“The Projected Impact of Generative AI on Future Productivity Growth.” Penn Wharton Budget Model, Penn Wharton Budget Model, 10 Sept. 2025, budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2025/9/8/projected-impact-of-generative-ai-on-future-productivity-growth.
The projected AI budget model by Penn Wharton takes an in depth look at the workplace revenue and productivity created by AI. The article shows the analytical numbers that are driving AI’s spending and revenue and explains how these numbers are calculated. Wharton breaks down AI usage across varying career fields, and reveals that only 1% of workers can currently have their entire job automatized by AI, and 29% of jobs have not been exposed to AI at all.
This article offers a very realistic and digestible explanation of how large companies are generating an increase in revenue profits from implementing AI software to their business or workplace. I think it also clarifies many misunderstandings and concerns people have about AI taking over jobs, as the author shows graphs and statistics on how AI is meant to work alongside us in the workplace, not replace us.
