The study by economists Anders Humlum and Emilie Vestergaard assessed the impact of AI chatbots on 11 occupations often at risk of automation, using data from 25,000 workers and 7,000 workplaces in Denmark. Despite the prevalent use of these AI tools, the findings indicated no significant changes in earnings or recorded working hours during the study period. The statistical analysis revealed that average effects could not exceed 1%, suggesting that even as employers adopt AI, the labor market remains largely stable in these sectors.
The study concluded that AI chatbots have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation during the period studied.
