Generative Artificial Intelligence and the Workforce

April 15, 2025

The proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the workplace, a type of artificial intelligence capable of generating new content, has fostered growing concerns about how deployment will impact work and workers. While the effects of GenAI on the workforce remain largely unknown, and speculation about the labor market impacts continues to grow, the Heldrich Center for Workforce Development explored the landscape of literature about the topic in a recently released research report. Additionally, a new blog post by Heldrich Center researchers Jessica Starace and Liana Lin examines the use of GenAI in the workforce.

Jessica Starace is Survey Research Manager and Liana Lin is Research Project Manager at the Heldrich Center.
