Most people think AI will cut more jobs than create them; Indians feel AI will widen rich-poor gap—Pew
Pew survey across 37 countries finds clear income and age divides, with people from wealthier countries and the young saying AI means fewer jobs; Australia, South Korea & US top list.
New Delhi: Artificial intelligence is seen more as a potential source of job losses than job creation across much of the world, with people in 34 of 37 countries surveyed saying AI is likely to result in fewer jobs over the next 20 years.
At 76 per cent each, Australia and South Korea record the highest share expecting job losses, followed by the United States at 71 per cent. A majority in Greece, Canada, France and the UK also expect AI to reduce jobs.
The report comes amid global warnings from tech executives, researchers and world leaders against using Artificial Intelligence, including an apocalyptic statement from a researcher at Anthropic that AI could lead to possible loss of human lives in a decade.
