Glassdoor Study Finds Gen Z Uses AI, Fears It More
A Glassdoor study looked at how different age groups feel about artificial intelligence.
Gen Z workers use AI tools more than older workers.
However, they are also more worried that AI could affect their jobs.
Workers in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are more positive about AI.
Nearly half of Gen X workers speak positively about how their companies use it.
The study suggests that older and more senior workers may see more opportunities from AI.
Gen Z may be more concerned because they expect to feel the technology’s effects sooner.
This shows that people of different ages do not view AI in the same way.
