The impact of GPT-4 on the economy and workforce should be a crucial consideration for policymakers
and other stakeholders. While existing research primarily focuses on how AI and generative models
can augment human workers, GPT-4 or subsequent models may lead to the automation of certain
jobs.[81] This could result in workforce displacement.[82] Over time, we expect GPT-4 to impact
even jobs that have historically required years of experience and education, such as legal services.[83]
Research shows the role that AI and generative models, including GPT-3 and GPT-3.5, can play
in augmenting human workers, from upskilling in call centers,[84] to help with writing,[85] to coding
assistance.[86] This assistance can be positive for workers, potentially leading to better matching of
candidates to jobs[85] and improving overall job satisfaction. [87][88]. However, even using AI as a
productivity multiplier requires workers to adjust to new workﬂows and augment their skills.
