FIRMS' EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF AI AND ROBOTICS: EVIDENCE FROM A SURVEY

摘要

This study presents new evidence on firms' views about the impact of artificial intelligence ( AI ) and robotics on their business and employment, using data from an original survey of more than 3,000 Japanese firms. The focus of this study is on technology‐skill complementarity. Firms with highly educated employees tend to expect positive impacts of AI ‐related technologies on their business, and vice versa. Larger firms and firms that engage in global markets tend to have positive views about the impacts of AI ‐related technologies. ( JEL O33 , J23 , J24 , M15 )
