    <label>Chart 3: Most firms expect artificial intelligence to have limited impact on employment</label>
    <description><![CDATA[Expected impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on employment (share of firms that provided a response)sc

Responses are to the question in the Business Leaders’ Pulse that asked, “How do you expect this to affect the number of employees of your firm over the next 12 months and the next 3 years?” A large positive impact corresponds to an increase of 5% or more; a small positive impact corresponds to an increase of less than 5%; a small negative impact corresponds to a decrease of less than 5%; and a large negative impact corresponds to a decrease of 5% or more. Shares may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
