D2L's survey also found that most workers want to use generative AI tools more in the workplace
Sixty percent of 3,000 full-time and part-time employees surveyed in the
The survey also revealed that, even as more American workers want to use generative AI at work overall, younger workers are more apprehensive about its potential impact to their jobs. Key findings include:
- More than a third of workers (43%) of all generations worry that another employee with better generative AI skills could replace them in their role in the next year.
- Gen Z workers are most worried. More than half (52%) of Gen Z respondents said they felt worried about being replaced by someone with better generative AI skills – slightly more than their Millennial peers (45%).
- Least concerned are Gen X workers. Only 33% of respondents of that generation said they thought they could be replaced in the next year by someone with better AI skills.
- Just over half of all workers (56%) agree that an employee who uses generative AI tools to do their work more effectively should receive a higher salary.
Younger workers were also more likely to say they planned to take multiple professional development courses over the next year. Around a quarter of both Gen Z (26%) and Millennial (24%) respondents said they planned to enroll in anywhere from six to 10 courses over the next 12 months. By contrast, only 12% of Gen X respondents said the same.
