AI on the Factory Floor: Evidence from Manufacturing Job Postings
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have the potential to transform production processes and labor markets, yet their ultimate effects on employment, occupations, and skill demand remain uncertain (Acemoglu and Restrepo, 2018). While research continues to explore implications of AI adoption for productivity and employment, firms' hiring decisions provide a timely measure of employers' evolving skill requirements (Deming and Kahn, 2018; Hershbein and Kahn, 2018; Acemoglu et al., 2022).
