Who uses ChatGPT?
By Anders Humlum and Emilie Vestergaard:
We study the adoption of ChatGPT, the icon of Generative AI, using a large-scale survey experiment linked to comprehensive register data in Denmark. Surveying 100,000 workers from 11 exposed occupations, we document that ChatGPT is widespread, but substantial inequalities have emerged. Women are 20 percentage points less likely to have used the tool. Furthermore, despite its potential to lift workers with less expertise, users of ChatGPT earned more already before its arrival. Workers see a substantial productivity potential in ChatGPT but are often hindered by employer restrictions and the need for training. Informing workers about expert assessments of ChatGPT shifts workers’ beliefs but has limited impacts on actual adoption.
