- NOTES:
- Autor suggests that AI is fundamentally different from previous technological advancements like automation and robotics. He argues that AI can act as a force multiplier, containing the distilled knowledge and expertise of millions of people.
- According to Autor, access to AI expertise can open up new possibilities for people seeking work, enabling them to take on roles that currently require elite, expensive experts such as doctors, lawyers, and software engineers.
- Autor believes that AI will boost people's ability to do their jobs or take on other ones, rather than replacing them entirely. He compares AI to tools like calculators or chainsaws, which are levers for the application of expertise rather than substitutes for it.

- ABSTRACT: This paper examines the effect of skill-biased technological change as measured by computerization on the recent widening of U. S. educational wage differentials. An analysis of aggregate changes in the relative supplies and wages of workers by education from 1940 to 1996 indicates strong and persistent growth in relative demand favoring college graduates. Rapid skill upgrading within detailed industries accounts for most of the growth in the relative demand for college workers, particularly since 1970. Analyses of four data sets indicate that the rate of skill upgrading has been greater in more computer-intensive industries.
