ETLA Economic Research is releasing 3 new AI podcasts this fall related to our research project “AI in working life”. In this podcast, ETLA Economic Research presents the results of a study in which we compare the evolution of earnings and employment in occupations more exposed to GenAI with occupations less exposed to GenAI, before and after the release of ChatGPT.
This autumn, Etla will publish a three-part podcast series on the impact of artificial intelligence on working life. The first part of the series is based on Etla’s November 2024 study “The effects of generative AI are not yet visible in the labor market: Wages in the most exposed occupations have rather risen” (Etla Brief 143).
The study is in Finnish but you can also find more information on the results in our Working Paper in English called “Assessing Early Labor Market Effects of Generative AI: Evidence from Population Data” (ETLA Working Papers No 121).
These published studies are related to the research project AI in working life and it is sponsored by The Confederation of Finnish Industry and Employers (TT) Foundation. It deals with three main research questions:
The results show that earnings have increased faster in exposed occupations than in non-exposed occupations. In Finland GenAI has so far not caused any negative labour market effects. The results suggest that GenAI has increased labour productivity and thus labour demand.
Note: This podcast is created with NotebookLM and Clipchamp by ETLA and is therefore AI-assisted.
