How artificial intelligence will impact employment concretely in the long term remains difficult to assess, but that doesn’t mean working people aren’t taking an interest in this fast-growing technology. However, some categories of employees seem more interested in this subject than others, as a new global survey from LinkedIn reveals.

Unsurprisingly, the results reveal that younger workers are more enthusiastic about AI than their older colleagues. Some 52% of millennials and 48% of Generation Z believe that this technological advance will enable them to get their careers off the ground more quickly, by facilitating their access to knowledge. This, they believe, will help them gain confidence in the professional sphere.
