"We study how artificial intelligence (AI) affects labour demand at the establishment level. We use the share of AI related vacancy postings at the establishment level to measure efforts to develop, implement or use AI technologies. Low overall AI vacancy shares show that we study a phase of early AI adoption. At the establishment level, the AI vacancy share relates to a small reduction in those skills which are not related to AI technologies. We further find no effects on overall employment growth but slightly higher employment growth in jobs for highly skilled workers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
