AI Divide: Why Young Workers Fear AI More Than Their Seniors

Will Gen AI disrupt job security for younger workers? – As generative AI transforms workplaces, concerns about job security are surfacing, especially among younger employees. According to a recent Penta Group report, an “AI divide” is growing, with younger workers expressing the most fear about being replaced. How can companies build trust, communicate transparently, and empower their workforce to adapt while driving innovation with AI?

Join Andrea Christianson, Partner at Penta Group and head of the Global AI Taskforce, as we delve into these pressing questions. Together, we’ll unpack the report’s findings, explore actionable strategies for fostering trust and adaptability, and examine the role of responsible AI adoption in shaping the future of work.

Among key points discussed include:

- Why do 50% of employees fear AI could replace their jobs?

- How do perceptions of AI vary across generations and seniority levels?

- What role does clear communication play in easing AI-related fears?

- How can organisations address concerns and foster a culture of openness?

- What steps are essential to prepare employees for an AI-driven workplace?

- How can businesses bridge the skills gap and ensure adaptability?

- What specific training and development approaches can support younger employees in an evolving landscape?
