Abstract
En 中文
This paper examines how firms' adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) relates to the demand for managers and managerial skills. Using a skills-based measure of AI adoption derived from Lightcast job postings, we show that firms with greater AI adoption post more managerial vacancies and a higher share of such vacancies than less intensive adopters. These relationships are strongest in manufacturing and among firms with higher research & development intensity. Greater AI adoption is also associated with shifts in managerial skill requirements toward interpersonal and growth-oriented skills, including stakeholder management, creativity, and sales management, and away from routine administrative skills such as budgeting, planning, staff management, and customer service. Overall, the results suggest a reconfiguration of managerial roles toward capabilities facilitating scaling, coordination, and adaptation in AI-enabled environments.
