Artificial Intelligence as a Factor in Labor Productivity

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to study of the impact of the development of artificial intelligence on labor productivity. The purpose of the research is to consider the contradiction between the need to increase labor productivity and the development of technological innovations, which include the development of artificial intelligence and ensuring effective employment. The research was conducted using the method of in-depth interviews, content analysis of documents and analysis of statistical data. The research is based on the concept of human capital development and aims at finding opportunities to improve the well-being of people, improve the quality of the workforce, including through improving their well-being based on increasing productivity and skill levels. The research has shown that the development of artificial intelligence is indeed a factor in the growth of labor productivity. However, the uneven development of the countries and regions of the Russian Federation impedes the development of modern technologies and the labor productivity accordingly. The analysis showed that the forecasts of employment change in connection with the development of artificial intelligence do not always coincide, which is also explained by the uneven development. On the example of the Kemerovo region, it is shown that the level of business inclusion in the development of artificial intelligence technologies is very low, which does not form the need for scientific and practical study of the possibilities of using AI in the economy of the industrial region. The results contain important statements about the relationship between the development of artificial intelligence and labor productivity, and also show the opinion of the expert community of leaders in the industrial region.
