A report by ADP Research Institute and Stanford Digital Economy Lab reveals that pay for routine IT tasks like diagnosing equipment and network setup has declined post-AI adoption, while design and evaluation tasks command higher wages. IT professionals must develop AI skills layered on core skills to remain valuable.
