Abstract: Predictions about the relationship between AI and work are running ahead of the evidence. Headlines describe autonomous systems replacing large parts of white-collar work, while the measured effects on employment and wages remain smaller, more concentrated and considerably more uncertain than the headlines imply. In this report, we outline the boundaries of our knowledge and establish what claims the evidence currently can and cannot support. In addition to the report, interested readers can explore the existing literature using two resources: an interactive literature tree and our evidence database.
