Impact of artificial intelligence on labor productivity

Overview

Research and surveys indicate that artificial intelligence is contributing to increased labor productivity across different regions and economic contexts.

An International Monetary Fund (IMF) working paper analyzing OECD data from 2000 to 2017 suggests that AI-related innovation has already increased output per worker by an estimated 0.8 per cent to 1.2 per cent. The report posits that AI could potentially increase aggregate labor productivity by as much as 3.8 per cent over the long term, though benefits may be distributed unevenly toward skilled professional and managerial roles.

In Latin America, the 2025 PwC Regional Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey found that 82% of surveyed workers reported productivity gains from AI use. In sectors like real estate, the technology is being used to automate communications and manage portfolios, with experts noting its role as an assistant to complement human judgment.
