Two-thirds of Americans say AI could do their job

The fear of artificial intelligence (AI) replacing human jobs is prevalent among American workers, as revealed by a recent survey conducted by Spokeo. Despite acknowledging the potential benefits of AI, over two-thirds of respondents admit that AI could perform their workplace tasks, and nearly three-quarters express concern about the technology’s impact on their industries. There is optimism about AI’s potential to reduce work-related stresses and working days, with a majority of workers believing that employers should offer training for AI tools. The public’s perception of AI reflects a conflict between long-term benefits and short-term livelihood concerns, with the need for business leaders to address these fears by highlighting AI’s advantages and easing workers’ concerns.
