New Research Shows How AI Will Impact the Workforce

Across age groups, U.S. employees believe that paralegals (4%), insurance underwriters (5%), and pharmacists (7%) have the best chance to survive automation; More part time employees (25%) fear that AI will take their jobs within 10 years compared to full-time workers (18%), although there is no significant difference in attitudes on the specific jobs they think are likely to disappear. Employees at the largest companies (with more than 20,000 staff) are slightly less afraid (17%) than the overall group (19%) about the effect of AI/bots on their jobs, possibly because they have already experienced its negative impact (10%), and see a more stable future.
