How Does AI Change Labor Demand? Evidence From 41 Countries

A study by the Stanford Digital Economy Lab analyzes how generative AI adoption affects labor demand across 41 countries using data from over 1.25 billion job postings and 154 million employment records. The findings indicate that AI adoption shifts employment toward senior workers in AI-exposed occupations while reducing the share of junior workers in those roles, with modest overall employment growth and productivity gains suggested. This reflects a nuanced labor demand impact where AI increases firm productivity and changes task content differently across worker types.
