A new research paper titled "The Jagged Global Economy: Frontier AI Unevenly Exposes National Economies" analyzes the impact of advanced AI on labor markets across 141 countries. The study introduces a metric to quantify national AI exposure, finding that high-income countries and regions like Europe and Central Asia are more exposed than lower-income nations, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The research also highlights a gender gap, with women in most countries being more exposed to AI's labor market effects due to their concentration in certain occupations. Furthermore, the paper identifies indirect exposure through cross-country income dependencies, using Tajikistan as an example where remittances from highly exposed Russia significantly increase its overall AI exposure.
