  Media hype and technological breakthroughs are fuelling the race to adopt
Artificial Intelligence amongst the business community, but is there evidence
to suggest this will increase productivity? This paper uses 2015-2019 microdata
from the UK Office for National Statistics to identify if the adoption of
Artificial Intelligence techniques increases labour productivity in UK
businesses. Using fixed effects estimation (Within Group) with a log-linear
regression specification the paper concludes that there is no statistically
significant impact of AI adoption on labour productivity.
