Productivity and Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging technological innovation in many aspects of production and across many industries. Artificial Intelligence has captured the interest of economists, policymakers, workers, and the public. How can we track the development of AI and its effect on workers and the economy? One metric to investigate is productivity. The artificial intelligence and productivity research page provides a useful reference to the data available that can help track AI influence in the economy. This page will also list BLS productivity and AI research, including the recent research published in the Monthly Labor Review, May 2026, "AI and the rise of software investment," which breaks down recent investment growth by asset category and, more specifically, to examine recent investment in the software category.
