Four out of five employees believe artificial intelligence will affect their daily work tasks, according to a new global survey by staffing and recruitment company Randstad. The survey found that Generation Z workers are the most concerned group, while baby boomers feel more secure and adaptable, according to Reuters.
Demand for jobs requiring so-called AI agent skills has risen sharply, up 1,587%, while AI and automation are increasingly replacing simpler, routine roles.
Almost half of employees surveyed fear that AI primarily benefits companies more than workers. There is also an optimism gap: 95% of employers expect to see growth this year, compared to 51% of employees who feel the same way.
