AI Impact Meta-Review Effects of generative AI on work, mapped to O*NET

What the published runs say

These runs are the ones published on this site, all computed from one snapshot of the review table so they're directly comparable. They cover headline estimates at three aggregation levels, one-knob sensitivity checks against the occupation-level headline, and leave-one-out validation of rank recovery. Full tables are on Imputation runs.

Findings

Headline estimates

Default parameters: β = 2.5, SOC majors 37/45/47/49/51/53 pruned, activity threshold 10, and the AIOE baseline for speed only. Lists show the five largest estimated effects. Speed is a log-ratio (higher = faster with AI); quality is Hedges' g. OBS marks an observed (not imputed) node.

Does the ranking survive a changed knob?

Each row changes one setting and compares the resulting estimates with the matching occupation-level headline run. The comparison uses Spearman ρ over the nodes both runs share, with coarser levels rolled up before joining. ρ near 1 means that choice doesn't change the ordering.

Can the graph recover held-out effects?

Each observed node is held out and re-imputed. Kendall τ-b compares the order of held-out predictions with the order of the actual values. The bars are bootstrap 95% CIs over folds. An interval entirely right of 0 means the order is recovered; entirely left of 0 means it's reversed.
