When Americans think about the artificial intelligence “revolution,” they expect it to have a positive impact on life and work, but a negative impact on the workforce and the economy. While only nine percent believe AI will “decrease inequality,” seven times as many (63 percent) think it will increase inequality. And while 14 percent anticipate AI creating more jobs than it eliminates, five times as many (73 percent) predict just the opposite. However, while nearly a quarter (23 percent) are afraid they’ll lose their job to AI, three-quarters (77 percent) have no fears about that. Also, 76 percent “agree” or “strongly agree” that AI “will fundamentally change” the way we live and work over the next decade.
