Workers are worried about AI taking their jobs, but studies show it's happening slowly. Many employees want AI to help with boring tasks but don't trust it completely. A big study found that workers want to keep control over AI tools at work. People using AI at work every week reported feeling less happy with their jobs and lives. Some companies are firing workers to use AI instead, but experts warn this might hurt future innovation.

Goldman Sachs research shows AI hasn't caused big job losses yet. Only 1.5% of all job postings are for AI-related work. Workers want clear rules about how AI makes decisions that affect their jobs. In Germany, workers using AI tools felt slightly worse about their jobs even though their health didn't change.

Many workers fear AI could be unfair in hiring or promotions. Tech companies have laid off over 64,000 workers this year partly because of AI. Experts say companies firing people for AI might regret it later because humans are still needed for new ideas. Workers need training to work well with AI tools.
