The explosive launch of OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT in November 2022 has put the artificial intelligence or AI<\/a> conversation into overdrive. As we sort through potential ramifications of advanced AI applications, the impact on jobs is at the top of the list.
\u00a0
In July, two significant reports on AI job displacement<\/a> were released. On July 11,\u00a0the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development reported, “27% of jobs are in occupations at high-risk of automation.” <\/p>\n

Later that month,\u00a0Pew Research reported\u00a0a similar finding: “In 2022, 19% of American workers were in jobs<\/a> that are the most exposed to AI, in which the most important activities may be either replaced or assisted by AI.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

FRUIT-PICKING ROBOTS TAKE FLIGHT, JUST WHEN YOU’VE SEEN IT ALL<\/strong><\/a>
\u00a0
This is why, in our second annual poll on Americans\u2019 perspectives on the future, we asked the American people about their views on AI and jobs. <\/p>\n

Big picture, our poll revealed that Americans understand the importance of AI: half of Americans (48%) believe it to be important to America\u2019s future economic success.
\u00a0
When it comes to potential job displacement by AI, it turns out that Americans feel confident AI won\u2019t take their job but are worried it will take other people\u2019s jobs.\u00a0
\u00a0
First we asked if Americans were worried about AI displacing Americans\u2019 jobs “generally.” The options were “very worried,” “somewhat worried,” and “not worried at all.” Only\u00a0one in five\u00a0Americans aren\u2019t worried at all. Most Americans are worried:\u00a0four out of five\u00a0were at least somewhat worried to very worried. A little more than\u00a0one\u00a0out of five\u00a0Americans are very worried.\u00a0
\u00a0
Next we asked Americans if they were worried about AI displacing their own job. Stunningly,\u00a0three\u00a0out of five Americans were “not worried at all.” Only\u00a0one\u00a0in 10 Americans were “very worried.” This poll was conducted with a representative sample of the whole American population. <\/p>\n

In fact, this finding matches closely with a survey conducted as part of a\u00a0separate Center for Growth and Opportunity research project on the future of work.\u00a0This research also used a survey to gauge Americans\u2019 attitudes toward technology and its impact on work and specifically asked if Americans thought their job would exist 30 years from now. Three out of\u00a0four\u00a0Americans answered saying their job would exist in 30 years.
\u00a0
Automation and robotics, which can sometimes qualify as AI but not always, have long been known to displace workers in repetitive tasks like automobile assembly. However, it\u2019s not all bad news. My coauthor\u00a0Erica Jednyak and I pointed out in 2020\u00a0that these displacements often mean lower costs and higher quality goods for Americans.
\u00a0
ChatGPT and generative AI have exposed a whole new category of creative and intellectual jobs to potential displacement that more repetitive tasks have been exposed to. In the Pew research cited above, the top three job categories with the most “exposure” to AI fall into these categories: professional, scientific and technical services; finance, insurance, and real estate; and public administration.\u00a0
\u00a0
This is why we asked respondents for their thoughts on whether AI would “help” or “hurt” those employed in specific industries including law, medical, engineering, journalism, customer service, academia, publishing, management, K-12 education, manufacturing and transportation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Out of all these job categories, Americans thought AI was most likely to hurt journalism and customer service by 10 points compared to other jobs.
\u00a0
All of these numbers tell us a few things about how Americans are approaching this new technology.
\u00a0
The fact that most Americans aren\u2019t worried about AI taking their own job away perhaps reflects the intimate knowledge they have for their own jobs. When a discussion about “jobs out there” or “generally,” as we described it, that can be an amorphous concept that misses all the complexities that go into even simple jobs. <\/p>\n

For example, long-haul trucking has long been thought to be threatened by autonomous trucks operated by AI, yet companies and researchers continue to discover new complexities on the road that require human input. Full replacement has remained elusive and likely will for many years. <\/p>\n

This trend matches with the historical adoption of new technologies. Fears of job displacement by new technologies are woven through human history. However, history also demonstrates that while some jobs are lost, even more jobs are created or current jobs are made more productive. Americans seem to get that.
\u00a0
This finding could also perhaps show a blindspot in awareness of the capabilities of AI. All workers in all fields should be cognizant of the potential uses and applications in their field. As history has demonstrated so far with AI tools, outright displacement is not likely, rather augmentation and integration of AI into current jobs is the more likely outcome. <\/p>\n

With generative AI tools like ChatGPT, it is no longer repetitive predictable tasks that could be displaced or changed, but imaginative or creative tasks like writing and analysis.
\u00a0
Our poll can inform policymakers and journalists covering AI that the American people have nuanced views on this exciting technology. Those two groups can use their platform to provide sober analysis and information as we all continue to learn about the ramifications of AI in our economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
