Summary
In a Pew Research Center survey of 3,488 U.S. adults published September 16, Democrats reported being more concerned about AI than Republicans for the first time. Asked about the growing use of AI in daily life, 56% of Democrats said they were more concerned than excited, versus 49% of Republicans, a reversal from 2023 (59% Republican vs. 46% Democratic). On jobs, 75% of Democrats and 68% of Republicans expect AI to lead to fewer jobs over the next 20 years.
Why it matters for our work
As AI becomes a political issue, workplace adoption and training policies will increasingly be shaped by public opinion. Rising job anxiety suggests change management and reskilling are becoming core organizational tasks.
