This paper addresses the role of technology in shaping worker‐level task prices, exploiting within‐occupation variation using a unique survey linked to administrative data for over 180,000 Dutch workers between 2014 and 2020. Nonroutine abstract and interactive tasks are related to wage premia, and routine tasks to wage penalties. However, these task returns vary according to exposure to the types of (new) technology, such as computers, robots and artificial intelligence. Overall, wages are higher in technology‐intensive industries, but newer technologies target non‐routine tasks differently. This may have profound implications for the nonroutine wage premium given the rise of artificial intelligence.
