Erik Brynjolfsson(@erikbryn):Great work. But I would be cautious about interpreting employment growth among AI adopters as evidence against broader labor-market displacement. Firms that adopt AI may grow by gaining market share from non-adopters, so employment can rise among adopters even as exposed occupations shrink economy-wide.
