This Research Note by Wil Hunt, Sudipa Sarkar and Chris Warhurst proposes a methodology based on the use of bespoke employer surveys. Drawing on a new and unique survey of UK business leaders, it illustrates the utility of this approach through the presentation of descriptive findings on the association between introduction of AI and job creation and destruction within organisations.

The key findings are:

• AI is more likely than other technology to be associated with job elimination and creation.
• Job creation is just as likely as job destruction in firms introducing AI.
