Four out of five employees believe artificial intelligence will affect their daily work tasks, according to a new global survey by staffing and recruitment company Randstad. The survey found that Generation Z workers are the most concerned group, while baby boomers feel more secure and adaptable, according to Reuters.

Demand for jobs requiring so-called AI agent skills has risen sharply, up 1,587%, while AI and automation are increasingly replacing simpler, routine roles.

Almost half of employees surveyed fear that AI primarily benefits companies more than workers. There is also an optimism gap: 95% of employers expect to see growth this year, compared to 51% of employees who feel the same way.

Randstad’s survey is based on responses from 27,000 employees and 1,225 employers, as well as an analysis of more than 3 million job ads in 35 countries.
