Summary
A study published in late June by Ramp and Revelio, covering more than 21,000 US companies, shows that companies that have adopted AI increased their headcount by 10.2% over two years, and by 12% for entry-level positions. This growth comes almost exclusively from "heavy adopters", which invest consistently in AI ($33.67 per person per month on average, compared with $2.78 for low-intensity adopters), according to Ara Kharazian, chief economist at Ramp. The study qualifies the alarmist narratives about AI-related job cuts, while noting that Forrester expects 6% of jobs to be replaced by 2030 in the United States and Boston Consulting Group between 10 and 15%. Small businesses, less connected to the networks that encourage heavy adoption, risk being left behind.
