Imagine you’re a skilled jigsaw puzzle solver, but suddenly there’s a new, super-fast puzzle-solving machine that threatens to take your job. That’s how some American workers feel about artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. A recent survey by the American Psychological Association reveals widespread concerns among workers that AI could replace them in their jobs. Some workers are concerned about the constant tracking of their performance and behavior by AI systems, while others worry about being replaced altogether. These fears highlight the pressure and uncertainty faced by workers in an increasingly automated world. While AI has the potential to greatly enhance productivity, it also poses risks to job security and privacy. Will humans ultimately become obsolete in the face of advancing AI technology? It’s unclear, but it’s crucial that we find a way to harness these technologies without compromising the well-being and economic livelihoods of workers.
