Exposure measure based on Eloundou et al. (2023) GPT4 beta administrative exposure measure. Exposure is mapped onto degrees using the typical degree-to-occupation flows in the ACS across 2009-2019 for 22- to-27-year-olds, weighted by the share of graduates holding each occupation in a given major. Excludes those in school, not in the labor force, with less than a bachelor's degree, or ages outside 22 to 27. Quintiles of AI-exposure shown as 5 (Most Exposed), 4 (Highly Exposed), 3 (Moderately Exposed), 2 (Slightly Exposed), 1 (Least Exposed).
