Pew survey: Higher-income countries more concerned AI will cut jobs

A Pew Research Center survey of more than 42,000 adults across 37 countries found that concern about AI causing job losses and widening inequality is substantially higher in high-income nations than in middle-income ones. Median figures showed 55% in high-income countries versus 36% in middle-income countries expecting fewer jobs from AI, with awareness and concern strongly correlated with GDP per capita. Indian coverage highlighted the India-specific findings of relatively low awareness and muted job-loss expectations.
