A new working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research highlights significant disparities in AI adoption between the U.S. and Europe, as well as among European nations. The study, which surveyed workers and firms in 2025 and 2026, found that differences in worker demographics and firm composition contribute substantially to these gaps. The research also indicates a strong correlation between AI adoption and a firm's management practices, particularly its encouragement of AI use among employees. While AI adoption appears to lead to time savings for workers and faster productivity growth in industries with higher adoption rates, the paper notes a lack of clear evidence linking it to employment changes.
