According to a Pew Research Center survey, the youngest people in the US labor market are increasingly concerned about artificial intelligence, fearing that advances in this technology will cause large-scale unemployment. June data showed that for the first time since Pew began this survey in 2021, most adults under 30 said they were more concerned than excited about AI. This is in line with the attitude of most other age groups, but the change is particularly evident in the fact that the youngest group has gone from being the group most optimistic about the potential of AI in the past to being one of the groups most skeptical about this technology today. According to the survey, nearly three-quarters of people in this age group also believe that AI will cause fewer available jobs, up from 61% two years ago.
