New surveys: workers fear AI dependence as well as job loss
A US survey by ACC finds that workers fear dependence on AI more than losing their jobs. According to TU Darmstadt, those who understand AI better are more afraid of job loss, and in Latin America 40% of workers fear AI.
Who is affected and how
- employee
- Your own AI dependence and the erosion of skills are also risks, so it is worth deliberately maintaining independent professional competence.
- HR professional
- When introducing AI at work, the two types of fear (job loss and dependence) should be addressed separately in communication.
- manager
- Deeper AI knowledge does not automatically reduce anxiety, so training should be accompanied by a transparent vision of the role's future.
