A Pew Research Center survey indicates that 52% of U.S. workers fear job loss due to artificial intelligence. In contrast, employers assert that AI is intended to enhance productivity rather than reduce jobs. A survey by Mercury of 1,500 startup founders reveals a significant contradiction; 87% of these founders report greater confidence in their financial prospects compared to last year. Notably, firms adopting AI tools express intentions to increase hiring, with 79% of AI adopters indicating they are expanding their workforce.
More than half of U.S. workers fear artificial intelligence will take their jobs. Data from the Pew Research Center shows that 52% of its survey respondents worried about being replaced.
But perhaps most interesting is the sentiment around AI. Specifically, companies that have adopted AI tools are much more confident and, perhaps most surprisingly, say they intend to hire more human workers.
Seventy-nine percent of AI adopters said they're hiring more because of it. There's plenty of talk about AI killing jobs, but in our survey, those using AI were growing their teams, not shrinking them.
Mercury, a company that works with financial service providers to offer business banking for startups and small businesses, has published the results of a survey conducted in May of 1,500 early-stage founders and execs in the U.S.
