71% of Americans Say AI Could ‘Put People Out of Work Permanently’

Most Americans now see AI as a threat to their livelihoods, with 71% fearing it could permanently wipe out jobs. The findings come from a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, which shows widespread anxiety across the US as AI threatens job security and challenges the future of employment. The World Economic Forum estimates that 92 million jobs worldwide could be displaced by 2030, but 170 million new ones will be created in their place.
