This research paper, "The Effects of Generative AI on High Skilled Work: Evidence from Three Field Experiments with Software Developers," explores the impact of AI-powered coding assistants on the productivity of software developers. The authors conducted three randomized controlled trials at Microsoft, Accenture, and an anonymous Fortune 100 company, providing a randomly selected subset of developers with access to GitHub Copilot. By analyzing data from these experiments, they discovered a 26.08% increase in completed tasks among developers using the AI tool, particularly among less experienced developers. The research confirms previous findings that AI tools can be more beneficial for less experienced workers and highlights the need for further investigation into the complex interactions between AI, human workers, and productivity in real-world settings.
