Artificial Intelligence and the Rents of Finance Workers 1: HEC Paris, France; 2: Bayes Business School, United Kingdom This paper studies how artificial intelligence (AI) affects the finance labor market when humans and AI perform different tasks in investment projects, and workers earn agency rents that grow with project size. We identify two key effects of AI improvement: A free-riding effect raises worker rents by increasing the probability of successful investment when the worker shirks; A capital reallocation effect shifts investment toward workers with higher or lower rents, depending on which tasks AI improves. The model generates predictions that would not be obtained with a frictionless labor market. In particular, AI can increase labor demand and workers' rents even when substituting for workers.
