AI Will Change the Workplace
Out of the 2,000 Americans surveyed, 1,800 of them or 90% have a hunch that AI will affect the workforce in some way. However, those who participated feel that AI will have more negative influences than positive ones.

Amongst those surveyed, 63% think that AI will have a more negative affect in the workplace.

On the other hand, many involved in the survey (54%) feel that AI will produce positive solutions. They believe that AI will be better and expedite how jobs are accomplished, and will also allow businesses to flourish more.
