More than half (52%) of Gen Z respondents said they felt worried about being replaced by someone with better generative AI skills – slightly more than their Millennial peers (45%).\n \n \n Least concerned are Gen X workers. Only 33% of respondents of that generation said they thought they could be replaced in the next year by someone with better AI skills.\n \n \n Just over half of all workers (56%) agree that an employee who uses generative AI tools to do the...
