In a new analysis, Chris Bangert-Drowns & Chiara Chanoi measure workers’ exposure to AI and assess how it affects wages.

They find AI exposure is higher among people with higher levels of education who work in high-paying jobs, regardless of gender or race.

Great to see two EG-affiliated scholars, @markzandi.bsky.social and @michaelslinden.bsky.social, quoted in this recent Marketplace piece. With a weakening job market, strong consumer spending by the top 10% is another clear indication of widening economic inequality.
Nearly half of U.S. retail spending comes from top 10% of earners
The spending imbalance is at the highest levels it has been since Moody’s Analytics started collecting this data.

Congratulations to our latest cohort of #EGgrantees. It’s more important now than ever to have evidence-based research on artificial intelligence in the workplace and on AI’s effects on competition in the economy. I’m eager to see what the grantees produce.
📢 Today, we announce a new cohort of grantees studying how artificial intelligence and new technology can support workers and promote competition across the U.S. economy.
