Americans surveyed see artificial intelligence as jobs killer

As companies ramp up hiring to develop AI, workers agree they need retraining for today's in-demand skills. At the same time, global workers -- particularly Americans -- say going back to school is no longer a feasible option, according to a survey by Northeastern University and Gallup. Just 1 in 4 Americans are confident that the higher education system is doing enough to address the need for career-long learning and retraining. Tuition costs are the biggest deterrent, followed by academic programs that aren't keeping up with an evolving workplace environment, according to the survey. Adults have even less confidence in the government's ability to prepare the public for the latest technological revolution.
