With AI tools increasingly being used in various workplaces, the fear of seeing one's job – and skills – become totally obsolete is growing. This has sparked the coining of a new acronym, FOBO. In the United States, more than one in five people now fear that their work will be pointless due to new technology.

FOBO stands for “Fear of being obsolete”. While the concept is not at all new, it has taken on unprecedented proportions since the emergence of ChatGPT and the like.
