Summary

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI models and their use have significantly advanced in recent years, evolving from their historical role in automating routine tasks to now performing complex cognitive functions. As a result, it has the potential to reshape the job landscape across a broad range of skills and sectors. Mapping occupational labor market micro data for Malta with a measure of exposure and complementary to AI indicates that Malta is slightly less susceptible to AI job displacement than other advanced economies. However, our analysis suggests that women, young, and people with high school degrees only, are at a greater risk of job displacement.
