PLAMADISO Talk by Fabian Stephany (Oxford Internet Institute) – 13 February 2025 || Organized by the Research Group “Digital Economy, Internet Ecosystem & Internet Policy” @Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society Title: AI’s Ripple Effect on Skills and Labour Markets: Evidence from Two Years with the SkillScale Project Abstract This talk unveils key insights from the SkillScale Project, exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming skills and labour markets. Using large-scale online data, the presentation highlights: The Rise of Skill-Based Hiring: Employers now prioritize AI skills over formal education, as demand for AI expertise skyrockets. Degrees are mentioned less often in job postings, while AI skills command higher wage premiums, especially in high-demand roles. Expanding Job Benefits: AI-related roles increasingly offer perks like remote work, improved parental leave, and stronger workplace culture initiatives—strategies to attract and retain top talent in a competitive market. Human Skill Demand: AI is driving up demand for complementary skills like analytical thinking or team work, while slightly reducing reliance on substitute skills such as routine data analysis. These changes are fueling net job growth in complementary roles. Together, these trends showcase AI’s profound impact on hiring, job benefits, and workforce dynamics, offering actionable insights into its broader economic and societal implications.
