Global anxiety over AI's impact on jobs, Pew finds
TL;DR
A Pew Research global survey of 42,151 people across 37 countries (Feb. 8–May 13) finds that in 34 of 37 countries, respondents expect AI to cause more job losses than gains over the next 20 years, with especially high concern in wealthier nations like Australia, South Korea, and the U.S. Older adults are more worried than younger ones, who show mixed feelings and rising anxiety about AI-driven inequality. The data also show a global median of 41% who feel equally concerned and excited about AI in daily life, indicating a nuanced mix of fear and optimism.
