Title: Generative AI and the Productivity Divide: Human-AI Complementarities in Education
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.18143v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is transforming how firms create, process, and apply knowledge, yet little is known about the heterogeneity of its productivity effects across users. We report results from a randomized controlled experiment in which participants-analogs of early-career knowledge workers-were assigned to self-study a technical domain using either traditional resources or large-language-model (LLM) assistance. On average, G
