Pew: AI job-loss fears lead in 34 of 37 countries

People in 34 of 37 countries expect AI to cause more job losses than job creation over the next 20 years, according to Pew Research Center’s 2026 global survey. Pew also finds a 37% median more concerned than excited about AI’s growing use, against 41% who feel equally concerned and excited. For builders, this is an adoption signal: pair automation claims with role-specific cost and outcome evidence, not benchmark scores alone, as the archive’s AI Employees cost study shows.
