4 studies on AI utility

Tech Crunch sums up 4 different studies on the effectiveness of AI. Want to guess the results in the studies? If you guessed, not great/AI isn’t there yet, you win a gold star.

UC Berkeley’s California Management Review found “no robust relationship between AI adoption and aggregate productivity gain.”

Researchers at MIT predict that AI models will “be able to complete most text-related tasks with success rates of, on average, 80%–95% by 2029 at a minimally sufficient quality level.” Minimally sufficient ? We have higher work product standards, right?

 National Bureau of Economic Research did conclude that AI adoption improved productivity but noted “a productivity paradox, in which perceived productivity gains are larger than measured productivity gains.”

Harvard Business Review showed that when everyone is using AI to produce more stuff, the bottleneck simply shifts to executives.
