For the short-run optimization problem of AI deployment given fixed job responsibilities and worker skill levels, the firm’s optimal strategy for an m-step job can be computed in time O(m^2) using dynamic programming; the long-run joint optimization including task assignment to workers can also be solved in polynomial time up to an arbitrarily small error term.
Algorithmic results and complexity analysis derived in the theoretical sections and appendices of the paper (dynamic programming construction and polynomial-time solution statements).
Appending a neighboring step to an existing AI chain adds no additional human verification burden (verification is a fixed cost at the chain level), which can make appending steps to a chain optimal even if manual execution is individually preferable for the appended step.
Theoretical model setup and formal argument showing verification is incurred only at the last augmented step of a chain; illustrative examples (data scientist workflow) and comparative-cost reasoning in the paper.
AI chaining can overturn standard comparative advantage logic in assignment: when multiple adjacent steps are executed as an AI chain, a step may be assigned to AI (as part of the chain) even if manual human execution would be preferred for that step in isolation.
Theoretical model of production as an ordered sequence of steps with firms endogenously bundling contiguous steps into tasks and jobs; formal comparative-static arguments and illustrative examples in the paper showing how fixed verification costs per chain change marginal assignment incentives.

These AI capability improvements would impact the economy and labor market as organizations adopt AI, which could have a substantially longer timeline.
Theoretical implication/interpretation by the authors (economic and labor market impact contingent on organizational adoption; timeline longer than capability improvements).
AI automation is a continuum between (i) crashing waves where AI capabilities surge abruptly over small sets of tasks, and (ii) rising tides where the increase in AI capabilities is more continuous and broad-based.
