A new Reuters/Ipsos survey has uncovered widespread concern among American workers about the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to displace jobs across multiple sectors. As businesses increasingly integrate AI automation to enhance efficiency and reduce costs, many employees fear they could be left behind in the evolving job market.
The poll results indicate that a significant percentage of respondents believe AI technologies may lead to job loss, wage pressure, and increased economic inequality. Concerns are especially high in industries vulnerable to automation, such as manufacturing, customer service, logistics, and administrative roles.
Experts suggest that these concerns reflect a growing awareness of the transformative—and potentially disruptive—impact of AI in the workplace. While AI is also expected to create new roles and opportunities, the current anxiety highlights the need for government action, workforce retraining, and responsible AI deployment strategies to ensure inclusive growth.
As AI continues to advance, the findings from this national poll signal an urgent need for transparent communication, ethical policy development, and educational initiatives to prepare workers for the future of work in an AI-powered economy.
