Ramp's analysis of AI spending reveals significant changes in employment patterns as companies adopt AI technologies. Data from Revelio Labs indicates a correlation between increased AI investment and shifts in workforce dynamics.

Over 90% of U.S. employers use hiring algorithms from a limited number of vendors, leading to algorithmic monocultures in the recruitment process.

Rapid AI displacement of human workers can reduce consumer demand, negatively impacting firms. Competitive pressures lead firms to continue automating, resulting in excessive worker displacement beyond optimal levels.

A new measure of AI displacement risk, termed observed exposure, combines theoretical LLM capability with real-world usage data, emphasizing automated work-related uses. Occupations with higher observed exposure are projected to experience slower growth through 2034, with workers in these professions more likely to face displacement.
