AI推动人类技能需求转变,更看重分析力与抗压性等软实力。
Complement or substitute? How AI increases the demand for human skills

人工智能正在重塑工作形态,但其对人类技能需求的影响尚缺乏实证支持。本文基于2018至2024年美国、英国和澳大利亚近3000万份职位招聘信息,研究AI采纳是否提升了技术性AI技能之外的互补型人力能力(如分析思维、韧性、伦理判断)的需求。研究区分了企业、行业与地区内部(AI岗位)与外部(非AI岗位)效应。结果显示:第一,高AI密集度岗位更需分析思维、韧性与数字素养等非技术能力;第二,这些能力在管理、销售或金融岗位中带来显著薪资溢价;第三,随着公司、行业与地区层面的AI普及,即使非AI岗位也出现对互补技能需求上升、替代性技能(如摘要、翻译、客服)需求下降的溢出效应。该趋势在三国均成立,表明AI并未简单取代任务或仅需更多开发者技能,而是促使劳动力技能结构向强化人机协作的人类特质转变。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the nature of work, yet there is limited empirical evidence on how it affects demand for human skills. This paper examines whether AI adoption increases the prevalence and value of human capabilities that complement technical AI skills, such as analytical thinking, resilience, or ethical judgment, within and beyond AI-intensive job roles. Using a dataset of nearly 30 million job postings from the US, the UK and Australia, between 2018 and 2024, we distinguish between internal effects (within AI roles) and external effects (in non-AI roles) across companies, industries, and regions. This paper has three main findings. First, we find that AI-intensive roles are significantly more likely to require complementary non-technical capabilities, such as analytical thinking, resilience, and digital literacy. Second, these complementary skills are associated with meaningful wage premiums, particularly in managerial, sales or finance roles working with AI. Third, we show that AI diffusion has potential spillover effects: as AI adoption rises within companies, industries, and regions, demand for complementary skills increases even in non-AI roles while demand for substitutable skills - summarisation, translation or customer service - decreases. These trends hold across geographies, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, confirming the robustness of our findings. Together, these findings indicate that AI is not simply replacing tasks or requiring more AI developer skills; it may be transforming workforce skill requirements to favor human attributes that enhance collaboration with intelligent systems.
