What was said

"Companies that spent heavily on AI did not shrink. In fact, they grew. So the highintensity AI adopters that they studied were spending $33 per employee per month on AI. Uh they grew $10.2% in a white collar and 12% at entrylevel growth. Uh in contrast the low inensity adopters spent $3 per employee per month, basically a tenth and showed no significant employment change."

A new study of 21,559 US companies found that organizations spending heavily on AI ($33 per employee monthly) grew their workforce by 10-12% while low-intensity adopters showed no employment change. Rather than replacing workers, deep AI integration appears to expand company ambition, enabling more projects and faster growth. The data contradicts prevailing narratives about AI-induced job destruction.
