A recent study by economists at Ravellio Labs and Ramp indicates that companies heavily investing in AI are actually increasing their headcount. Firms using AI heavily grew their employee count by 10% over two years, and entry-level hires increased by 12%.
“So we found is that the firms using AI heavily grew their head count 10% over the two years following adoption.”
“So we can talk exactly about what that means. Uh, beyond that, we also found outside size growth for entry level hires, so 12% over two years.”
“They found that the biggest AI spenders are hiring more than non-adopters, not less.”
