AI and Task Efficiency

Boyan Jovanovic and Peter Rousseau

No 34295, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: We model several ways in which AI may improve decisions, raise the productivity of firms, and raise human capital growth. Each focuses on activities that involve problem solving, with solutions being guided by signals. If AI raises the accuracy of the signals, humans will then make better decisions — individually and in groups.
