KPMG survey shows that more than half of American white-collar workers are not worried about AI threatening their jobs

CTOnews.com June 12-Accounting professional services firm KPMG conducted a survey of 1035 American white-collar workers between April and May about generative AI (AIGC). Recently, the agency published the results of this survey.

According to KPMG China, 57% of people believe that generative AI"does not pose a direct threat to their jobs," and only 19% are "quite worried that AIGC makes their job role irrelevant."
