- Managers say that AI increases production, but are still worried that it can cause disturbances among anxious workers.
- More bosses think that humans are irreplaceable, but AI could still change their salary
- The fear of AI has not faded, even when the daily use of technology decreases slightly
The AI has changed a novelty to a pillar in many workplaces, but its increase continues to cause concern among employees, according to new research.
A 3,000 Beautiful.AI managers survey revealed, while managers generally see AI tools as a useful asset, most workers remain restless about their implications.
According to the survey, almost two thirds (64%) of managers believe that their employees fear that the AI will make them less valuable, and 58% say that the staff is concerned that these tools eventually cost them their work.
Human works seem safe, but only to some extent
Despite these concerns, workers can comfort themselves to know that managers are becoming more cautious when replacing people with machines. Compared to last year, 15% more managers (now 54%) oppose the idea of using AI to replace workers.
Only 23% believe that replacing workers with the benefit of their company, while 63% feel that their teams would not work properly without human roles.
However, the tension around AI goes beyond the potential loss of employment. The managers cited “fear of the unknown” and the resistance to employees as a key challenges when introducing AI tools.
There is still a reason for concern, as AI continues to evolve. 71% of the managers said that AI works along, or better than a rookie manager. Even so, most believe that AI stands out in tedious or repetitive tasks, but it still falls short when it comes to making high -level decisions.
Managers mainly use AI to increase productivity and improve efficiency. For example, many of the best human resources software and recruitment platforms now integrate AI characteristics to help optimize hiring and internal processes, without completely replacing human judgment.
That said, the salary remains a delicate problem. Although the fears of salary cuts driven by AI have decreased slightly, 41% of managers still see AI as a threat to salaries. The greatest efficiency could mean less broader roles or responsibilities for people, which potentially reduces payment for others. In some cases, AI -assisted tasks can also be valued less.
While most human roles seem safe for now, the nature of work can change as AI becomes more integrated in daily operations.
