Young adults are losing faith in AI's upside
TL;DR
Data: Pew; Chart: Noah Bressner/Axios A majority of U. S. adults under 30 are now more concerned than excited about AI's growing use in daily life, according to a Pew Research Center report published Tuesday. Why it matters: AI excitement has dropped off across all age groups since 2021, as concerns about the technology's impact on job availability and society have grown.
Nauti's Take
Skepticism among the youngest cohort is an opportunity for anyone building AI products: address job security and control credibly and you stand out immediately. The risk is a mood that tips, because 73 percent job anxiety among under-30s is fertile ground for hard regulation.
Companies rolling out AI internally should explain the benefit for staff instead of only celebrating efficiency gains.
