Our new @nberpubs paper is out:
"Advanced Technologies Adoption and Use by U.S. Firms: Evidence from the Annual Business Survey".
We report on the adoption of AI, cloud computing, robotics and the digitization of business information at 850,000 firms.

@nberpubs We find that digitization is quite widespread, as is some use of cloud computing.
In contrast, advanced technology adoption is rare and generally skewed towards larger and older firms.
In contrast, advanced technology adoption is rare and generally skewed towards larger and older firms.
@nberpubs Adoption patterns are consistent with a hierarchy of increasing technological sophistication, in which most firms that adopt AI or other advanced business technologies also use the other, more widely diffused technologies
@nberpubs While few firms are at the technology frontier, they tend to be large so technology exposure of the average worker is significantly higher.
@nberpubs The coauthors on this paper were Nikolas Zolas, Zachary Kroff, Erik Brynjolfsson, Kristina McElheran, David N. Beede, Cathy Buffington, Nathan Goldschlag, Lucia Foster & Emin Dinlersoz.
It was great working with the US Census Bureau to design the survey and collect the data.
