Over the past few decades, technological change has contributed to increases in wage inequality across OECD countries. Rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) raise questions as to whether these trends will continue. Evidence for the period 2014-18 suggests that AI did not, so far, alter the gap between high- and low-wage occupations. There is some indication, however, that higher exposure to AI may be associated with lower inequality between high- and low-wage workers within occupations.
