This paper studies the relationship between exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) and workers’ wages across European countries. Overall, a positive relationship between exposure to AI and workers’ wages is found, however it differs considerably between workers and countries. High-skilled workers experience far higher wage premiums related to AI-related skills than middle- and low-skilled workers. Positive associations are concentrated among occupations moderately and highly exposed to AI (between the 6th and 9th decile of the exposure), and are weaker among the least exposed occupations. Returns of AI-related skills among high-skilled workers are even higher in Eastern European Countries compared to Western European countries. The heterogeneity likely originates from the difference in overall labour costs between country groups. The results presented in this study were obtained from the estimation of Mincerian wage regressions on the 2018 release of the EU Structure of Earning Survey.
