AI Anxiety Rising Amid Job Fears | Portland Maine News
Description
New Gallup data reveals growing American anxiety about AI, with nearly 40% now believing it will do more harm than good — up from previous years — and 79% fearing job losses. Young adults (18-29) are especially skeptical, with nearly half leaning negative. Experts argue this stems from people only seeing AI through sensational headlines, missing its real-world benefits in medicine, energy, and engineering. While trust in companies to handle AI responsibly is declining, experts believe AI will ultimately do more good — but warn global regulation is essential to ensure ethical use. Though job displacement is inevitable with new tech, they’re optimistic new roles will emerge, even if they look different from today’s.
