Beschreibung:
This study examines the effect of artificial intelligence on unemployment in high-tech developed countries. While artificial intelligence is more discussed in futuristic aspects, comprehensive empirical studies are limited in the literature. Therefore, this study uses the dataset, which includes 24 high-tech developed countries from 2005 to 2021 and examines the relationship between a country's Google Trend Index related to AI and the unemployment rate. In the empirical approach, we control the dynamic effect of unemployment by using dynamic panel data and GMM-system estimation to determine the effect of AI on unemployment. The main results show that artificial intelligence decreases the level of unemployment, and the 'displacement effect' of AI is validated.
