For workers reconsidering their jobs amid the Great Resignation triggered by the pandemic, there is a new trusted source of career advice: artificial intelligence. Though economists are hard-pressed to quantify it, a population-wide career crisis has played a role in the current labor shortage, and that is reflected in a new survey of workers from Oracle. It finds 93% of individuals saying they took the last year to reflect on what is important; and 88% thinking about what success means to them. "For many of them that definition has changed," said Yvette Cameron, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Human Capital Management. Further, Oracle found 75% of workers saying they feel stuck personally and professionally and there is growing reliance on technology to make career decisions.

Sometimes, it seems like robots are completely taking over the world. Every year, thousands of machines are deployed into the workforce, taking jobs that humans used to do. And, workers are rightly worried. A new survey from CNBC and Survey Monkey found that almost four in 10 workers between the ages of 18 and 24 are concerned about new technology – like robots and artificial intelligence systems, taking over their jobs. Dan Schawbel, research director of Future Workplace, told CNBC that one reason why the younger generation is more concerned about a robot takeover is that artificial intelligence has rapidly become normalized throughout our society, and the length remaining in young people's careers will likely be impacted by AI. "They are starting to see the value of [AI] and how it's impacting their personal and professional lives," he said.

The Terminator movie franchise is back, and the idea that robots and artificial intelligence are coming for us -- specifically, our jobs -- is a big part of the present. But the majority of the working population remains unafraid of a T-800 stealing their employment. Only a little over one-quarter (27%) of all workers say they are worried that the job they have now will be eliminated within the next five years as a result of new technology, robots or artificial intelligence, according to the quarterly CNBC/SurveyMonkey Workplace Happiness survey. Nevertheless, the survey results show it may be only a matter of time: Fears about automation and jobs run higher among the youngest workers. The survey found that 37% of workers between the ages of 18 and 24 are worried about new technology eliminating their jobs.

Legislators in Congress, along with state and local governments, are creating AI laws. This year, California adopted a law regulating chatbots, and Illinois recently approved an AI law affecting video interviewing. Congress is also considering a law requiring firms to fix algorithmic bias. HR will feel the impacts from some of these new laws. Despite this regulatory uncertainty, businesses are adopting AI technology at a brisk pace, according to a new study by Oracle and Future Workplace LLC.

At its core, technology exists to make our lives easier. Thanks to artificial intelligence, our tools have gotten smarter, and we're more productive as a result. According to a study released earlier today, workers around the world not only recognize AI's importance in the modern workplace – they embrace it. Conducted over the summer in partnership between Oracle and Future Workspace, the second annual AI at Work study asked 8,370 employees, managers and HR leaders from 10 countries about AI and its place in their work. Researchers found that AI is rapidly changing not only how we conduct business, but the very relationship between people and the tech they use every day.

Forty percent of HR leaders believe artificial intelligence will help fill the skills gap. That's according to a new study by Learning House and Future Workplace, which surveyed 600 U.S. HR leaders. More than half of those surveyed acknowledged the skills gap and more than a third believe it's harder to fill open positions now than it was in 2017, but some critics say companies are not doing much to fix the problem. The study found that 74 percent of companies are only investing $500 per employee on learning and development. Jeremy Walsh, senior vice president of enterprise learning solutions at Learning House, said he was shocked by the low amount of money being spent on L&D.

FOX Business hits the streets to find out if people are truly ready to embrace robots at their job. Despite reports of people fearing robots will soon take their jobs, a majority of people say they are ready and willing to embrace them and even take orders from them at work, according to a new study released on Thursday. Oracle and research firm Future Workplace teamed up and polled more than 1,300 employees and human resource leaders about the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) at work and were surprised to find that most people are looking forward to embracing the technology soon. "It turns out that workers see a lot of potential in AI making both their personal and professional lives better not worse," Dan Schawbel, research director at Future Workplace and author of "Back to Human," tells FOX Business. Of those polled, many workers view AI as a way to eliminate routine tasks, increase their productivity and create a better employee experience overall.
