• 55% of young adults in the US now feel more concerned than enthusiastic about AI.
• 71% of Americans believe AI will lead to fewer jobs over the next 20 years.
• Only 11% of young adults feel more excited than worried about AI's impact on society and their lives.
• The Pew survey highlights a growing disconnect between AI use and unease among young adults.

For the first time, a majority of young adults in the U.S. say artificial intelligence leaves them more worried than enthusiastic.

A recent survey by the Pew Research Center has revealed a growing trend of young adults in the US becoming increasingly wary of AI. For the first time, a majority of young adults (55%) say they are more concerned than enthusiastic about the increasing use of AI in daily life. This shift is striking because younger people tend to use AI tools more often than older adults, yet their enthusiasm has cooled the most. In fact, only 11% of young adults now feel more excited than worried about AI, down from a quarter just five years ago.

The growing skepticism among young adults towards AI may have significant implications for companies that use AI in hiring practices. As AI adoption continues to rise in US workplaces, lawyers and compliance officers should be aware of the potential liability risks associated with biased or discriminatory AI-driven decisions. With 71% of Americans believing that AI will lead to fewer jobs over the next 20 years, companies may face increased scrutiny for their use of AI in hiring processes. This could expose them to liability for failing to address potential biases in AI systems.

The Pew survey highlights a growing disconnect between the increasing use of AI and the persistent unease among young adults about its impact on jobs and daily life. As AI continues to become more ubiquitous, companies must be aware of the potential risks associated with its use in hiring practices. By understanding the concerns of young adults, businesses can take steps to mitigate these risks and ensure that their AI systems are fair and unbiased. Ultimately, this requires a nuanced approach to AI adoption, one that balances technological innovation with social responsibility.

Lawyers and compliance officers should be aware that the growing skepticism among young adults towards AI may lead to increased scrutiny of companies' use of AI in hiring practices, potentially exposing them to liability for discriminatory or biased AI-driven decisions.
