New Research Reveals Artificial Intelligence Threatens Global Employment

A new global study conducted by the Pew Research Center across thirty-seven countries has revealed that the majority of participants believe artificial intelligence will create negative impacts on employment. The research confirmed that job loss fear is running at much higher levels in wealthy economies.

Details and Scope of the Global Research

A new global study published by Pew Research examined the effects of artificial intelligence on employment, general living conditions, and income inequality. As part of the study, more than forty-two thousand people across thirty-seven countries were interviewed to analyze public opinion on artificial intelligence in detail.

Job Loss Fear Concentrated in Wealthy Countries

In thirty-four of the thirty-seven countries participating in the research, the public believes that artificial intelligence will lead to job losses over the next twenty years rather than creating new employment fields. This concern was recorded at much higher rates, particularly in developed and wealthy nations such as Australia, South Korea, and the United States.

Income Inequality and Political Tendencies

Participants generally foresee that artificial intelligence will increase the economic gap between the rich and the poor. It was determined that individuals with left-leaning political views, particularly in wealthy countries, have a more dominant belief that this inequality will grow.

Perception of Artificial Intelligence by Age Groups

It was observed that the age factor influences opinions regarding the effects of artificial intelligence on daily life. Older individuals are more concerned about the effects of artificial intelligence on daily life, while young adults between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four generally possess mixed feelings.

Rising Anxieties Among Younger Generations

It was observed that anxiety rates among young demographic groups in countries such as Sweden, Poland, Japan, Australia, Brazil, and the United States have risen sharply over the past year. This situation shows that young people have become more sensitive regarding the issues of job loss and inequality that artificial intelligence will trigger.

Balance of Excitement and Concern in Social Sentiment

The public perception captured by the Pew research does not paint a completely negative picture. According to global media, while forty-one percent of participants stated that they are both concerned and excited about the presence of artificial intelligence in daily life, only a thirteen percent segment feels primarily excited.
