Despite the hype, past research found no clear link between AI adoption and long-term productivity gains. Now a new report from @torontomet.bsky.social confirms it: no solid evidence that AI drives short-term productivity growth either. dais.ca/reports/wait...

Waiting for Takeoff: The short-term impact of AI adoption on firm productivity

In this study, we tackle the critical question of whether AI adoption leads to productivity improvement at the firm level.
