ShowingImportancePrizesTopicAI and skill gaps
Claims about whether AI tools widen or narrow productivity or performance differences between more- and less-skilled workers (novices vs experts, entry-level vs experienced), i.e., the 'leveling' vs 'widening' question, across task domains and skill measures. Excludes average AI productivity effects and employment/displacement effects.
Rapid AI capability improvements will extend productivity gains to hard-to-learn tasks within the next decade.

Generative AI assistance raises productivity far more for novice and low-skilled workers than for experienced, highly skilled workers.
