Recent research from UChicago economists indicates that the AI chatbot ChatGPT is effective in various investment-related tasks and is expected to disrupt numerous high-skilled professions.
The study examines the adoption of ChatGPT among 100,000 workers across 11 occupations, revealing that half have used the tool, with usage rates varying significantly by occupation.
A notable gender gap exists, with women being less likely to adopt ChatGPT than men. While many workers recognize the productivity potential of ChatGPT, barriers to adoption remain, particularly for women.
The research combines survey data with administrative labor market information to analyze these trends.
