In this work we investigate the possible job-creation impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, focusing on supply side, where development these technologies can be conceived as product innovations in upstream sectors. The empirical analysis is based a worldwide longitudinal sample (obtained by merging EPO PATSTAT and BvD-ORBIS databases) more than 3,500 front-runner companies that p...

Small-medium firms represent more than 90% of Italian firms, 50% of Italian production and 2/3 of employment and they need support in innovation process especially in known technology. The Italian small-medium firm, in fact, operates chiefly in medium to low technology sectors.
