this research aims to provide a practical understanding of the positive and negative employee experiences caused by the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and the creation of techno stress. It explains the difficulties of human resource development with the advent of Industry 4.0. Recent evidence suggests an increase in artificial intelligence and robotics (AI) patenting activity in recent years, implying that AI-based solutions may have begun to have an impact on the economy. We test this hypothesis using a global sample of 5257 companies that submitted at least one AI-related patent between 2000 and 2016. After controlling for other patenting activities, our analysis demonstrates that AI patent applications have an extra-positive impact on company labor productivity. The influence primarily affects SMEs and the services sector, indicating that the ability to swiftly adapt and integrate AI-based applications into the production process is a key factor in the impact of AI so far.
