A survey was conducted by Authority Hacker on the impact of AI on job security in the United States. Here are the key points:
- Over half of the surveyed full-time workers (54.58 percent) are worried about their job security due to AI.
- Men (62.87 percent) are more likely to fear for their job security compared to women (47.53 percent), possibly reflecting the higher ratio of men in tech firms.
- Higher earners ($150,000 or more) are more concerned (72.48 percent) about job security than those earning $50,000 or less (50.26 percent).
- Younger employees (25 to 44 years old) are more worried (62.2 percent) compared to those 45 and older.
- C-suite executives are the most worried (79.31 percent), while non-management and admin staff are less concerned (46.82 percent and 45.80 percent, respectively).
- Employees at larger companies (500 to 1,000 workers) are more anxious (74.33 percent) than those at smaller companies (25 or fewer employees).
- IT services and data (89.66 percent), software development (74.42 percent), and advertising (70 percent) are the professions most concerned about AI's impact.

So, the question for our readers is: Is AI coming for your job?
Please take the poll. Here are some opinions of some of the McCalmon editorial staff:

I use AI almost every day for research. AI will become better and may eventually eliminate some jobs, but I don't have a vision of mass unemployment…so far.

It will depend on your job, and sometimes it can be a good thing. For example, radiologists who use AI to read mammograms, according to a Swedish study, detected 20 percent more breast cancers. https://www.breastcancer.org/research-news/ai-mammogram-reading
