In the collective imagination, Gen Zers spend most of their time on screens. They might therefore have a natural aptitude for working with artificial intelligence. But this seems not to be the case, as Gen Z appears to be more afraid than their elders of ending up jobless due to this technology.

More than 30% of 18-24-year-olds are afraid that the rollout of AI will have a dramatic effect on the job market, according to an Indeed* survey relayed by Fortune magazine. Their older colleagues are less alarmist, with only 15% of those over 45 fearing that they could lose their job due to artificial intelligence.
