• Among employees who use AI at work, 72% say it makes them more productive, according to a new poll from CNBC and SurveyMonkey
  • Workers from within the Gen Z (37%) and millennial (35%) generations are the most likely to have used AI in their jobs, compared with older workers
  • Despite the positive feedback about AI and productivity gains, there’s a correlation between use of AI and subsequent fears about job security

 

"As 2023 got underway, OpenAI’s ChatGPT was barely a month old and conversations about the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce were just beginning. Fast forward to today and it’s hard not to hear about the ways in which generative AI will change how we get our jobs done — and whether some of those jobs will disappear completely.

Despite workers’ positive feedback about AI, 42% of employees said they’re concerned about the technology’s impact on their jobs. Among individual contributors, 44% said they are “very or somewhat concerned,” compared to 38% of managers or higher.

That speaks to a broader survey finding: the more employees use AI at work, the more concerned they become. Sixty percent of those using AI regularly said they’re worried about its impact on their job, compared with 35% of those who don’t use AI at work.

“Do not set yourself up in competition with the computers,” Chavez said at the CNBC Work Summit. “I decided in seventh grade to not compete with calculators on multiplying numbers. I had confidence finding what tools can do better will open up new things for me to do.”
