AI hasn't caused job losses in US: Study
A new Yale study says AI hasn't triggered big job losses in the US, even after almost three years since ChatGPT's launch in late 2022.
Researchers tracked jobs across fields with different levels of AI exposure and found no major shakeups.
Workforce numbers in jobs most and least exposed to AI
Workforce numbers in jobs most and least exposed to AI held steady.
This pattern is similar to what happened during earlier tech waves like computers in the '80s or the internet boom of the '90s—so, any changes seem to be just part of normal economic ups and downs, not because of AI.
Tiny differences showed up
The study also checked if college grads (ages 20-24) were affected differently than older workers.
Turns out, only tiny differences showed up—and those were likely tied to things like rising interest rates, not robots taking over.
While Yale notes it's still early days for AI's impact, so far the job market looks pretty stable.
