A recent Pew Research Center survey reveals a widespread global belief that artificial intelligence will lead to significant job displacement over the next twenty years. Data from dozens of countries show that residents in wealthy nations like the United States and South Korea are especially anxious about these economic shifts. While many people express ambivalence toward the technology, younger adults are increasingly fearful that AI will erode human creativity and authentic social connections. Experts and public figures suggest that these concerns about economic inequality and skill atrophy necessitate a focus on responsible regulation. Ultimately, the findings highlight a growing tension between the rapid pace of technological optimization and the protection of human-centric values in the workforce.
