Not properly captured in our paper, but: broader lesson for GenAI era❓ 👉 gains depend not only on what AI can do (automation), but especially if workers can step into expanded task spaces that create new work (augmentation) 👉 People need to build and update skills that 🤝 with AI 12/12

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Key takeaways: How does AI skill demand affect workers’ earnings and employment stability? • No broad earnings and employment responses • Gains mostly modest and concentrated among expert workers • Certain inequality concerns, but also job-augmenting potential 11/12

100

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Results suggest: high-skilled benefit, lesser-skilled not so much ➡️ Implications for Inequality? Estimates vary sharply across earnings distribution: • Bottom deciles: -8 days, earnings −3.9% • Top decile: +5 days, earnings +2.5% 👉 Suggestive evidence: AI could widen existing inequalities 10/N

120

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

AI exposure expands analytic + interactive tasks, and reduces manual ones. These task expansions translate into measurable earnings gains, especially through analytic work. 👉 Early AI technologies seem to induce task shifts, consistent with reinstatement effects. 9/N

100

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Clear pattern: expert workers gain modestly, others not. • Experts: +0.7% earnings (~400€), small gains in days worked in response to doubling in local AI demand • Lesser-skilled workers: small declines 👉 Job-specific expertise matters (more than formal education or other skill proxies). 8/N

100

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

On average, rising AI demand does not change workers’ employment stability or annual earnings. 👉 Early AI neither caused broad job loss nor generated large productivity gains. 👉 But: these zero results mask considerable skill heterogeneity... 7/N

110

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Identification Strategy: OLS likely biased 👉 We use a leave-one-out instrument: national AI demand within occupations (excluding worker’s own region). This approach helps to isolate broad tech shifts from local conditions (see paper for technical details). 6/N

100

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

AI Exposure rises with skill levels: 👉 Experts face more AI vacancies than helpers, professionals, or specialists 👉 Similar insights by formal education and occupational task structures Sets the stage for distinct insights by skill groups (more on that later). 5/N

100

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

AI demand across local labor markets: occupations × regions Most local labor markets show little AI skill demand, others experienced notable increases. (e.g.: in 2017 only 9% of local labor markets displayed AI demand, by 2023 ca. 16%) 👉 Key variation: changes in AI skill demand over time. 4/N

100

Eduard Storm @edthestorm.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

Stylized Facts on AI Skill Demand (2017–23, Germany) • Modest in aggregate terms, fluctuates between 1 – 1.5% of all job postings. • Most demand on unspecified AI skills, #machinelearning, and other technologies popularized prior to the emergence of #GenAI. 3/N

How does AI skill demand affect individual workers? #AI can: 1. displace tasks 2. boost productivity 3. create new tasks 👉 Explore channels in context of longer-term dynamics of the early AI wave (2017-2023). Data: Online Job Postings + German worker-level admin data (@iabnews.bsky.social) 2/N

But: the consultant role (“how can I do this?”) tends to produce higher-quality output. Note: [educated] users in high-paying jobs lean more on the ChatGPT-as-consultant role, esp. for decision support. 👉 It’s not just if you use ChatGPT, but HOW you use it that shapes the value you get from it.

1️⃣ ChatGPT is increasingly used for personal tasks – not just for work. 2️⃣ By July 2025, 56% of users employ ChatGPT as a “personal assistant” (e.g. “please edit this text”).

How do people use ChatGPT? A new NBER WP by researchers from OpenAI, Harvard & Duke analyzes millions of ChatGPT conversations since its launch, showing how usage patterns have shifted across work & personal contexts. There are many interesting insights in here, but two findings stood out to me:
