Digital decoupling: educational stratification and dual-track effects of AI displacement and augmentation in U.S. occupations
This study investigates the phenomenon of digital decoupling by proposing an AI Dual-Track model designed to quantify how generative artificial intelligence (AI) simultaneously displaces and augments labor across 846 U.S. occupations. By leveraging an ensemble-based AI classification protocol, the research constructs a validated set of 63 O*NET competencies to map occupational tasks into substitution and facilitation tracks. Central to this analysis is the exploration of how educational attainme
