Why I recommend it

Free, with the full PDF on the page. It is a working paper dated 21 September 2026, meaning it has not been through peer review yet, so read it as early evidence. Useful because it does not answer 'will AI take jobs' — it asks which workers get asked to do more and which get asked to do less.
