The author reveals his paper on AI's pressure on occupations was improved by comments from heavyweight reviewers including Daron Acemoglu, David Autor, Anna Stansbury, Avi Goldfarb and Daniel Rock before release.

He also flags the key caveat: the paper measures potential pressure on jobs, and whether it materializes depends on how firms actually integrate AI into their workflows — integration bottlenecks remain to be measured.
