Poll Reveals Majority of American Workers Fear AI Will Negatively Impact Jobs
A recent Ipsos poll indicates that 67% of American workers believe the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) will worsen their work experience by eliminating jobs and increasing pressure to boost productivity. The survey, conducted among 1,533 Americans aged 18-75, highlights concerns about AI's impact on the workforce. While 30% of respondents think AI could improve work by automating repetitive tasks, a significant portion remains skeptical. Only 5% believe that U.S. workers will primarily benefit from AI, with 16% stating that only business owners or executives will gain from its adoption. The poll also reveals that 34% of respondents expect AI to have no impact on their jobs, while 12% fear it will make their tasks more challenging or less fulfilling. The survey's margin of error is plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
