Recent dramatic increases in AI language modeling capabilities has led to many questions about the effect of these technologies on the economy. In this paper we present a methodology to systematically assess the extent to which occupations, industries and geographies are exposed to advances in AI language modeling capabilities. We find that the top occupations exposed to language modeling include telemarketers and a variety of post-secondary teachers such as English language and literature, foreign language and literature, and history teachers. We find the top industries exposed to advances in language modeling are legal services and securities, commodities, and investments. We also find a positive correlation between wages and exposure to AI language modeling.

  1. Generative AI and the Reorganization of Labor Demand

    econ.GN 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Firms adjust to generative AI by reallocating hiring (52% of exposure decline) and redesigning tasks within jobs (39.5%), with senior roles shifting earlier via reallocation and junior roles using mixed channels.

  2. Bounded by Risk, Not Capability: Quantifying AI Occupational Substitution Rates via a Tech-Risk Dual-Factor Model

    cs.CY 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.5

    AI occupational substitution is bounded more by commercial risk and liability than technical capability, producing high OAI for data scientists and near-zero for physical trades.

  3. Economic Evaluations of Language Models

    cs.CY 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Using O*NET and 4.5M chatbot conversations plus synthetic prompts, EconEvals measures LM performance on U.S. work activities and predicts substantial time savings in 47% of occupations, with usage lagging.

  4. Bounded by Risk, Not Capability: Quantifying AI Occupational Substitution Rates via a Tech-Risk Dual-Factor Model

    cs.CY 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    AI job substitution rates are limited by business risks such as liability and compliance rather than technical capability alone, resulting in high exposure for cognitive roles like data scientists and resilience for p...

  5. Who Prices Cognitive Labor in the Age of Agents? Compute-Anchored Wages

    cs.AI 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    AI agents convert compute capital into cognitive labor units, so on substitutable tasks the competitive human wage is bounded above by relative productivity times compute intensity times the rental rate of compute.

  6. Who Prices Cognitive Labor in the Age of Agents? Compute-Anchored Wages

    cs.AI 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    AI agents are a compute-to-cognitive-labor technology, bounding the competitive wage for substitutable human cognitive tasks by the rental rate of compute capital.
