Government funding for AI jobs did not produce more jobs, research finds
AI job postings may be increasing, but that doesn't necessarily mean more jobs are being created, Northeastern research finds. Credit: Matthew Modoono/Northeastern University Artificial intelligence is reshaping how companies operate, but it may not translate into more job creation, according to new research. That's a major takeaway from a recently published study co-authored by Northeastern University economics and public policy professor Shantanu Khanna.
