Let Everybody Fully Display His Talents:Artificial Intelligence and Overeducation
This paper delves into the effects of artificial intelligence on the state of overeducation through mechanism testing and heterogeneity analysis.The findings show that the application of artificial intelligence significantly ameliorates the condition of worker overeducation.Mechanism analysis indicates that this effect is primarily due to the fact that artificial intelligence can promote an increase in workers'job search efforts and a transformation in the nature of job tasks.In the heterogeneity analysis,the paper discovers different trends in general education and vocational education when facing the impact of artificial intelligence.Compared to vocational education,workers with general education are more likely to escape from overeducation with the push of artificial intelligence technology.Additionally,the results suggest that under the impact of artificial intelligence,workers with agricultural household registration are more likely to escape from overeducation.The relaxation of household registration constraints can maximize this positive effect to create more opportunities for them to escape the predicament of overeducation.
