Majority of Americans Fear AI Could Cost Jobs, Poll Finds

More than half of Americans fear artificial intelligence could threaten jobs within their households, according to a recent national survey.

Concerns have grown about automation and job displacement.

The poll found that 53% of respondents expressed concern that AI could result in job losses affecting themselves or family members, reflecting rising anxiety over workplace automation.

The concerns come as companies continue increasing investments in artificial intelligence while restructuring operations and reducing staff in some sectors.

Recent layoffs across technology, financial technology, and software industries have heightened fears that automation may increasingly replace routine white-collar work.

Labor analysts say AI is likely to reshape employment patterns rather than eliminate jobs entirely, though workers in administrative, writing, customer service, and repetitive analytical roles may face greater disruption.
