AI's big productivity boost? It's happening from the sofa

A new study by SIEPR's Michael Blank is among the first to examine an overlooked effect of generative AI: it's significantly boosting how much people get done at home. Barely a day goes by when there isn't a story about generative AI and what it means for companies and worker productivity. For good reason: the more artificial intelligence can perform job tasks independently, the more work can get done in less time. In theory, that's great for economic growth.
