"text": "The Quick Facts and Figures:\n\nIf you only want the summary, here’s the key information:\n\n* 37% of people in the UK have now used AI at work\n* 31% of the UK are worried about AI taking our jobs\n* 56% of those aged 16 – 24 with jobs have used AI in their work\n* How the world feels about AI and what countries perceive AI as more helpful than harmful\n\nA blog post published back in July showed a study that got underway to see how the UK imparticular, felt about AI taking over their jobs. How worried were they?\n\nA study made by Aquity did just that, they gathered together just over 2000 people to get them to answer a questionnaire about how worried they were about AI taking over their jobs. But for this questionnaire to be accurate everyone had to have a job, so that cut the group down to 1,332 people.\n\nOf those 1,332 people, Here's how they answered, \"how worried are you about AI taking over your job:\"\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/6w2nn7gi62ac1.png?width=625&format=png&auto=webp&s=ae19ed01287d90829a0cf174021cd0b4251dd490\n\nSo 31.16% of people in the UK are worried about AI taking their jobs.\n\n**37.39% have used AI in their job.**\n\nBut Acuity found massive differences by age\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/j8j9lbsj62ac1.png?width=666&format=png&auto=webp&s=03144ab826cc88b54af4fdffd832b1974e93f26d\n\nEssentially, the younger an employee is, the likelier they are to have used AI at work.\n\n**Of those aged 16 – 24 with jobs, over half of them have now used AI at work (56.04%).**\n\nThere are regional variations in AI usage at work as well.\n\nAcuity said, \"We can hypothesise on some of these variations being down to the demographics of the people living and working in those regions or even on the prominence of industries where AI may have more obvious direct use cases.\"\n\n​\n\n|**Number of People Who Have Used AI at Work**|\n|:-|\n\n\n​\n\n|**Region**|**% of Respondents Who Have Used AI At work**|\n|:-|:-|\n|East of England|29.84%|\n|Greater London|47.90%|\n|East Midlands|33.68%|\n|West Midlands|37.60%|\n|North East|31.74%|\n|North West|40.58%|\n|Northern Ireland|30.61|\n|Scotland|38.55%|\n|South East|31.15%|\n|South West|31.68%|\n|Wale|39.21%|\n|Yorkshire and the Humber|45.65%|\n\nAt the highest usage end of the spectrum\n\n*47.90% of employed people in London have used AI in their jobs. It falls as low as 29.84% in the East of England.*\n\n**across all UK respondents who work, just 31.3% reported being worried about AI taking their job.**\n\nBut we again see considerable differences when we break the data down by age.\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/zo9lt2sg72ac1.png?width=666&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a792c4b2dfe9d942721e3d4a6216051127ffb18\n\nYou know what's interesting? The youngest workers, those between 16 and 24, worry the most about AI stealing their jobs. What's even more intriguing is that these are the folks who use AI the most at work.\n\nAs AI becomes a big part of our jobs, it looks like more people will use them. And that might mean more people feeling uneasy about losing their jobs to AI\n\nIn a nutshell, the young workers, even though they're pretty familiar with using AI, still feel pretty nervous about these machines taking over jobs (In the UK anyway). And it seems like that worry might grow as AI becomes a bigger deal at work and especially as we are coming into 2024.\n\n*Source: (*[Aquity Training](https://www.acuitytraining.co.uk/news-tips/ai-statistics-2023/)*)*\n\nFinally, here is how the world on a global scale feels about AI:\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/fuslm89i72ac1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f6dfd17ef5785feef09a6b7a16cb0d6baa23640\n\nAnd here's what countries find AI to show more benefits than drawbacks:\n\n​\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/ri5dmfij72ac1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d60ddc1fcf29fbf77873ac4617ab80f77182cc0\n\nWhat do you guys think?",
