Concern regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation is a significant factor in how employees view the future of their workplace. More and more companies adopt AI capabilities and software in their day-to-day routine. Workers, particularly those in non-tech-related positions, are concerned with the implications of the increased use of AI. Workers in South Africa, Portugal, and Spain were most concerned with their jobs being replaced by AI and automation. Germans were significantly less concerned of the prospects of job loss due to AI usage and automation. On average 41 percent of workers in the selected countries expressed some concern with the prospect of artificial intelligence and automation impacting their work.
