Many Worry They May Be Replaced by AI: Survey

A new survey by Atlas VPN found 42% of people asked in 17 countries believe AI will replace jobs in their area of work. “AI models like ChatGPT can already write articles on specific topics or help copywriters write text for a company website,” said a Wednesday release: “Other AI tools help automate tasks, collect and analyze data, create graphic designs, or handle basic customer queries.” Almost as many respondents, 39%, disagreed and believe AI can't replace them. The survey found 67% of respondents remain optimistic about “the benefits AI can bring to society” and 60% are excited about AI technology. Conducted in September and October, the survey had 17,193 respondents.
