A new study from Washington University and NYU Stern finds that AI adoption is hurting freelancers: for every 1% increase in past earnings, freelancers see a 0.5% drop in job opportunities and 1.7% decline in monthly income. Far from liberating workers, AI is displacing both low- and high-skilled labor, funneling profits to company owners.
