Did you know AI Adoption Reshapes Expectations for Future Job Markets Worldwide

 

Ever since the release of AI, a lot of people are using AI for different purposes. AI is helping people a lot in their tasks by providing them quick solutions in a short time and many organisations are also adopting AI for workplaces. Amidst all of this, there are also a lot of workers who are worried that AI is going to replace them, and they will become jobless. Ipsos conducted a survey in 33 countries to find out how citizens of each country feel about the adoption of AI, and whether they feel that AI will take away their jobs or create even more jobs.

The survey found that people in China think that AI is going to create more jobs in the country. 77% respondents from China think that it is likely that AI will create new jobs in the future, while 20% say that it is unlikely. The reason why Chinese are so optimistic about AI adoption is because of government initiatives and exponential growth in the AI sector, which is also leading to AI based academic research. The second country with the most optimistic approach towards AI is Indonesia, with 74% of the respondents saying that AI will create a lot of jobs and 23% think that it is unlikely. Thailand is the third top country saying that AI will create more jobs in the country with 71% thinking that it is likely and 24% saying that it is unlikely.

If we look at the top ten countries with the most optimistic approach towards AI, none of European countries are present. It is because people from European countries do not think that AI will have any positive impact on the labor market. People from Poland, Germany and Hungary are the least optimistic about AI creating jobs in their countries. If we look at the data overall, 43% of the people from countries surveyed think it is likely that AI will create jobs on average, while 46% on average think that it is unlikely that AI is going to create more jobs.
