Wir haben folgende Datenquelle verwendet:
Seit 2000 ist die Produktivität in den USA um über 60 % gestiegen, während sich die realen Durchschnittslöhne kaum verändert haben. Trotz jahrzehntelanger technologischer Fortschritte – von der Automatisierung bis zur künstlichen Intelligenz – haben die meisten Arbeitnehmer nicht an den Gewinnen teilhaben können. Die Daten zeigen eine zunehmende Kluft zwischen den Amerikanern produzieren und was sie verdienen. Dies ist keine Geschichte über Roboter, die Menschen ersetzen. Es ist eine Geschichte darüber, wie Unternehmenspolitik und Arbeitsmarktinstitutionen darüber entschieden, wer von Innovationen profitiert.
Das Ergebnis? Die Produktivität steigt weiter, die Gehaltsschecks jedoch nicht.

Of course AI is taking jobs, people are using machine learning models to do the work of humans.
This is comparing two things that don’t actually have anything to do with each other.
Wages and productivity have not followed each other for much longer than AI has existed in any way, and people have verifiably been fired to be replaced by AI.
And the data in the graphs shown here don’t even compare AI usage to productivity or to wages. It’s shoehorned in to try to make a point that is pointless. Likely to generate clicks.
This is not beautiful data.
Edit: Yeah, just checked the rules, because I was sure there would be a rule against exactly this. Rule 7: Post titles must describe the data without using sensationalized headlines. Pretty clearly in breach of that.
Your graph does not show what was happening before 2000, therefore you are missing a more interesting story.
Run this back far enough and you find the divergence started in 1971.
That’s literally how AI “stealing” jobs reflects itself on charts.
Productivity is output per unit of labor. It goes up because technology helps people produce more. Or, put differently, requires fewer people to produce the same amount.
Now, increasing human productivity isn’t a bad thing. The issue is that the gains from the productivity aren’t shared equitably. They’re concentrated in the hands of the business owners. And that is what your chart shows. It’s just your headline that is wrong.
Oh look – two unrelated lines!
Peel your graph back to 1945 and you’ll see the real story. This is not the correct interpretation of the productivity vs. real wages data
