 17 studies and theoretical considerations about differential complementarities and adoption patterns.
medium mixed The role of generative artificial intelligence on labor mark... productivity gains and distributional outcomes (inequality, regional disparities...
