According to a survey by the National Bureau of Economic Research, over 90% of corporate executives stated that AI has not impacted their company's employment in the past three years; approximately 89% of executives claimed that AI has had no impact on productivity. Despite this, companies continue to lay off employees while increasing investment in AI. Mark Ma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh's Business School, pointed out that using AI as a reason for layoffs can trigger anti-AI sentiment among employees, thereby reducing productivity and offsetting the potential efficiency gains from AI.
