Gen Z's Growing Skepticism Towards AI Raises Concerns Over Job Opportunities
Recent surveys indicate a growing skepticism among Gen Z towards artificial intelligence (AI), with a notable increase in the percentage of young adults expressing anger about AI. According to a survey conducted in the United States, the share of Gen Z respondents who feel angry about AI rose from 22% last year to 31% this year. This sentiment is largely driven by fears that AI is reducing opportunities for entry-level workers, a concern more acutely felt by the youngest adults compared to their mid-career peers. The survey, which included over 1,500 participants aged 14 to 29, also revealed that more than half of the respondents regularly use generative AI, yet the percentage who feel hopeful about the technology has decreased from 27% to 18% since last year. Additionally, close to half of the young adults in the workforce believe the risks of AI outweigh its potential benefits on the job, marking an 11-point increase from the previous year.
