AI; Labor market; Economics; Case analysisAbstract
Language models have a significant impact on the labor market, and this paper aims to analyze the effects on different parties in detail and give policy suggestions on the adverse effects brought by AI. The author first applies a case using news about the employment market, then does an analysis and gives suggestions based on the case. The research finds that AI causes fluctuations in the labor market through the displacement effect, productivity effect, and the reinstatement effect. The pattern of employment also adjusts to favor the job seekers with AI skill sets. The paper further underlines the undesirable effects of AI including deepfakes and biases, and legal and technological measures could be adopted to alleviate the problems. This paper could help scholars better understand the impacts of AI on the labor market, and the suggestions listed could give authorities ideas on policy implementations to regulate AI.
