Belying a widespread impression that generative artificial intelligence will erase jobs, some workers have taken a positive attitude toward it. According to a survey by professional staffing firm Robert Half Inc., 41% of US workers believe generative AI will have a “positive impact” on their careers. Optimism is not unconditional, however, as 14% worry it could make their skills obsolete.

Occupation strongly influences workers’s attitudes about AI. About 63% of technology professionals and 54% of HR professionals said generative AI will create more demand for their skills, according to the survey.

Generational differences also influence workers’ outlook. Members of Gen Z and millennials are more optimistic about generative AI than members of Gen X and baby boomers. The survey found 63% of Gen Z and 57% of millennials said they’re more optimistic about the benefits of AI, while only 30% of Gen X and 21% of baby boomers were.

“Given the hype around generative AI, it’s natural for workers to question the impact it will have on their immediate and long-term job prospects,” Trisha Plovie, senior VP of future of work at Robert Half, said in a press release. “What’s important right now is for both workers and employers to prioritize and understand the capabilities, benefits and risks it may present.”

The greatest benefits of generative AI cited by workers were automating time-consuming tasks, 35%, and increasing efficiency and productivity, 30%.

While 14% of workers said they believe generative AI could make their skills obsolete, 26% believe generative AI will have little to no impact on their career, according to the report, which surveyed more than 2,500 workers in the US.
